The Aktion Club of Sullivan County is always ready and willing to help with community service activities. During November, they collected non perishable food items from club members, agency representatives and Kiwanis Co-Advisors and had fun decorating and filling five baskets that were distributed to needy families in the county.
A talented Aktion Club member prepared and donated an assortment of beautiful crocheted items that were included in the basket of goodies.
Several members participated in the Interfaith Council Thanksgiving Dinner that was held at the Robert J. Kaiser Middle School in Monticello. They greeted the diners and distributed informational flyers. They are looking forward to continuing to reach out to the community during the holiday season by dressing like Santa's helpers and visiting Achieve Nursing and Rehab Facility in Liberty, where they will hand out gifts and bring some cheer by singing Holiday songs to the residents.
Their next fundraiser will be raffling off a beautiful handmade Christmas wreath that was made and donated by one of the agency staff members. The drawing will be at their meeting on Dec. 20.
The club, which is co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Clubs of Monticello and Woodridge, New York, is comprised of individuals affiliated with SullivanARC, New Hope Community and Center for Discovery.
