The celebration kicked off with an anniversary banquet held at Vito's on the Water. The banquet was attended by many members including past members and a charter member. Also in attendance was Mayor Don Trinks and Congressman John Larsen. On January 20, 2016, a U.S.. Flag was flown over the capitol in Washington, DC to commemorate the official 50th anniversary. This flag was presented to Windsor Kiwanis at their anniversary dinner celebration by Congressman Larson. A Proclamation was also presented to the club by Windsor Mayor Donald Trinks. Other events were held and donations made to commemorate the anniversary. Four sponsors of Kiwanis events were recognized with bricks that were installed on the Windsor Green. The sponsors were D’Agata Granite, Carmon Funeral Homes, Windsor Federal Savings and the Rabbett Insurance Agency. The club sponsored a Back to School Bar-B-Que. A $175 donation was made toward the purchase of a bike for the Book Cycle Program. A $1000 donation was made to the Windsor Educational Foundation to support teacher training. A $6000 donation was made to purchase playground equipment for the Clover Street school. Granite benches have been ordered and will soon be installed on the Windsor Green.
