b'Service to OthersThe Kiwanis Club of Hanson Foundation has sponsored the Hanson Aktion Club at NEV since Kiwanis International approved the clubs charter in December 2014. The Kiwanis Family of clubs and programs includes students in pre-elementary through college, as well as adults (18+) living with disabilities. Because of the early and ongoing support of NEV administrators and staff at all levels, especially the NEV club advisor, Gerry Lozeaumembers have exhibited the best traitsand Chuck N. of caring, community service-minded adults. It has been a pleasure to assist them as they plan and execute several ongoing activities to finance their many projects and donations which benefit veterans, seniors, children, and local community agencies. They elect club officers, participate in two monthly meetings, and spend hours of service between meetings, distinguishing themselves and their club as the largest and most accomplished in the NE & Bermuda District of Kiwanis.Members do this because they enjoy helping others, much as they like being a part of something special with like-minded residents and day program participants. NEV is an agency and community that encourages and promotes learning and growth consistent with the Kiwanis goal of developing initiative and leadership skills in service to others. That is happening as Aktion Club members appreciate each other as friends belonging to a focused and enjoyable club with a primary goal of connecting with, and helping, others.Gerry L ozeauGerry Lozeau, Kiwanis Club of Hanson 16'
