Fred Daniels, who will become our District Governor on July 1 but already has made himself a strong presence on the 7190 scene, manages a grin as he emerges chilly but relatively unscathed from the New Year’s Day “Polar Plunge” in Lake George, an annual fundraiser for Rotary’s ongoing fight against polio.

Fred’s friends pledged $1,050 for him to go in up to his neck in the lake during the event. Current DG John Mucha has announced that if all pledges and matching funds are realized, 7190 will have raised about $30,000 through this year’s plunge.
