MaryBeth Munden of St. Joseph raised $2,270 by taking the Polar Plunge into Mille Lacs Lake recently, an event to raise funds for Special Olympics Minnesota. That amount exceeded her goal of $2,000, which she called a “pleasant surprise.” Her boyfriend, Rick Welch (left) also plunged and raised $75. Of the six plunges Munden has taken in the past year, this last one was the “nicest,” meaning the weather was about 60 degrees with a shining sun.
