On Tuesday, July 4, 2023 the Lake Minnetonka Chapter awarded a DAR Community Service Award to Navy Veteran and former mayor of the City of Wayzata, Ken Willcox. Mr. Willcox’s patriotic service has left an indelible mark on our community. The Lake Minnetonka DAR Chapter has had the privilege of witnessing his dedicated support of DAR and C.A.R. projects that honor our veterans. Year after year, Mr. Willcox graciously served as the master of ceremonies for the C.A.R.’s annual Flying Pancake Breakfast’s veterans recognition program. He also played a crucial role as the featured speaker during the presentation of Quilts of Valor to deserving veterans, even amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic. His commitment to ensuring meaningful ceremonies by hosting them in the Wayzata Council Chambers reflects his deep respect for those who have served our country. Congratulations to Ken Willcox, and thank you for your tireless service to the Wayzata community.
