Polar Bear Plunge Postponed

 

A survey of the membership showed that there isn't much interest at this time and that there was too much going on in the month of February to hold our 1st annual Polar Bear Plunge.  Therefore, the Oakwood Swim and Racquet Board of Directors has decided to reschedule this for January 1st of next year.
