The Kiwanis Club of Carrollton met on Friday, April 12, 2024, at the University of West Georgia, in the Hubbard Dining Room. Our club had the pleasure to learn about the ongoing life achievements of Margaret Miller and her continuing journey of excellence. Margaret shared highlights of her life as a young child in Carrollton - blessed with an active, loving family - to her ultimate rise to Lt. Colonel after 36 years and holding 11 ranks. Margaret's positive energy, honoring faith, and stellar achievements invigorated the room. As a fellow Kiwanian, we are fortunate to have her as our own.

President's Message

Greetings, and welcome to our Carrollton Kiwanis Club! We have been serving the Carrollton and West Georgia region through service to children of the community since 1947. We were chartered with sponsorship from the Newnan Kiwanis Club, and have donated thousands of dollars and volunteer hours to our community over the decades. We host sponsored projects in an effort to return our proceeds back to efforts that help children live, develop, and grow in a safe and nurturing community. Please join us at one of our weekly Friday lunch meetings to hear about new and noteworthy things affecting our community, and how you can join us in helping the youth of our community.

Thanks, 

Paul McDaniel
