WARSAW — Polar  Plunge planning for the 2017 season is already well underway. Each year, a committee forms to help with the Warsaw Plunge.

The team works on venue, safety, volunteers,  recruitment, sponsors, media and related events. The committee will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, at Latte Lounge, 108 N. Buffalo St. Warsaw, across from the courthouse. The final total for the 2016 Warsaw Plunge exceeded $17,000.00 dollars and the goal is to exceed that in 2017.
