Aktion Club Week, March 5-9, recognizes people of all abilities who join to help their community. Aktion Club – a Kiwanis International program – provides an opportunity for members to develop initiative and leadership skills through service.
The staff of Building Blocks Ministries celebrated the members of the Building Blocks Community Aktion Club at the weekly Tuesday meeting, with cupcakes for everyone. Members of Kiwanis Club of Clermont and Kiwanis Club of South Lake, joined the celebration virtually.
“In south Lake we believe it’s important to give adults of all abilities the opportunity to give back to their community, to participate in service and to have time together in an atmosphere that allows fellowship and fun,” said Teresa Renfroe, Aktion Club advisor.
“Our club has 9 members, we meet weekly to identify service projects, said Ms. Teresa. Each member contributes to our club and to our service projects.”
The club just kicked off its annual “Diaper Drive” beginning Monday, March 2, 2021 running through May 4, 2021. The club set a goal to collect 3,000 diapers. All diapers will be given to the Lake County Healthy Families, Tavares and distributed to Lake County Moms. Anyone who wishes to help the club reach its goal may drop off baby diapers of all sizes to our office at 548 S. Highway 27, Suite C., Minneola, FL.
The Aktion Club program began in 1987. Today, more than 500 clubs further the Kiwanis International mission of serving the children of the world.
