OUR BEACH WHEELCHAIR PROGRAM GOT OFF TO AN EARLY START IN 2007 WITH A REQUEST TO USE A CHAIR DURING A FUNDRAISER EVENT SPONSORED BY THE CENTRAL UNITED  METHODIST CHURCH.  THE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE  RAISED MONEY FOR KATRINA RELIEF EFFORTS. The event was held on the beach at the Windswept Motel in Point Pleasant Beach on Sunday March 4, 2007.  The air temperature was in the low 40's but with the strong winds it felt much colder!  Congratulations to all the brave participants for taking the plunge for such a worthy cause!

"Hi Ralph,

I just wanted to thank you so much for providing me with the beach chair so that I could enjoy the polar bear plunge. It truly meant a lot to me. Thank you for taking your time on a Sunday to get the chair out of storage and deliver and return it for me. My husband jumped in and said, "well, I did it...never again." We'll see. We raised money for a mission trip to help rebuild the Katrina devastated areas. Thank you again. Lisa E."
