Among his notable accomplishments:  Carlos served as Concession Manager for the Kiwanis Youth Football Bowl.  He converted his garage at home into the concession warehouse for one month.  He bought a new freezer for his house, but Kiwanis Bowl frozen goods were its first contents.  He helped organize the Kiwanis Concession Stand in the new UWG Stadium.  The highlight of his year was the birth of his son Damian.  Carlos has demonstrated the exemplary ability to prioritize family, work, and Kiwanis, and does an excellent job with all committements.  Congratulations Carlos - a much deserved honor - Kiwanian of the Year .
