Wendy Denton was named the 2015 Kiwanian of the Year Thursday night during the Statesboro Kiwanis Club's 55th anniversary celebration. Introduced by last year's recipient of the award, J.D. Dunn, Denton listened with a smile as he teased the audience as to her identity by revealing bits and pieces of her life. Having served on the club's board of directors and been involved in many projects, Denton "has also been one of the driving forces in the Statesboro Kiwanis Club for the Eliminate Project," one of the club's endeavors, he said.
