All our "exes" live in Texas Congratulations to Dr. Amber Smallwood, who has accepted a new position and will be moving to Texas. As Col. Frank Jones was famous for saying, "We're going to miss you !">>> snip, snip, snip >>> copied from David Jenks; UWG I write today regarding a transition in the College of Social Sciences Dean’s Office. Interim Dean Dr. Amber Smallwood has accepted an appointment as Assistant Vice Provost at the University of Texas-Arlington effective May 15, 2020. Amber has long been a member of the West Georgia family from her days as a child attending pre-K through her many roles as a faculty member and administrator. She has served the university in meaningful ways through the years, including recently in interim roles as Chair of the Department of Sociology and Dean of the College of Social Sciences. Amber also served a vital leadership role in helping West Georgia earn its national classification for community engagement from the Carnegie Foundation, becoming only one of 359 institutions to earn such a distinction. Indeed, Amber’s professional commitment to community-engaged service will remain as a continuing legacy at West Georgia. I thank her on behalf of the university, the faculty, and the many students she has guided through a transformational educational experience. Amber, we wish you well. >>> snip >>> snip >>> Amber - Thank you for your contributions to the Carrollton Kiwanis Club !

Delivering hot lunches to needy familiesThis is not a Kiwanis project, but it's right down our alley. Every year, a combined community effort has been made to prepare hot Turkey meals and deliver to needy families on Thanksgiving. Through a combination of donated food from various sources, Brad Cole Construction, Little Hawaiian and the Venue on Cedar, and an army of community volunteers, needy families identified through school counselors, hundreds of plates are delivered on Thanksgiving Day. Forgive me if I omitted any of the guilty parties.  Here's a few photos that I snapped on Thanksgiving morning 2016. Back then, volunteers assembled at the Tyus Road home of David and Andrea Walker . (David is associated with Brad Cole Construction.) Left: Derick Newton and ~ one+ year old Keziah. Center: The first year that Dr. and Mrs. Lok (UWG College of Science and Mathematics) helped in the assembly line, they improvised with solo cups to dip mashed potatoes. In 2017, they came prepared with ice cream scoops. Right: In 2016, Ray Fulford pulled hot turkey meat from the bones. This year, Tano is donating the use of the Venue on Cedar for food preparation and assembly on Thanksgiving morning. If you are interested in helping, be at the Venue of Cedar at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving morning. If you are interested in delivery, arrive after 9:00 AM. You will be provided with a list for delivery and directions. _ |

As I am now in the rotation as president elect of the Foundation Board, it will continue to be my honor to serve and represent our amazing club at the District level. I will do my utmost to fulfill the trust which has been placed in me and I hope I will make you all proud. From the bottom of my heart I thank you and appreciate you.
