We've collected around $900 towards the food gift cards for the benefit of Central and Carrollton High Schools. We'll continue to collect through December 2nd. If members are unable to attend the next meeting and give cash, they can be billed (please let us know an amount) or use the club venmo account. Contact Clint cbackstr@westga.edu or Jenny jingram@westga.edu Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away. We would like to invite Kiwanians to think ahead to the upcoming Christmas break for our Carroll County and City Schools. Some of you may know that our county has a very high number of families without the funds to provide enough food for their families. When school is in session, many families are blessed to know their children will have enough healthy food for breakfast & lunch thanks to the free and reduced lunch programs. However, when longer breaks occur families often do not have the means to provide healthy meals or meals at all.
Kiwanis wants to be part of the solution as we’ve done for the last several years. We are asking for donations of $10 gift cards or cash that will be turned into gift cards to local fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Taco Bell, Chick-Fil-A and other such restaurants. We can also add an amount to your quarterly bill if you don’t have cash with you or will miss the meeting on Friday. These donations will then be disbursed to students via their guidance counselor’s office. We will be sponsoring Central & Carrollton High Schools in December.
Please donate all funds, gift cards or pledges to Clint Backstrom or Jenny Ingram no later than December 2nd. Contact info is below if you have any questions.
Thank you all for your giving hearts! Clint & Jenny |

October 1: Begin AND end your day in Kiwanis Service !!!Good Morning Kiwanians I hope all is well with everyone ! It looks like Rain is not going to be as big an issue for us as initially thought SO it’s a Kiwanis Call to Serve this weekend, October 1st. Like United Community Bank in the banking industry…the Carrollton Kiwanis Club is a club that service built. For 75 years now, we are know in the community as a club that gets things done. Well we have to raise money to support the programs we are involved with and we have 2 opportunities this weekend to show our community what a great club we have. We have our Bob Reeves Memorial 5k Race, Saturday morning. There will be 257 middle school runners for our 3k and over 100 runners for the 5k.  And then there is Homecoming that evening for our 5th ranked University of West Georgia Wolves. I know we are ALL busy and tired BUT we need your help. I know it’s a struggle to get up early or stay up late but I also know once we get there we have FUN and enjoy our time of service. If you can help with the race we need you there by 6:30 at Hobbs Farm on Rome Street. If you need to sleep in a little Saturday morning we could use you at 4:00 for the concessions at UWG. The concession stand is a lot easier than in times past. The more Kiwanians we have the more FUN we have.There are not too many times we ask you to serve since we no longer have the Kiwanis Bowl BUT this weekend is a major day of Service. Let us know if we can count on you for the race or the concessions or both. Thanks for your time…you are making a difference in our community. Mark  |

it, and it helps keep our family going.” She cited the importance of the retreats for families who have lost a child to cancer. “No one knows what it like until they go through it, so the retreats are a place where parents and family members can share their grief, learn how to cope, and help each other,” Kiki McDaniel explained. When Chase was undergoing treatments and spending two months in the hospital fighting cancer, there were many visits from an array of people, especially from Carrollton. “This town is a very, very special place,” she said. As an example of the community’s giving spirit, McDaniel cited the recent nonprofit “Sneaker Ball” held last week at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta which raised approximately $150,000 for the foundation that funds the purchase of sneakers and the cost of the family retreats. The event featured live music, dinner and a silent auction of sports memorabilia and featured guests including Freddie the Falcon and Atlanta Falcons’ cheerleaders. “We had an anonymous donor just recently give us a check for $5,000 that will pay for 10 families to attend one of our retreats where they can find comfort, peace, understanding, and hope,” she said. Following the completion of her remarks, McDaniel was presented a contribution of $600 from Kiwanis President Dale Williams to help continue Chase’s legacy.

Club DuesDue to the rising cost of food and the increased cost of catered meals, the board of officers and directors has been forced to increase the per-meal calculation to $ 16.00 per meal in the next quarter billing. Thank you for your understanding. A few members are enjoying the "full membership" billing status; continuation at the current price is not sustainable and options are currently under board study for a full membership that is sustainable and provides advantages for members. To quote Milton Friedman, "there is no free lunch." . |

Partners Advancing Student SuccessFebruary 25, 2022 Our Club was inspired by an uplifting program on PASS (Partners Advancing Student Success) presented by Hannah Langley Yates and Jennifer Cheely. As if filled by the spirit, members broke out in spontaneous applause and an occasional "Amen." I felt I was at a revival and President Dale Williams or someone would be moved to pass the plate and take up an offering for PASS. It was a great meeting, one that could only happen in the best civic club in Georgia!  Photo: Jennifer Cheely , Dale Williams, and Hannah Yates .

Kiwanis Shut-insGood News!  A good report on Bob Myers. When he went in for coronary catheterization, he was upgraded to open heart surgery - after one artery showed 95 percent blockage and another artery showed 100 percent blockage. Now he is recovering and is able to walk around the house and talk on the telephone. He is not allowed to ride in the front seat of any car with airbags and will cautiously miss the next few Kiwanis in-person meetings to avoid any infectious danger.All-in-all a good report.  Suart Yahm has been in improved condition and has been able to escape the bounds of Laurel Glen . He has been seen dining out at The Venue on Cedar while celebrating Camille's birthday (December 28). Thanks to Fred and Anne Richards for this update report on Stuart and Camille. Perhaps we need to purchase a chauffer's hat for Anne in appreciation for the driving service.. .

Once in a Lifetime ConcertHello Everyone:  On November 11, 2021 I am putting on a "once in a lifetime" concert to benefit the WALLACE BUICE THEATRE SCHOLARSHIP, that is given to one high school senior each year who has decided to pursue their collegiate career in the Fine Arts. I have an abundance of star talent coming to perform at the Carroll County Performing Arts Center. We will have 5 of the most talented Atlanta performers, 5 Broadway performers, and will be featuring the most sought after Mezzo-Soprano in the opera world, Jamie Barton.  We also have our 2019 recipient Anna Lowry (NYU-TISH), 2021 recipientTaya Taylor (Medical Music Therapy), and Carrolltonian Blair Lipham (Vanderbilt Vocal Performance) performing as well. Terry Lowry will be Musical Directing and leading the 12-piece orchestra that will be playing for our performers (including myself - coming out of retirement). I would appreciate you forwarding this to any "arts lover" that you might know, and I hope that each of you and your spouses, family and friends will want to attend as well. I am also looking for someone to sponsor the program for a 100% tax deduction (if you might know anyone interested). Their name or business will be displayed above the title of the show and will be seen by thousands all over GA, including our social media platforms (10,000 hits), posters around Carrollton and Atlanta, name on our 8x8 step and repeat banner, and VIP tickets to the event. This is going to be an amazing night for our community and for our local high school students. Below is a link to the tickets, and I have attached our marketing poster. https://yourfavorites.bpt.me/ Thank you all, Taylor Buice Wallace Buice Theatre Company, INC (non-profit) BUICEntennial Productions, LLC 917-428-5916 . |
