Last summer a small Chickadee was caught in my greenhouse. It took about 15 minutes to finally catch the frightened bird in my hands and I took it to the greenhouse door to release it into the air. With perfect timing, my Australian Shepherd Lexie, caught the little bird just as it was soaring to leave like a ball. I screamed at Lexie and told her to let the bird go. Amazingly, Lexie opened her mouth and the Chickadee flew away.
All that to say, we all get second and third chances, and now it’s yours! Take the challenge and JUMP!
The “frosty” plunge is set for Saturday, February 22, 2020, and is sponsored by the Mat Su Sertoma Club. The event will be held at the Everett’s Mat Su Resort again this year.
All funds raised stay right here in the valley. This year, our Summer Camp Scholarship Winner, Malia Batchelder will be attending the Gallaudet University Summer Youth Camp. Funds raised will also be used for free ASL classes planned for the community in 2020.
Take the plunge, get a group together now and be part of the “Original Valley Dip!” Pledge sign up sheets and on-line pledging can be found on our website.
