The Taylorville Kiwanis Club met in regular session this past Tuesday in the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Auditorium. Andrew Nelson was the club’s guest speaker on Tuesday. Nelson is currently the Christian County Jail Administrator and a retired New York Police Department Sargent and the city wide Patrol Supervisor on 9-11.
