Dr. Seuss' Birthday - Read on Tuesday, March 2.
 
Theodor Seuss Geisel's birthday is March 2, 1904.   The Carrollton Kiwanis Club will visit elementary schools and present books to selected children.   We are adjusting "the read" this year for social distancing and Covid-19.  Many members of the Kiwanis Club will be delivering books to the schools, but not reading in small groups, as has been the custom.  Volunteers should pick up books from Sit'n Sleep in Carrollton.  Contact Paul McDaniel if you have any questions.

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 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.

Thanks, 

Clint Backstrom
