Yuletide Plunge

What are you doing this Saturday?

For just $5, you can spent the morning swimming in Salem Harbor!

Here’s the deal:

Local friend (and outdoor enthusiast) Derek Jones is organizing the 1st Annual Yuletide Plunge. It’s $5 to take the plunge and all proceeds benefit Salem’s own HAWC (Help for Abused Women and Children). The party starts at 9AM at Waikiki Beach on Winter Island in Salem.

Refreshments will be available, as well as a raffle for those who complete the plunge.

Don’t feel like taking a plunge? Then come support HAWC and watch the rest of us freeze!

So I headed to Glasgow.”
