Laraway Leapers brave icy temperatures to raise funds for Lamoille Restorative Center




     Temperatures were slated to dip to -14 degrees Fahrenheit on Valentine's Day.  Frigid air and icy waters did not dissuade the Laraway Leapers team from jumping into Lake Elmore to raise funds for the Lamoille Restorative Center.  Laraway's team included Patty Hannigan, Doug Wiemer, Cornelius Murphy and Greg Stefanski.
     The Morrisville Rotary Lake Elmore Polar Splash has become a tradition in Lamoille County.  Laraway was a beneficiary agency a few years ago.  It was only fair to "step up to the ice" for one of our community partners.  The Lamoille Restorative Center, based in Hyde Park, is a community-based agency established to address unlawful behavior, support victims of crime, and provide healthy families and communities within the Lamoille Valley Region of Vermont.
      As of this writing, an impressive $22,700 has been raised!
