Aktion Club

Aktion Clubs are Kiwanis-sponsored service clubs for adults with special abilities, with more than 12,000 members worldwide. Members take on leadership roles, get involved in their communities and make a difference in people’s lives.

Meetings: Every Thursday, 4 to 5pm. For more information, contact Amy at 616-644-5715 or amy.urick@gmail.com.
