Letter to the Editor

Thank you for all you do to promote the Hardin County Red Cross Learn To Swim program.

Our classes were full this year.  We even had 2 Level 1 (Beginner) Classes because of the requests/registrations and for the first time in quite a while we had a very advanced class of Level 5.

Without your help to get the word out to the public each year this program would not reach so many students.

My sincere appreciation and thanks!!!
