Our club had the pleasure of hosting Marie and Patrick Yuran to learn about the impactful Marie Yuran Endowment for Cancer Care. Mrs. Yuran is a leader and proactive advocate in the field of special needs education. Mr. Yuran serves as the Head of School for Oak Mountain Academy. The program featured courageous and uplifting thoughts of holding on and letting go, and Mrs. Yuran's story was a compelling one of love, life, and loss - revealing lessons learned in a sea of unknowns. Mrs. Yuran is thriving, and it was a joy to experience the inspiration behind the endowment at Tanner Health in her name.

Police Chief Joel RichardsCarrollton Police Chief Joel Richards spoke to the Carrollton Kiwanis Club on January 31, 2025 in UWG's Hubbard Dining room. He spoke of the danger of Fentanyl, a synthetic manmade drug approved by the FDA for use as a pain reliver and anesthetic. It is about 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 percent more potent than heroin. Governor Kemp signed Austin's Law into law in April 2024. Austin's Law, named after Austin Waters, who died at the age of 30 after taking what he thought was a Xanax pill that he purchased off the street. Austin's Law will make it possible to arrest and convict on aggravated involuntary manslaughter charges for cause of death for manufacturing or distributing a substance containing fentanyl; knowledge is not required.

Reminder from Jenny Ingram and Clint Backstrom: If you still wish to donate to the food gift card project, please let us know if you want an amount added to you bill or give money to Clint or myself by this Friday. Total collected to date is $860. We are collecting donations to purchase food gift cards (Subway, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's etc.) to be given to local high school students with food insecurities during the holiday breaks from school. Our club has given over $1K in gift cards in prior years. Clint Backstrom and Jenny Ingram are accepting cash donations, you can have an amount added to your quarterly dues bill or bring actual small denomination food gift cards. We have partnered with Chick-fil-a for several years to stretch our member donations. We will need to purchase the gift cards in time to be delivered to the schools in December. .

Responsibilities include financial claims and garnishments, county ordinances, bench trials, warrant and first appearance hearings, bond settings, landlord/tenant challenges, and more.

Okefenokee SwampYou all are probably aware of the pending danger to the Okefenokee swamp posed by a mining operation out of Alabama that is mining titanium oxide at a site very near the swamp. If the mining operation is allowed to expand it could cause irreparable damage to the swamp and it’s ecosystem. There are many groups in the state of Georgia and even outside our borders that are trying to stop this ecological catastrophe. The Georgia River Network is one of those groups. They have put together a website that explains the importance of protecting the swamp and what we can do as individuals to express our concerns. Would it be possible to send this link out to club members thru Clubrunner? I know we have several members who have interest in pursuing this effort. Thanks, Lacey |

Bring Guests to Kiwanis![]() We need a paradigm change, where in addition to just remembering to show-up for the Friday Kiwanis Meetings, we need leaders who will step-up the game and invite guests. We all need to get behind and support the energizer bunny and Membership Chair Shane Davis. Statistics and common sense prove that Kiwanis Clubs who actively and regularly invite guests - will grow in numbers. If two leaders at a time will invite prospective members each week, then the club secretary is able to report on the monthly report that we are participating on the Kiwanis Two-For-Two program, (that earns us "Brownie" points toward "Distinguished" status.) and, no big surprise, more members will join. Just remembering to "show-up" is only the first step. Please invite friends ! If your guest is a "prospective member", the the Club pays for the lunch . And for the absent minded professor types - remember that the meeting on Friday, March 29, 2024 is a breakfast at 7:30 AM and there will be no lunch meeting. For retirees, be amazed that 7:30 occur two times per day ? ![]() Georgia Kiwanis Lieutenant Governor Division 12 (770) 328-3168 neil_weathington@bellsouth.net .

Matthew Collins - The Shroud of TurinPhoto: Paul McDaniel and Matthew Collins, Shroud Presenter Matthew Collins, from Newnan Georgia, is a Shroud Presenter. When He speaks to groups, he brings a life size (14 ft 5 in x 3 ft 7 in) replica of the Shroud of Turin, and a life size bronze covered fiberglass sculpture of the body of the man based on the three-dimension image from the Shroud. The Shroud of Turin is currently owned by the Pope and has been housed since 1578 A.D. in The Cathedral of St. John in Turin, Italy. Circumstantial evidence certainly leads to the conclusion that the linen is the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. As to how the linen received the image remains a great mystery. Matthew Collins writes a blog and provides information on the Third Day website . Shane Davis , Matthew Collins, and Linda Robles hold the copy of the Shroud for display: . . |

List of Things to Do :1) Please add to your next agenda for your Board of Officers and Directors, and approve - the Division 12 Agreement. Financing the Governor's Rally and some Division expenses are done through the coordination of clubs as goals spelled out in the agreement. This is just a target. In reality, many clubs already maintain a budget line-item each year that might, or might not, resemble the $ 3.00 per member contribution called for in the agreement. 'Tis the Season of approving budgets. Remember that Article IV, Section 4 states: "The Council shall have no authority over the operation of any club in the Division." Club Secretaries should report to Lt. Governor that the agreement has been approved. Thank you! 2) Schedule installation of Officers and Directors. It will be my honor to visit your club and perform the installations. Please contact Neil Weathington (e-mail) or telephone (770) 328-3168 to schedule September or early October meeting dates. Thank you ! |

Battling Food Insecurity
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 |

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.

Thank you for your understanding.

