It is hard to believe it is time to start thinking about
fall events. Although we are enjoying some great
late summer weather, it’s time to get your tickets
for two upcoming great events!
Please join us on Friday, October 9 for our third
annual CASINO NIGHT. This event is becoming a
great community event so invite your friends! The
night includes professional gaming tables and
dealers, “funny money”, a fabulous buffet including wine and beer, raffles and
more! Do not forget to bring all of the Casino Night Playing Cards that you have
been collecting all summer long to see who wins a cash prize for the best hand!
I would also like to thank our event sponsor Itasca Bank & Trust Co., along with
Hit It! Fitness, Passions Photography, Porte Brown and Salerno’s Rosedale
Chapels for their generous support of this event.
At this year’s Holiday Party and Awards Banquet, we will honor our 2015
Joseph G. Salerno Business Person of the Year. This prestigious award honors
a Chamber member who has made a significant contribution to not only our
Chamber but also our community. I am honored to announce that the Board of
Directors has selected Jared Wickstrom of Wickstrom Chevrolet as this year’s
recipient. The Roselle Chamber also will recognize Don Smolinski with the
Brian K. Healy Service Award for his work benefiting the Roselle community.
Please join me at the Holiday Party on December 4th as we congratulate and
honor Jared and Don for their hard work and dedication to our Chamber and
community.
We also would like to thank Jim Hodgdon for informing us how identity theft
can impact our businesses at our September membership meeting. A big
thanks also goes out to Pearl Banquets & Conference Center for hosting a
great Business After Hours. Did you miss these great opportunities to network
and have fun? This fall promises to be filled with great events – I look forward
to see you at the next one.

Comprehensive Plan
Update Team Hosting
Public Forum October 28
The public feedback phase of the Village’s Comprehensive
Plan update continues, with several public forums being
facilitated by the Village’s consultant team, led by Ginkgo
Planning and Design, Inc.
The second of three public forums will be held on
Wednesday, October 28 in the Council Chambers at Village
Hall, 31 S. Prospect St., from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Models,
drawings, presentations, and lively discussions will be
included, as the evening focuses on “Big Ideas” like:
• What are the major assets of Roselle that should be
preserved and strengthened?
• What is missing in Roselle today?
• What are three biggest challenges for the future?
• What would you like Roselle to be known for in the
Chicago Region?
The consultant team will share initial ideas for the Village’s
Town Center and the Metra station area, new trails for
pedestrians and bicyclists, sites near the Elgin-Ohare
Interchange, and other exciting opportunities. Online and
social media tools being used throughout the project will
also be showcased.
All residents and business owners are invited to participate
in this opportunity to help craft a bold plan for the future
of Roselle that captures the vision of the community and
inspires action. For more information on the Plan and the
Forum, please contact Village Planner Matthew Fitzgibbon
at [email protected].

Chamber Honors
Service and
Leadership
The Roselle Chamber of Commerce & Industry continues
with the annual tradition of recognizing individuals for
their contributions to the community. The Joseph G.
Salerno Business Person of the Year Award honors a
businessperson’s professional successes and leadership
in the community. The Brian K. Healy Service Award pays
tribute to an individual for their outstanding community
service.
Business Person of the Year
The Chamber is pleased to
announce Jared Wickstrom
of Wickstrom Chevrolet as
the Joseph G. Salerno 2015
Business Person of the Year.
Jared is one of the owners
of Wickstrom Chevrolet,
located in Roselle. The
Wickstrom Family has a
long history of serving the
Roselle community, going
back to 1963, when Jared’s
grandfather, Dick, founded
the company. Jared joined
the Wickstrom Chevy team
back in 2008, and he took
over as Dealer Principal for
his father, Casey Wickstrom,
in 2011.
Wickstrom Chevrolet is
a full service automotive
retail dealership. Wickstrom specializes in the sale of new
Chevrolets and quality pre-driven vehicles of all makes and
models. Wickstrom also specializes in maintenance and
repair of all makes and models of vehicles.
Wickstrom Chevrolet has long emphasized supporting the
Roselle community and community organizations such as
the Chamber of Commerce, Lake Park High School, Lions
Club of Roselle, Rotary Club, Roselle Medinah Baseball
Softball Organization, Run for the Roses and more!
When he’s not selling cars, Jared is a busy guy. He and his
wife, Liz, have four young Children: Mary Kate (10), Tommy
(8), Claire (5), and Teddy (4). A typical work week is pretty
hectic for Jared, but spending time with his family is a huge
priority. Jared’s hobbies are pretty simple.....If time ever
allows, he enjoys playing golf and kicking back watching a
Cubs or Bears game.
Service Award Recipient
In recognition of Don Smolinski’s service to the community,
he has been selected as recipient of the Brian K. Healy
Service Award. Don was raised in northeast Ohio, graduating
from Bowling Green State University. He was commissioned
