Special Olympics Club members will have two tables in the Murray-Herrick Campus Center from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day this week. The tables will be located inside the first-floor Grill and outside the second-floor student dining room.

Club members will hand out information about the March 5, 2011, Polar Bear Plunge. You are invited to register and raise the $75 required to participate in the plunge, or you can support a “plunger” by donating to the UST Plunge Team.

Students, staff and faculty are welcome to participate. For more information, contact Addison Farrell, co-president of the St. Thomas Special Olympics Club, at acpetersfarr@stthomas.edu.
