Can you guess who this couple is ?  
Though the photo may indicate another era, it's of married members Bill and Betsy Kmiecik... Rotarians whose lives have developed to include service above self in Rotary and elsewhere.
 
Today was an opportunity to find out more about Betsy, and about another new member, Matthew Staley.  Betsy has worked in the HR (Human Resources) field throughout her career, including a stint with the IRS where she met her husband and fellow club member, Bill Kmiecik.  She told us of her home, family, experiences with other organizations (e.g., HR for Daily Herald), and her other volunteer activities.  As we’ll recall, our wishes and prayers go to the family and daughter Emily during her recovery. 
 
Matt Staley has his office nearby on South Arlington Heights Road, working with AAA (American Automobile Association) in the area of Home and Auto Insurance.  He told us of his life, career and and how he came to be at AAA, including work as an On Air Personality in radio and in television.  He has also been an active support of the chamber for several years.  If you share a table with him and need a conversation starter, ask about good wine and the Staley mascot.
Contact information for these members can be found soon in our Rotary Directory, and by clicking “More” to see it here.
