TAYLORVILLE — The 4-H Youth Leadership Team hosted a community service workshop last month at the Christian County Extension Office.

The 4-H Youth Leadership Team and 4-H members in the county would donate fleece material to make blankets. Youth participants would help make tie blankets. The group did recently donate them to Taylorville Memorial Foundation for distribution to patients throughout the hospital.
