Carrie Dyer Woman's Club Gives $6,000 Donation to Acworth Police

Release, Acworth Police:

On Oct. 15, 2015 at the Acworth City Council meeting, The Carrie Dyer Woman’s Club presented the Acworth Police Department with a check for $6,000.

The Carrie Dyer Woman’s Club was organized in 1898 and is the second oldest woman’s organization in Georgia. This was the first woman’s club in Cobb County.

The club usually makes donations to multiple organizations in the community every year, this year they chose to give one large donation to public safety. This year, they chose to donate to the Acworth Police Department, which they call “The best police department in the state.”

With the donated funds, the Acworth Police Department has decided to invest in uniforms for the members of the Honor Guard. This will be the most honoring way to use the funds as the Honor Guard participates in funerals, Veterans Day ceremonies and many other special events; they will forever be a reminded of the Carrie Dyer Ladies.

Thank you to the Carrie Dyer Woman’s Club of Acworth: Helen Free, Louise Chastain, Lorraine Heilbling, Nell Baldwin, Willie Mae Johnson, Joanne Booth and Yvonne Parker.
