The Kiwanis Club of Liberty was the first Kiwanis Club to form in North America for the 2021-2022. The Charter event will celebrate the new Kiwanis Club in Liberty. The Kiwanis Charter Celebration will Feb.3, be at the Cherokee Rose Country Club in Hinesville, Georgia, with social time at 6 p.m., dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. and the program following at 7 p.m.

Special guests and speakers will include the GA District Governor, Byron Mullican, and the Honorable, Allen Brown, Mayor of Hinesville. A special announcement will be made by club leaders regarding the new Aktion Club that it will form to support the adults with special needs in Hinesville and Liberty County. This will be the first chartered Aktion club in southeast Georgia. There are only seven active Aktion clubs currently in GA.

Aktion Club is the only service club for adults with disabilities, with more than 12,000 members worldwide. Aktion Clubs draw members from various organizations that support individuals with disabilities, as well as other community programs. A Kiwanis club, composed of like-minded, service-oriented people from the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.

Aktion Club is supported at the district level and by the Kiwanis International Office in Indianapolis, Indiana, which provides programs, literature and opportunities to relate to individuals with disabilities from countries worldwide.

The Kiwanis Club of Liberty County understands there is a serious need for support for our adult citizens with special needs. There are very few social resources or opportunities for our valued citizens.
