Freezin’ for a Reason – November 24, 2016
The Annual Cold Turkey Plunge, benefitting the Nantucket Atheneum, is celebrating its 15th year!  Hundreds of brave swimmers (or dunkers) and spectators gather at Children’s Beach on Thanksgiving morning for the event.  It is great fun and raises funds for our library, a wonderful cause.  It is not too late to register as a turkey plunger!  Some folks come up with elaborate outfits and the smart ones incorporate some version of a wet suit.  For more information:  https://www.firstgiving.com/nantucketatheneum/15th-annual-cold-turkey-plunge

Atlantic East is a proud sponsor of both of these fun community events.
