Hospital Activities Chair Wilma Shackelford lead a merry band of Service League blanket makers through 4 workshops making a total of 102 hand-tied, two-ply fleece blankets. Young pediatric rehab patients are guaranteed to feel welcome and comfortable during their time at Vidant Medical Center with one of these.

Congrats to Wilma and all the blanket makers! Job well done!

Our thanks to everyone who donated time, supplies and money to make this happen.

And special thanks to Susan Thornton for creating Service League labels for the blankets, Connie Bond for sewing the labels to the blankets and Annelle West for her endless help with the project.
