Citizen letters of support:

Steady hand

At this time of transition for the South Bend Community School Corp. Board of Trustees, the voters would do well to consider the candidacy of Don Wheeler for member at-large. His grasp of the issues and steady hand are needed in times like these.

Not only an award-winning business owner, Wheeler has found the time for extensive volunteer work within our community, including working with Habitat for Humanity as a crew leader and with the Dream Team for Unity as a mentor for our youth.

Add to this his openness to citizen input and his common-sense approach to problem solving, and you will find an unusually well qualified candidate for the board of trustees. When you look over your ballot on Nov. 4 and see all the people running as at-large candidates for the school board, please take the time to find and vote for the candidate by the name of Don Wheeler.
