Don't forget to bring your swim diaper donation to our Cultivate gathering June 2nd to support Step Outside as they provide swim lessons for the community because of Thomas.
In recognition of May 15th being International Water Safety Day, we want to introduce you to Thomas.
Thomas was a very inquisitive, lovable, and active 2-year-old boy who loved the outdoors and all things country. On July 3rd, 2011, Thomas unexpectedly died due to drowning.
As you go throughout this May 15th, we ask that you take a minute to teach your family and friends about water safety and consider supporting "Because of Thomas".
Visit step-outside.org to learn more.
And yes, it's been nearly 15 years later and I still got a bit emotional preparing this post.
