Jack Island, owner of the Silverado Grill on Spring Road, will be inducted into the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI) Civic Hall of Fame for his contributions to the chamber and the Elmhurst community at large.
Island will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the chamber's 99th annual Awards Gala and 100th Birthday Bash on Jan. 26. He will be the 26th person inducted into the Hall of Fame since its creation in 1992, a posting on the chamber's website said.
“Jack Island is one of those regular down-to-earth guys who never hesitates to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty for the good of others,” ECCI President and CEO John R. Quigley said in the posting.
