[ Note from Neil - even though I finished in the last car before the caboose, I was the first member of our club to cross the finish line. Confidential - don't tell
my friend and former running back Derick Newton that I'm claiming to be the "faster pastor". Sheriff Langley - this would have been your year again ! Thanks Clint and Craig for not passing me .]

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 Zoom or 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.
