LAKEPORT – On Jan. 1, 2010, Garage Bootcamp is sponsoring the inaugural New Year's Day Lake Plunge at Library Park in Lakeport.

The event is free, but voluntary donations are welcome at registration, with proceeds ti benefit troops through Operation Tango Mike.

Everyone is welcome to join the fun with the free bootcamp (a fun warmup for the plunge) at 10 a.m. The plunge will be at 11 a.m.

“Plungers” should wear a swim suit under warm clothing, old sneakers, bring towels and a big smile for the pre-plunge group picture.

To be “official” plungers must dunk in all the way. A whistle will blow the start!

Politicians, celebrities, police, firemen and the public are invited.

For more information call Becky Peterson 707-277-0720. Information will be available soon at www.garagebootcamp.com .
