These 13 Washington Kiwanians - club members, spouses, and a widow - attended the 6th Division Rally at the Thomson Depot last night, March 19. They included, left to right, Nancy and Wayne Madden, Kerry and Nancy McAvoy, Bob Simmons, Sherry Hudson, Debra Guin, Don and Lillie Crowe, William Johnson, Steve and Eleanor Blackmon, and Margaret Norris.
The purpose of the rally, of course, was to provide for a visit by Georgia District Governor Nancy Walden, left, and her husband, Pat Pelley, center, as they greet Margaret Norris, widow of last year's district governor, Carlton Norris. Margaret was later recognized by Governor Nancy with the Kiwanis Leadership Award for her outstanding support of late husband Governor Carlton and his remarkable tenure as Governor 2008-2009.
For several minutes before dinner, the five club presidents present reported on their clubs' activities thus far this year. All of them were upbeat in their reports concerning recruiting and projects, our Sherry particularly so. Above are Washington's Vice President Lillie Crowe, left, director of Bartram Trail Regional Library receiving Kiwanis Leadership Award from Georgia District Governor Nancy Walden. She is a member of the Newnan Kiwanis club and retired superintendent of Coweta County schools.
Governor Nancy presented an interesting, informative, and inspiring report on the district's goals and activities thus far this year.
The banquet dinner was catered by "Miss Jane's" of Warrenton, Georgia. The meal included roast beef, rice and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls, and cups of strawberry trifle.
