As you can see if you click on the image below, the Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee is asking help in making blankets for chemotherapy patients at local hospitals.

Clarenda Johnson (847-203-2382) and Eileen Marhoefer (815-455-4717) are heading up the project.

Commitments are sought by July 1st with the hope that blankets will be handed in by September 15th.
