Taylorville Kiwanis Hear About Kiwanis Aktion Clubs at Weekly Meeting

The Kiwanis District coordinator for Kiwanis Aktion Clubs, Glenn Scott from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Taylorville Kiwanis Club Tuesday at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.
Kiwanis Aktion Clubs are for those with disabilities.  Scott said the first Aktion Club was formed in Florida in 1987.

Scott told Taylorville Kiwanis member that Aktion Clubs can do local projects just like regular Kiwanis Clubs, enabling Aktion Club members to serve and improve their communities.
He added there are anywhere from 15 to 40 members in Kiwanis Aktion Clubs, with the average number being around 20.
Scott's home club sponsors a Kiwanis Aktion Club in Glen Ellyn.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club held their monthly board meeting before the Tuesday program, and voted to install 2 new concrete pads, each eleven-feet by 24-feet, for future additional pavilions at Kiwanis Park.  The board also learned from the club's Kiwanis Park committee, that additional signs are being ordered, and the existing sign at the entrance to the park had been refurbished.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
