In a joint venture, Ada Kiwanis, Hardin Pioneer Aktion Club, Simon Kenton school staff and members of Harco Industries were able to make one little girl very happy as school came to a close this year.
This is an Ohio Kiwanis First Family Project that includes Aktion Club to donate a customized bike for an child with physical limitations.
The primary goal is to promote independence by providing therapeutic tricycles. With the help of Simon Kenton School staff and members of Harco Industries, the bike was presented to Mary Kraft who was thrilled to have given the opportunity for some independence.
