I would like to invite everyone to vote for Wanda Butts for CNN Heroe of the year - 20112. What a great avenue to bring aquatics in the forefront again. Water is a natural resource with many many many uses and swimming is a life skill that all should know. Please vote at CNN Heroes.com for The Josh Project in memory of Josh!!

Looking forward to hearing from Shaun Anderson tomorrow at the Soul Food for Swimming Benefit! My 12 year old son will be filming the event so I hope to have some great footage to share with everyone!

Wanda,
The help would be much appreciated. I think that this an area where we can be proactive and maybe prevent other families from having to experience a tragedy like this. Thanks for the help.

Hi Robert:
I am thrilled about your interest in starting a water safety program!! Thanks for your interest. Shaun Anderson in Norfolk would be a great contact person for you as well as John Cruzat from USA Swimming. I will contact both of them so we can get you going. Together we can make a difference and change the stats of miniority drowning and teach swimming and water safety to all. I applaud you and your efforts. All good things to you - wanda