Herald's Report November 19![]() Let the visitor beware -
Guests November 19, 2021 Bob Uglum - esteemed member of the Golden K Kiwanis Club, visited to hear an excellent program by the Honorable Mayor, Betty Cason. Bob also shared some thoughts about our club's helping with the famous Pancake Breakfast this coming February (Wow: Bob said "only ten weeks ahead?"). David Lambert - Melanie Lambert arrived with husband David. Melanie and David were married by Betty Cason seventeen years ago when Betty served as Probate Court Judge. It's always a joy to have the honeymoon couple sharing lunch with us. Joe and Judy Dixon - Richard Dixon invited brother Joe and his wife Judy Wilson Dixon. A successful businessman, Joe was founder and owner of Joe's Tools. A manly man, Joe ran with the high school relay team (including our own Jim Carter) that set a record in Georgia. Judy, retired from West Georgia Tech, after teaching English as a Second Language. She and Betty Cason have been lifelong friends. Joe and Judy have two daughters and two grand-daughters. Our meeting was informative and full of the spirit of camaraderie and mutual affection characteristic of our club. There was also the heavy weight of sorrow as we opened our hearts to the tragic news of past-President Angie McDaniel's father dying in a car accident. Paul and Angie are beloved members of the club. We will keep them sheltered in our hearts and pray for them and the family - and for Angie's mother as she slowly recovers in the hospital. Fred

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. ![]() Taya 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 . |

All our "exes" live in Texas![]() >>> 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. _ |

Thanks from Georgia CarterI was humbled and honored to receive the Henry Heinz medallion at the District Convention, but even more so because it was awarded by my own club. It is my honor to serve our club at the District level, as I have done for a number of years, as chair of the District Showcase and as a trustee on the District Foundation Board. 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. Best regards to you all-Georgia Georgia Carter _

Georgia has just completed her three year term as Trustee in the Georgia District Kiwanis Foundation, and has been selected to enter rotation as President-Elect of the Foundation.

Their secret: virtually all employees are volunteers, including community folks who are not Kiwanians, because the group does so much good for children in the area. Fred & Anne _

Words to Honor Kyle MarreroKnowing Dr. Marrero, Leader of the Wolf Pack, would be here to deliver a presentation, I was moved by the Muse to write some words to honor the occasion:
In a loincloth or a kilt,
or in a cap and gown,
He's the life of the party,
the Toast of the Town !
Need scholarship money ?
Call on Marrero.
For he just loves
asking for and getting that dinero.
Kyle's playful and naughty,
a cure for our chagrin.
He can surely charm an audience,
with his cheshire cat grin.
He's a singer on stage,
Not just in the shower.
Also known to shatter glass
with his operatic power.
Jane says Kyle's perfect
in his boyish, imperfect way.
She's loved him since he proposed,
dressed as a cop, sing YMCA.
But I say Kyle's not perfect
He's committed one great sin.
He didn't join our Kiwanis Club
When we invited him in.
Still, he's here with us now.
Let's forgive him and with open arms,
Welcome him to move and inspire us,
With his message and his charm.
Go West ! Go Wolves !
Dr. Fred Richards

Friday Meeting at the UWG Football StadiumSo you arrive at the Country Club and notice that there are not many cars in the parking lot. You walk into the room where the Kiwanis Club meets - but it is empty and dark. You double check your calendar - yes - it's Friday. You hopefully eliminate the rapture and the possibility that you're left behind [forever] ?
![]() Then you realize,
They are all at the UWG Stadium.
Friday's program will emphasize the Kiwanis Youth Football Bowl and its Kick-off.
Mitch Gray will the the special speaker.
We'll see you at the Pressbox.

Remembering Dave DuganRemembering Dave Dugan (1929-2016)
![]() A former Athletic Director at the University of West Georgia (1990-1994), he had been the first person the Georgia to receive a doctorate in recreation and parks management.
One memorable program when he was Kiwanis President was that arranged by Allen Trapp.
A number of Brazilian young people who were descendants of Confederate exiles visited the club. In addition to Kiwanis Bowl, the club sponsored a car show when Dave was President.
Jack Bennet’s idea of distributing books to at-risk children became a state-wide priority and “Dr. Seuss Reading Day” began its evolution. The elimination of iodine deficiency disease became a new priority. The Carrollton Club co-sponsored a new club in Villa Rica.
Dave Dugan subsequently was inducted into the Georgia Power Hall of Fame for his lifetime of contributions to recreation. In 2004, the Carrollton Club named him a Hixson Fellow.

Kiwanis KandidatesWhile Kiwanis is not a political organization and we do not endorse candidates, it is important to know when Kiwanians are running for office.
Homebuilder becomes second candidate for District 5 seat Arthia Nixon / Times-Georgian / February 20
Williams becomes the second candidate to announce for the seat currently occupied by Kevin Jackson, who said he will not be seeking re-election. Earlier this month, Whitesburg cattle farmer and general contractor Jeffery Lee Powers said he is running for the position. Williams said he would like to see the district balance its rural and incorporated areas. He said he is also concerned about the lack of consistent tech services such as high-speed Internet, which many students and business people in the area rely on. Properly marking the “potentially dangerous country” roads is something he’d also like to see done in the area.

Remembering Bobby Holmes (1920 - 2014 )![]() Bobby Holmes was Kiwanis President during 1967. Programs that year included a conversation with Sen. Herman Talmadge in Washington via telephone, a film about the then-new Atlanta Falcons, and a talk by West Georgia College President James Boyd on ways academic extension promoted economic growth. The big fund-raiser that year was Radio Day which brought in $1,700 through ad sales. Sponsoring a Teen Club was the main service activity. The Club also donated $200 toward pre-Bowl midget football, supported Dairy Day and the Fat Stock Show, and collected old magazines for the Peace Corps to distribute. The Club made Sen. Lamar Plunkett an honorary member. Those small steps nearly a half-century ago helped to build the Carrollton Kiwanis Club into what it is today. |
