What is the Unforgettable Aktion Club?

An Aktion Club is a community based service group composed of adult citizens who live with disabilities. These citizens get involved in community activities and events to give back to the community by offering service and using their talents, abilities and gifts. They also elect officers who are chosen from its club members such as president, secretary, treasurer, etc. DAKC's Aktion Club is sponsored by Kiwanis Club North, a group of leading businesses and professional people of the community. They help purchase materials and supplies and provide financial support for the Aktion Club. They can also join with the Aktion Club in community activities and events.
