Fleece tie blankets for children ...

Many of the St. Patrick Church youth in Waukon came together for a community service project to benefit Veterans Memorial Hospital. Twenty-five students worked in small groups to make these fleece tie blankets. Some of these youth, pictured here, presented the blankets to hospital surgery staff members Tara Reisinger, RN and Julie Viet, RN, both pictured at far right. These blankets will be given to any children undergoing surgery in the near future at Veterans Memorial Hospital. Submitted photo.
