On Saturday, April 2, three Reading Rotarians joined hundreds of others in District 7930 to at the Polar Plunge to end Polio. John Douglass, Mike Bonsey and Peter Majane all dunked at Long Beach on the Gloucester/Rockport line. Also, there to support our Plungers were Allain Collins, Phil Stewart, Gina and Mike Nelson, Tim and Chris Kelley, Mike Collins and Laurie Douglass with two energetic dogs.It was a lot of fun to participate in such a large event with so many Rotarians. Kudos to Gloucester Rotary for organizing the event.
