During November, in addition to making and distributing cards to local veterans, the Aktion Club of Sullivan County collected non-perishable food items from club members, agency reps and Kiwanis co-advisors and had fun decorating and filling six baskets that were distributed to families in need in the Liberty, Monticello and Fallsburg School Districts as well as to the Federation for the Homeless, United Way of Sullivan County and Sullivan County Family Court Children's Center.
The members also remembered their four legged friends and donated items to the Sullivan County SPCA in Rock Hill.
The month ended with Anthony(Tony) Radzieski being installed as a proud new member of the club by Monticello Kiwanis Past President Jane Sorensen. Tony was sponsored by Aktion Club member Betsy Kashdan.
It was a busy time, but the Aktion Club members enjoyed helping to make Thanksgiving more special and enjoyable for some families in the community and they were happy to support the SPCA, to remember and thank the veterans for their service and to welcome Tony into their Aktion Club Family.
Aktion Club, which is co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Clubs of Monticello and Woodridge, New York, is comprised of individuals with various degrees of disabilities who are affiliated with ARC the Greater Hudson Valley, New Hope Community and The Center for Discovery.
