WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI – Seven years ago, Mike Becker retired as a clinical care specialist in Mott Children’s Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). He joined the Kiwanis Club of Tecumseh and later found that members of Kiwanis groups made quilts for the babies and families in the NICU units to provide them warmth and comfort, as well as a keepsake for when they go home.
