Here's what a retired Rear Admiral of the U.S. Coast Guard, Jim Underwood, has to say about our message:

“As an officer in the United States Coast Guard, I worked every day with men and women who were dedicated to saving lives at sea.  It wasn’t until I retired that I learned the tragic number of small children who drown each year in the safety of their own backyards.  This can be prevented through awareness and action – “Josh the Otter” is a great first step in building awareness for children and parents alike!”  Rear Admiral James W. Underwood, US Coast Guard (Retired)

We are very proud to have Rear Admiral Underwood as a supporter of our foundation and our commitment to water safety through early childhood education. With the support of the Merritt Island Breakfast Rotary Club, there will be 500 "Josh The Otter" books and other materials distributed in the Merritt Island Florida area as a start towards the ultimate goal of having every child in the district (over 7000) have the "Josh the Otter" Materials in hand.  We cannot thank enough all of the supporters we have around the world.

WONDERFUL NEWS!

Because of generous and caring sponsorship by Vergith Contracting in Henderson, Nevada the entire Clark County public school district has 1,000 copies of the book "Josh The Baby Otter" in their schools. This includes all the Las Vegas and surrounding cities in Clark County. They have also purchased and distributed 6,000 coloring books and stickers to give to every child in those classrooms to take home.  With a coloring book in hand and sticker on their shirt, every child will go home the day of reading the early childhood education book and discuss water safety with their parents.

A HUGE THANK YOU,

Dan and Patricia
