Our group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday throughout the month from 3:45pm to 4:30pm. The 2nd Tuesday will be AKtion Club focused topics, the 4th Tuesday will be People First focused. Both groups are welcome to attend both meeting sessions. We meet in Building B on the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities campus.
