A big thank you to the Women's Committee for their contribution to the 2011 IAA Foundation Silent Auction held during the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting. Their donation, a baby quilt valued at over $150.00, helped in the successful outcome of the project which raised $40,000 for Illinois Ag in the Classroom. Funds generated will be used to teach Illinois school children about the importance of agriculture. A special thank you to Rheta Schallhorn for piecing together the front of the quilt and to Rita Dabler for putting the final touches on the quilt.
