Along with many other people, our 4 angels were taken during what was to be a fun swimming trip in the Meramec River. Known as one of the most dangerous rivers in the area, we want to bring awareness. We have been approached to start a petition to stop swimming in the Meramec river. Our organization has seen enough! We will be working with local authorities in Eureka and local media to bring this to forefront of the community's mind.

The groundswell of support for this cause confirms that our community recognizes the urgent necessity of addressing safety on the Meramec River. This momentum will be instrumental as we prepare to present these concerns to local authorities.
