Members of the Tilsit 4-H Club made and delivered 28 weighted blankets and 33 lap pads to a local school district and to the Easter Seals office at Southeast Missouri State University to help autistic children in our area. Sixteen youth members and eleven adult volunteers logged over 150 work hours to complete this annual project. This project was supported by the Missouri 4-H Foundation with funds from Crader Distributing Co and Stihldealers.com
