John Wheeler
John Wheeler said farewell to the club last week. He and Eloise are moving to a suburb of Chicago to be near family. John was brought into the club by John Iacovino some twenty five years ago. He has been a real asset to the club: always present, always happy to help, always supportive. He served on the Board during the presidencies of Alex Zucker and Lou Rabinowitz. He brought at least seven new members to the club. He was well known as a server of wine on Mystery Dinner buses. He is a Paul Harris Fellow Plus Two and a great Rotarian. We wish him and Eloise the best !
