The 2021 Season of Mountain Meisters is underway at Cranmore and Kevin Hamlin joined Gino on The Magic Morning Show to tell us all about Week 6!

Kevin told us that this week’s participation was just under 300 racers and they raised just under $1000 for End 68 Hours of Hunger with the “Pay-to-Play” option for a third run after two weeks. Next week there will be no “Pay-to-Play” option since the Meisters will be tackling the Downhill. It will be one and done.

Kevin named Kelley Jon Scruggs as the White Mountain Stove Shop‘s “FIRED UP Meister” of the week. Listen to the segment below!

Special Olympics New Hampshire is excited to bring you a brand new approach to the Winni Dip in 2021, aimed to offer everything you love about the Dip, while encouraging you to participate safely wherever you are.  You’ll still be able to get cold and earn bragging rights, compete for prizes like best costume and top fundraiser, earn incentives for the funds that you raise…and support more than 3,000 Special Olympics New Hampshire athletes across the granite state! SONH’s Mark Ericson joined Gino on the Magic Morning Show today and told us all about it. Listen and check out the details below!

 

 

Take the Dip on March 6th and 7th!  You will receive a Dip Tank that contains everything you need for your DIY Dip: a party pack, snack pack, and any incentives that you’ve earned.  Once you receive your Dip Tank, you are set to Dip however you’d like. 

All Dippers must sign a waiver before Plunging, either online or paper form. Individuals under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian complete their waiver. 

Get creative, this is your year to do it your way!  Take video or photos of your Dip, add them to your fundraising page and be sure to tag #SONHDip on social media. 

Need some ideas for your Do-It-Yourself Dip? Check out videos & photos from the Plunge! 

Important Dates to Remember

Tuesday, March 2nd: All Dippers should meet the $350 fundraising minimum by this date to guarantee their Dip Tanks by 3/6 & 3/7.

Thursday, March 4th and Friday, March 5th: Your Dip Tank will be delivered to you.

Saturday March 6th and Sunday, March 7th: DIP!

Remember, safety first!

Cold/freezing/frozen water presents obvious and not-so-obvious dangers and is risky at any depth to people of any age, mobility, or health status. You must exercise caution and personal responsibility in your DIY Dip activities. SONH cannot identify or control the risk of every DIY Dip activity and has not endorsed or approved as safe for any particular Dip activity. 

Be smart, be safe and be careful in whatever form your DIY Dip takes you, follow applicable water (and freezing water) safety and COVID-19 protocols. Have fun with it, but most importantly, BE SAFE!

Meeting people as an adult is hard. Add the complicated etiquette of social media and social distancing to the mix, and it’s even harder! In ‘Friendshipping’, Jenn Bane and Trin Garritano help adults navigate the tricky path of finding friends, being friends, and keeping friends! Trin joined Gino on The Magic Morning Show today and they talked all about it! Listen below! 

 

Here to help navigate the muddy waters of adult friendship is FRIENDSHIPPING: The Art of Finding Friends, Being Friends, and Keeping Friends, written by real-life besties and hosts of Friendshipping, a feel-good podcast about making friends as an adult. Accompanied by masterful artwork by Jean Wei and filled with straightforward advice, listener questions, and helpful scripts, FRIENDSHIPPING explores the universal difficulties of making new friends and how to overcome them.

Authors Jenn and Trin see friendship as a skill—something that can be improved upon with practice, patience, and self-compassion. And unlike most resources, this guidebook is written with all gender identities in mind, and for people of all ages and from all walks of life. Throughout the book, Jenn and Trin address important topics like:

  • How to decide which relationships are worth your limited time and energy
  • What to do when meeting an online friend IRL, and should you even do it at all?
  • How to reach out to, and maintain relationships with, friends who are far away
  • What to do if your friend is making a huge mistake
  • What to do if romantic and/or sexual feelings for a friend develop

Jenn and Trin also address the complexities of mixing business and friendship (it’s worked for them!), strengthening current friendships, rekindling a long-lost one (or not!), and making friends on the internet (it’s easier than you think)—and there’s also advice about setting boundaries, stating needs, and leaving toxic people behind. FRIENDSHIPPING is a compassionate, inclusive, and comprehensive guide for anyone who craves the excitement of new relationships, who is lonely and looking to expand their social circle, who wants to show up for the friends they have, who is slowly forgetting how to talk to other people in the age social distancing, or who has undergone a life change and need the support only a friend can provide.
