Roger Kaiser
Roger Kaiser spoke to the Carrollton  Kiwanis Club on Friday, October 16. 2020 at Carrollton's Courtyard Marriott.    He told of his valuable life experiences:  growing up in Indiana, basketball and baseball at Georgia Tech, coaching at West Georgia College and Life University, and now athletic director at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy in Marietta, Georgia.
 
There has been some interest from club members in purchasing the biography of Roger Kaiser.  Lately and unfortunately,  proceeds from books purchased through Amazon have bypassed the Kaisers.   Members wishing to purchase the book through a coordinated effort through the Carrollton Kiwanis Club may do so by first sending an "order" e-mail to neil_weathington@bellsouth.net (we will check availability) and on or before the in-person meeting on Friday, October 30, give Neil a check for $ 25.00 payable to "The Alexis Kaiser Foundation".  Roger will autograph your copy.  I will pick up books and deliver in November.  Books may be also acquired directly from the Kaisers:  Order book.

Stuart Yahm
  Stuart Yahm discharged from the Dixie Street Bed and Breakfast on Saturday (10-17-2020) and now is a resident at Carrollton Manor Nursing and Rehab.  He is no longer easily available by telephone, and the only way to visit would be for one person at a time to accompany Camille (home 770-838-5826) on one of the two days per week that she is allowed to visit.  For now, Stuart is in a private room.
 
Cards and correspondence may be sent to:
 Stuart Yahm
Carrollton Manor Room 414
2455 Oak Grove Church Rd
Carrollton GA  30117
 
Now would be a good time to send Stuart a card.

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
