“Possessing the ability to read and write is fundamental. It makes learning possible, inevitable and infinite.” With this statement, the National Federation of Republican Women introduces its priority project of fostering education and literacy. Local Clubs are encouraged to act as educational advocates, volunteer to mentor or read to students, and to donate books to local libraries.
Members of the Garrett County Republican Women’s Club have embarked on their local commitment by making an annual book donation to the Ruth Enlow Library and by reading to local students.
