A Message from Ronald F. Wittmeyer

As a lifelong resident of Arlington Heights, I am very familiar with the communities in this region. I started first grade in Arlington Heights many years ago and have resided here ever since. My wife and I raised our children here and are proud to call Arlington Heights our home.

I strongly believe in actively supporting accident prevention and safety-related activities and organizations in the community. If you or your organization will be participating in or sponsoring a safety-related event, let us know — we’ll be happy to help promote it through this eNewsletter.
