Proof again that the Carrollton Kiwanis Club is the best civic club in Georgia:  Like the three Magi following the North Star, Governor of the Georgia District, George Elkins; Governor-Elect, Byron Millican; and International (!) Vice-President-Designate, Katrina Baranko, journeyed to Carrollton to receive the blessing of Richard Dixon, Past-Governor of the Georgia District.  Richard presented Katrina with a bottle of fine wine from the wine collection of a great Kiwanian, the late Colonel Frank Jones.
 
Timothy Vanjohnson, Jr. and Nigel Greene joined us to hear Katrina's inspiring presentation and also meet George and Byron.  Timothy is President of the Circle K and a UWG senior; Nigel is Past-President of Circle K and a senior graduating in Summer, 2022.
  It was a rousing, grand meeting, ably led by our President, the Honorable Clint Backstrom.

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
