Knowing 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 !

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.

Remembering Dave Dugan (1929-2016)
 Dave Dugan served as President of the Carrollton Kiwanis Club during the 1997-1998 term. He was the only past president to have remained a part of the club when his son, Mike, became club President in 2012.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.

While 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.
