When it's nearly 90 degrees outside (in the shade), perhaps it's a good time to think about Project Warmth. Everyone is talking about the extended heat spell, but those temperatures won't be around in the winter.

Here, Corsie Arn, operations manager of the Ada branch of Liberty National Bank, shows the display of raffle items for Project Warmth.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and may be purchased at the bank.
Bank employees created the fundraiser in 1990 to help local children stay warm during the winter.
