Aktion Club
Aktion Club is a service group for people with disabilities.

We partner with many local organizations to give back to our Wood County Community such as:
- Helping at the Senior Center
- Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast
- Holiday gift giving
- And MUCH more!
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.
