I stopped by my mom’s house on the way home from work recently, and she ushered me into the living room to show me the design she was working on for the IntSam 5K T-shirt this year. A pretty stoic woman from the Greatest Generation, my mom was perceptibly proud of her work, and I’m proud to say that her design has made it to the round of finalists (without my thumbs on the scale!).
Would you please take a moment to let us know which design you like best for the IntSam 5K T-shirt this year? We have one entry from eight communities in which we work (that’s right, my mom is representing the entire United States of America!).
