Memorial Day
Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast
A rainy 2024 Memorial Day resulted in cancellation of the parade, but no other Wilton traditions—the Hillside ceremony was moved inside to the Wilton Congregational Church following the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast nearby. As always, this was an “all hands-on deck” activity for Kiwanis members who served friends and neighbors in a spirit of good cheer to start this patriotic day with a full heart (and stomach!).

We are proud to have our First Respondents join us
and also Little Leaguers who served as waiters.
Kiwanis sponsors a Little League team (this year the Rays)
and has made the Bill Terry (a Kiwanian) Field
a signature project ($25,000 donation) so our kids
have a first-class experience.

Behind the scenes were the Flippers, Pourers, and Coffee Makers
fueling the pancakes, sausage, and beverages: Lynn Taylor,
Mike Whitted, Michael Franco, Debbie Chann, Selectman Ross Tartell,
