The polar dip is the major fund raiser for this particular shelter. Like all the polar dips I do they are trying to raise funds for various charities. You can obtain pledges from people when you tell them you are doing the dip, but I have to confess I don't do that. I don't like going around asking people for money and since I usually do three polar dips every year people get a bit upset when you repeatedly knock on their door begging for funds. So I just pay the entry fee and consider that my donation to the cause.

It's better than nothing and folks seem to like to see me take the plunge in my clothes, which I suppose helps the cause as well. Oliver, my cat, was adopted from an animal shelter. Not this particular one but still I figure that's one less homeless creature and when you consider the cost of food and vet bills these days it can really mount up, especially if you have an animal that needs surgery or is on a special diet.

Surprisingly the director of this shelter has never done the polar dip - which is now in its eighteenth year. Last year somebody pledged a great amount of money if she would take the dip. She vowed she would do it this year, which a lot of people will donate to see. We will see what happens.

Like I said, my donation will be small, but every bit helps. And it will definitely be a wacky wet time.
