The
2004
Illinois
Tar
Wars Poster Contest Results
Hennepin
,
Illinois
(population 750) may be a small town, but itís the current capital of Tar
Wars for 2004. The state poster
contest winner and one of the runners up are both students at
Putnam
County
Elementary
school
in Hennepin.
Both winners were surprised at a ceremony at school on April 14 in
front of their classmates and their families.
Because of the generosity of two IAFP members, Kyle and his father will
travel to
Washington
,
D.C.
for the
National Poster Contest. IAFP past
president Ron Johnson, M.D. donated frequent flyer miles to pay for two round
trip plane tickets and IAFP president-elect Ellen Brull, M.D. made a donation
for their hotel room during the trip. Tar
Wars is extremely grateful for these generous, thoughtful and much needed
donations!
Kyle Kinczewski

Putnam
County

Thank you to all the schools who submitted posters to
IAFP for the contest. Special
thanks to Zenith Electronics, for donating great prizes to Tar Wars for the
past four years!
Certificates will be mailed to all state poster contest finalists by the
end of April
If your
Tar Wars presentation was too late to enter the state poster contest this
year, you can submit posters for the 2005 contest, so donít get rid of them!
The lesson and the message is most important, so I hope youíll still
get the word out to your students this year that tobacco-free is the
way to be!
Good
luck in
Washington
,
D.C.
Kyle!
