There are so many good causes we are asked to donate to each year, especially at Christmas time, but one of my favorites is the "WARM THE CHILDREN FUND". Originally started in Garrett County 11 years ago by the Republican Newspaper and their staff, it has become a wonderful success and for such a good cause. Every cent donated to the fund goes to clothe needy children in our area. The Republican Newspaper charges no administrative cost, very rare in todays world. Quite a few volunteer agencies have helped assist in the past few years, the Womens Civic Club of Oakland is one. If you are interested in donating you can send your check to "Warm the Children Fund" in care of The Republican Newpaper, POBox 326, Oakland, MD 21550
