BABY - IT'S COLD OUT THERE
Recently, the Rotary Club of Lincoln sponsored a team to participate in It's Cold Out There, a fantastically, fun, family friendly walking fundraiser that raises money for the hungry, homeless and hurting in 100+ communities across Canada.team. The team had a fun time and all its members had snowflake tattoos for the walk except for John (who couldn't be talked into it). With help and donations from family & friends, the team surpassed its fundraising goal of $1000. John & Martha Kralt were the team captains for the walk.
