members.\u00a0 It was started in 1924 by the wives of Rotarians in England and migrated to the United States in 1967.\u00a0 The Inner Wheel USA Foundation partners with Hangar Prosthetics Corporation to supply myolectric arms for children.\u00a0 Our most recent recipient was Fred Langdale of Moore Haven, who lost his arm to an alligator while swimming in the Caloosahatchee River. \u00a0The new arm Fred received has helped him to continue the activities he has always enjoyed:\u00a0 Fishing, Welding, and Boating.<\/p>\n<p>When insurance only provides a claw after loss of limb, Inner Wheel partners to provide the child with an arm that helps normalize their life.<\/p>\n<p>The objects of Inner Wheel are to promote true friendship, to encourage the ideals of personal service, and to promote international understanding.\u00a0 Fort Myers Inner Wheel Club was chartered in 1984 and continues to help this community by supporting the Harry Chapin Food Bank, collections of sweatshirts for the homeless, school supplies for the needy, and many other worthy projects.\u00a0 If you want more information about Inner Wheel, go to www.innerwheel.com or www.innerwheelusa.com or call Ellen
