2016 Polar Bear Plunge!

Over 130 plungers raised over $11,000 for charity in this year’s Annual Polar Bear Plunge! Amazing! Thank you to everyone who participated and came out to watch. Special thanks to Gayle Zirkle, Chris Plickert, Lee Posiadala, Shawn Morris and the rest of the Polar Bear Club members and volunteers! The plunge was dedicated to the memory and honor of Emily Plickert, a student at Grand Valley High School and resident of Roaming Shores, who tragically passed away in a car accident last year.

Clubhouse Repairs Underway

The Clubhouse has been bustling with activity over the past few weeks, but it hasn’t been from parties. The original floor on the East side of the Clubhouse is in the process of being replaced. The Clubhouse was completed in 1967. Many of the areas in the floor were uneven which lead to much of the cracking witnessed on the East end. The West end’s slab was in good shape and did not require replacement.

While working on the floor, we will also be replacing many of the single-pane windows and doors and will be installing energy efficient lights. Once completed, the Clubhouse should be much more energy efficient all around.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Clubhouse work should be completed by the end of February.

Below is a slideshow of the progress up to 2/24/16

Fireworks Information

FIREWORKS: SATURDAY, JULY 2, 2016

50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

IMG_3530
The Promotion Club will fund the fireworks show for 2016 in “thanks” for so many generous donations from our RRA members over the past few years. Therefore, we did not have a formal fundraiser this past Fall.

*** Any families who still wish to donate, thus enhancing the 2016 display, may do so when paying their dues, with a separate check to the Roaming Shores Promotion Club, which will then be given to us.

Many thanks to all who, through their donations, have continued to make the fireworks event possible each year in our community of Roaming Shores.

Our best wishes for good health & much happiness to all
in 2016.

Fireworks Coordinators for the RS Promotion Club

Clubhouse to Undergo Repairs

If you have been to the Clubhouse in recent years, you may have noticed the floor cracking on the west side. From January 18th to approximately March 9th, the Clubhouse will be closed to all activities while the floor is replaced. Please contact your Club leaders for an alternate meeting place.

When finished, the floor should have a sharp new look including a dance floor. The maintenance department have removed roots and installed drain tile to prevent future damage.

Polar Bear Plunge is March 12th

This year’s Polar Bear Plunge event will begin at 1 pm on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at the Roaming Shores Clubhouse/Main Beach. The actual plunge will begin at 3pm.

The Polar Bear Plunge will include brave students from Jefferson, Grand Valley and Pymatuning Valley Schools, as well as wild and crazy local area residents. Last year’s event was a huge success as we raised $7542. We need your help to make this year’s event even more successful.

This year, the money we raise will be used to benefit the Jeff Meddock Memorial Scholarship, Jefferson Area Local Schools Academic Boosters, Grand Valley Schools student programs in memory of Emily Plickert, and the Roaming Shores Breakfast with Santa event.

Grand Valley Schools strives to improve student programs in the memory of Emily Plickert, a beloved cheerleader, classmate and friend to all.

Jeff Meddock was a resident of Roaming Shores and the beloved principal of Pymatuning Valley High School. He died unexpectedly and the money we raise helps to continue his pursuit to educate.

Both Jeff and Emily were very proud active members of The Polar Bear Club.

The Jefferson Academic Boosters strives to reward students for academic success. Also, a portion of the money we raise is also used to host the Roaming Shores Breakfast with Santa event.

If you are interested in taking the Plunge, a minimum of $55 must be raised. There is no age limit (minors will need parental consent). Each courageous person that takes that icy Plunge will get a t-shirt as a thank you for participating. Please contact us using one of the methods listed below to get required Plunge forms.

There will be a DJ and a 50/50 raffle! We’ll be serving hot dogs, chili, popcorn, chips and soda. Additional merchandise will be available for sale. You can purchase items before and/or after the plunge. First come, first serve.
