Annual Awards Night
| Each year the Windsor Chamber of Commerce holds its Annual Dinner and Meeting in June during which the new Board is sworn in and several awards are given to businesses and individuals in recognition of their devotion to community service. This year the event will be held at the Windsor Marriott on June 24th at 6:00 pm. The Annual Dinner Committee makes sure it was a fun-filled, spirited event.
