King County Marine Rescue stood by |
The Marine Police were at the Sheridan Beach club, parked by the dock, along with Lake Forest Park Police in full force. Chief Harden went dipping too!
The sixth Annual DIP proved to be the best ever. Dippers and friends were there to dip, eat, drink coffee, hold towels, smile and have great conversations with each other.

It was such a wonderful event! Thanks to Robin Roat and her dedication to eradicating Polio. We all had so much fun!
Another example of the Rotary Club of Lake Forest Park supporting its community and having fun.
Methinks they will have much more to do in the future - heaven forbid we go backwards on polio vaccinations!
