Special Olympics Nevada (SONV) is encouraging residents to “Plunge with a Purpose” this season and take an icy dive for charity at the Mesquite Polar Plunge, beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Mesquite Recreation Center Pool. The Polar Plunge is a national movement to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics and its athletes. Plungers are asked to raise a minimum of $125 each to participate and take the chilly dive in support of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Registration includes a Polar Plunge long-sleeve shirt and festivities such as contests, games, refreshments and awards for top fundraisers and best costumes. Supporters not up to the plunge itself may also raise money as a “chicken” and receive the shirt but stay nice and dry.

Mark your calendar for Mesquite Works Job Fair Tuesday, Feb. 5 95 a.m. – 1 p.m. at The Rising Star Sports Ranch 333 N. Sandhill Blvd. Stop on by their volunteer staffed office for FREE assistance with creating/updating your resume and refreshing your interview skills! They are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Registration and sponsorship opportunities are available at www.mesquitepolarplunge.com.

Remember to send in those event notices, things are going to be happening that you’ll want folks to know about. Send them to terin.bbm@gmail.com so you can everyone know what’s happening with your group or club.
