The Garrett County Republican Women’s Club supports the fight against human trafficking. For the third consecutive year, a display has been placed in the window of the Oakland branch of the Ruth Enlow Library for the month of January, which is National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Chaired by Linda Bradley (pictured), the committee of Lisa Baker, Patty Hammond, Kathy Reel, and Lori Schlossnagle placed information about the signs a person is being trafficked and the impacts on a victim. One can report suspicions of human trafficking by calling 1-888-373-7888.
Continuing the theme, the Executive Committee dressed in blue and posed for a photo at their meeting on January 11, National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Pictured are (left to right): Linda Bradley, Rita Watson, Lisa Thayer Welch, Melita Friend, Mary Jo Walters, Patty Hammond, Lisa Herman, Cosette Harman, Barbara Chesley, and Luanne Ruddell.
Any Republican interested in this project or others of the Club and Republican Party is invited to join. More information is available through the Club’s Facebook page or by contacting President Luanne Ruddell at 301-501-0444.
