The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the Christain County C-E-O, or “Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities” facilitator, as well as 9 Christian County seniors enrolled in the program, during their weekly meeting Tuesday at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

Students speaking at the Kiwanis Club meeting included Averi Stephens, Summer Brandis, Alyson Williams, Daniel Sloan, Evan Morgan, Averi Noreuil, and Emma Pennock, all from Taylorville High School; Colin Hardin from Edinburg, and Kylie Hendrickson from Pana High School.
