MONTICELLO — The Aktion Club of  Sullivan County was kept busy at their May meeting. First, they warmly welcomed two new members.   Woodridge Kiwanis Member/Aktion Club Advisor Sue Kasofsy installed Latisha Moore and Nathan Birenhaum.  They were delighted to join the club since they both like to be around people and help out in the community. They are anxious to participate in all the events the club gets involved in.   

After the installation ceremony, the Aktion Club members got busy displaying the items they have collected and will be donating to the Sullivan County SPCA located in Rock Hill. They will be delivering dog and cat food, cat litter, toys for the animals, cleaning products as well as cash donations.

The Aktion Club is a service leadership group comprised  of adults with various degrees of developmental disabilities who are affiliated with Arc Greater Hudson Valley,  New Hope Community and The Center for Discovery. It is sponsored by the Kiwanis Clubs of Monticello and Woodridge. Its mission is to provide these individuals with the opportunity to develop leadership skills and self-esteem while participating in events and serving the community.
