The Statesboro Kiwanis Club’s Earl Cashon was named Kiwanian of the Year during the organization’s 56th anniversary celebration Thursday night. The dinner was held in the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair Community Room at the fairgrounds on Highway 67. Wendy Denton, who received the honor last year, wanted to draw out the surprise announcement by dropping hints about the winner in her introduction of him, but she admitted the cat would be out of the bag after just a few words.
