Kiwanis 5K 2020 - in Memory of Bob Reeves
The Bob Reeves Race was a success !
 
Thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers, and runners.   
 
 
 
 
Craig Williard volunteered for the caboose spot to mark the end of the race,  and that might  not  (HA!) have been one of the factors that allowed Sheriff Terry Langley to be the fastest Kiwanian in the race. That, and the Young Kiwanians were all volunteering and not running.
Way to go Sheriff.   
Common Internet quote:  "If you see me running this fast, please shoot whatever is behind me !"
 
 
 
 
The race was accomplished with much effort, and was dedicated in memory of Bob Reeves.  It was good that Angela was able to come enjoy the show.
 
 
 
You humble photographer slept through the opportunity to document the workers who first arrived on the scene.  I blamed this on the lack of lighting ?
Here are the "linger-longers".  Thanks to everyone !

Guests September 18, 2020

Daniel Jackson  -  a STAR NEWS reporter, joined us to cover Tim Martin's program.  Daniel, retired from the Army, served 20 years with tours of duty taking him around the world.  He and wife, Demetric - also an Army veteran - have three children.  We always appreciate representatives of the media covering our club programs.

 
 
Mitch Backstrom  -  President-Elect Clint Backstrom invited Dad, Mitch, who is having thoughts about possibly joining our club.  Hopefully my introduction didn't dissuade him from joining!  Mitch, a UWG graduate (BA and MA) tells us he is proud of his 33 years of working for the West Georgia Tool and Die - and, of course, proud of son, Clint, as well.

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
