             To the editor: 
            
            The 2003 Illinois Foundation FFA drive 
            is under way, according to Vickie Huelskoetter and Karen Peddicord, 
            Lincoln FFA chapter sponsoring committee chairmen. The Illinois 
            Foundation FFA provides an avenue for businesses and interested 
            individuals to provide financial support for the Illinois 
            Association FFA and to encourage agriculture education students to 
            do their best by recognizing them for their accomplishments in 
            agriculture and personal development. Over 2,000 FFA members benefit 
            each year from incentive awards provided by the Illinois Foundation 
            FFA. 
            
            Helping with the local collection drive 
            is Lincoln FFA's chapter reporter Jodi Kinnamon. She will be 
            contacting area businesses and individuals concerning support for 
            the Illinois Foundation FFA. Anyone wanting to support the 
            foundation or wanting more information should contact Kelly Burden 
            at Lincoln Community High School, 
            1 (217) 732-4131, ext. 298 Local foundation representatives are 
            volunteers who give freely of their time to ensure the success of 
            the annual collection drive.
