A huge congratulations to TN&W Irrigation. Thank you for 50+ years given to our community!

TN&W Irrigation has been a cornerstone of the Manito community for generations. Their commitment to supporting local agriculture, investing in our region, and helping farmers succeed has made a lasting impact throughout Central Illinois. More than a business, TN&W Irrigation is a valued community partner that understands the importance of hard work, dedication, and giving back. Their continued support of local organizations, schools, and community initiatives reflects the same values that have earned them the trust and respect of the families they serve. We are proud to recognize TN&W Irrigation for their contributions to our community and their unwavering commitment to helping Manito and the surrounding area grow and prosper.

Please welcome our newest trustee - Toni Bortell.

I have proudly called Manito home for most of my life and am a graduate of Forman High School. I have been a nurse with OSF HealthCare for 30 years and earned my Master’s Degree in Nursing Leadership in 2018.

Since 2004, I have volunteered as an EMT and first responder, serving with both the Forman Ambulance Service and the Forman Fire Department.

My husband, Saford, and I have raised five children and are proud grandparents to six grandchildren, with a seventh on the way. Service, commitment, and giving back to the community have always been at the heart of who I am.
