Lake Calhoun Polar Bear Plunge
Greetings Augsburg Community,
It is I, Officer Bob Peterson, your favorite Public Safety Officer, here to let you know that it's that time of year again my teammates the "Masons of Minnesota" and I will be participating in the Polar Bear Plunge. The Polar Bear plunge is an event sponsored by the Minnesota Law Enforcement Association to raise money for the Minnesota Special Olympics.
The Special Olympics is an organization that helps individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities through organized sporting activities.
This year will be our second year participating in the Polar Bear Plunge. In 2011 our team raised $6,200 dollars. This year we have set our goals higher, we have committed ourselves to be an official sponsor. Our goal for 2012 is to raise a minimum of $20,000 dollars in pledges. Thus far, the Masons of Minnesota have raised $4,464 dollars for this event. We have also spoken with Minnesota Masonic Charities and have secured a grant of $10,000 dollars which brings our pledge total to $14,429 dollars.
As I mentioned our team's goals are higher, and we need your assistance. If you would like to support us by making a tax deductible monetary pledge please visit the link listed below.
If you would like to participate by joining our team to "take the plunge" please contact me via email. The plunge will take place at Thomas Beach at Lake Calhoun on Saturday March 3rd, 2012 the exact plunge time is to be determined. Hope to see you there!
Thank you,
Robert Peterson

Tragedy in Khadija's Kenyan Family
Our colleague in custodial services, Khadija Dida, has experienced a deplorable tragedy. Her cousin, a driver for a game park in northern Kenya, was brutally murdered in an attack on Swiss tourists last fall, leaving a widow and four children with no income. Please help Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies faculty collect funds to support the daughter Farida, a third-year college student, and two young sons Yusuf and Mohamed. Public schooling in Kenya is not free. One year of tuition for all three is only $1000. Please contact or send your check made out to Frankie Shackelford and marked "Khadija's cousins" to CB 27.
Great Affordable Mechanic
My friend David is a mechanic with over 10 years of professional experience, has a very flexible schedule to accommodate yours, and is completely thorough and honest. He is a stay at home dad and is trying to avoid having to get a job at another shop so he can be present for his family, and has the time, tools, and equipment needed to keep your car running (he has been keeping ours moving for 6 years). He can be reached at 952-270-5030. Thanks to all the Auggies who have worked with him in the past.
I'm Looking for a Nice Mattress
I have a friend moving in with us for a while, and would like to find him a good full size mattress. Do you have one hanging around that you would like to part with?
