It is hard to believe it is time to start thinking
about fall events. The recent chill in the air was a
warning that summer is drawing to a close. So it’s
time to get your tickets for two upcoming great
events!
Please join us on Friday, October 17th for our
second annual CASINO NIGHT. This event is
guaranteed to be one of the best events of the
year and is completely open to the public so
invite your friends! The night includes professional gaming tables and dealers,
“funny money”, a fabulous buffet including wine and beer, door prizes, 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 $100.00 for the best
hand! I would also like to thank our Premium Sponsors Itasca Bank & Trust, Hit
It! Fitness and Porte Brown for their generous support of this event.
At this year’s Holiday Party and Awards Banquet, we will honor our 2014
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 Todd Eichholz of Heritage Realty & Development as
this year’s recipient. Todd has been an active Chamber member and recent
past president. In addition, spread throughout Roselle are many unheralded
community projects that Todd has helped build.
The Roselle Chamber also will recognize Officer Pat Stopka of the Roselle Police
Department with the Brian K. Healy Service Award for his service and countless
hours organizing events benefiting the Roselle Community. Please join me at
the Holiday Party on December 5th as we congratulate and honor Todd and Pat
for their hard work and dedication to our Chamber and community.
We also would like to thank DuPage County Board Member Sam Tornatore for
taking time to share some insight into the many facets of the DuPage County
Board at our September membership meeting. A big thanks also goes out to
Bulldog Ale House 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!

Chamber Honors Service and Leadership
The Roselle Chamber of Commerce and Industry
continues their 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.
The Chamber is
pleased to announce
Todd Eichholz as
the 2014 Business
Person of the Year.
Todd is the owner
of Heritage Realty
& Development as
well as co-owner of
A&A Paving, both businesses located in Roselle.
Todd currently serves on the Chamber Board of
Directors and is our past President as well as the
2008 recipient of the Brian K. Healy Award. Todd
is also co-chair of the Golf Outing, serves on the
Finance Committee and has volunteered countless
hours at the Bingo Tent, Rose Parade, Membership
Appreciation Picnic, Community Directory, Holiday
Party set up and building floats for the Rose Parade
in his garage.
With a desire to further support the community,
Todd also serves on several other boards and is
proud to be a current Board Member of the Roselle
Police Association Foundation, a Taste of Roselle
Commissioner, a Board Member of DuPage County
Area Project, or DuCap for short, which creates
programs and activities for at-risk youth, he is an
Advisory Board Member of Stepping Stones for Women
of Domestic Violence, the Precinct Committeemen
for his neighborhood, and a past-Board member and
mentor of AIMS, a youth mentoring program.
He and his wife, Jaime, are both lifelong Roselle
residents who attended Trinity Lutheran School and
Lake Park High School. They have two beautiful
daughters McKenna and Aislynn who also attend
Trinity Lutheran School in the 6th Grade and
Kindergarten. Since weekdays are hectic with work
and the organizations that he’s involved with, Todd
always blocks time to take his two girls for “daddydaughter time” and escape to Marengo Illinois to do
nothing but ride their horses. Something that started
out years ago as a fun thing to try with his oldest
daughter has turned into an obsession and has led to
countless shows, ribbons and awards but importantly
memories and quality time with his family.
In recognition of Officer Pat Stopka’s service to
the community, he
has been selected as
recipient of the Brian
K. Healy Service
Award.
Officer Pat Stopka
began his career with
the Roselle Police
Department on the
11th of December
1995.
Since then
he has served in
many facets of the
department.
Pat
was assigned in
Detectives from 2003
until 2011, was assigned as a traffic officer to our traffic
unit, and is a certified child safety seat inspector. He
has received four achievement awards from the Illinois
Department of Transportation and Alliance Against
Intoxicated Motorists for his work curbing intoxicated
motorists. Pat has received seven Commendations
or Honorable Mentions and numerous letters of
appreciation. He’s been instrumental in developing
the Roselle Police Association Foundation and many
of the efforts of the Roselle Police Association. Officer
Stopka has conducted many community based
programs, most notably is the yearly “Shop with a
Cop” program and many other annual fundraisers
which benefit local non-for-profit organizations.
The Chamber invites you to pay tribute to Todd
and Pat at the upcoming Annual Holiday Party &
Awards Banquet on December 5. Watch for your
formal invitation to the party in early November!
