Meet the Aktion Club!


Let me introduce you to some great people - the members of the Aktion Club! Aktion Club was created about five years ago as a service organization for a special group of Columbia residents. They have been active City of Columbia volunteers by participating several years in Cleanup Columbia. You might also see their lovely Adopt-A-Spot beautification bed at the corner of Paris & Hinkson, just east of College Avenue.

Aktion Club members are some of the friendliest people I know! They nearly always remember my name and have lots of enthusiasm. John Pierce, past president of the club and current vice president, always asks how Mayor Hindman is doing and keeps up with City Council meetings by watching the Columbia channel.

The Aktion Club is a great part of the fabric of our community. I'm glad to know them and so appreciate their service to our city.
