SIDNEY — The Sidney Kiwanis Club recently hosted a meeting of the Kiwanis Ohio Division 3 Council at the Moose Lodge here.

Lt. Governor Brad Kunze, of Bellefontaine, opened the meeting with a roll call of the clubs in attendance: Bellefontaine, New Madison, Piqua, Sidney and Troy. Representatives from Covington and Greenville were unable to attend.

The highlight of the meeting was the presentation of an Amtryke to Roz Abbott, 6, of Sidney. Amtrykes are personally designed for individuals who are unable to operate a traditional bicycle.
