The Roanoke Academy of Medicine Auxiliary will observe Doctor's Day on March 30 with greetings for doctors and gifts for needy children.
Roanoke-area physicians will receive greeting cards, featuring art and written work prepared by children of auxiliary members. The work will be judged by writer and teacher Judy Ayyildiz and artist Liz Kregloe-Bernard.
The original works will be sent to a medical facility in Romania in honor of the Roanoke doctors and Dr. Barbara Bascom, a Maryland physician currently working in Romania with World Vision.
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization working to provide Romanian orphans with clothing, medical care and other assistance.
Auxiliary members will make a financial donation to the project in recognition of Doctor's Day and are seeking donations of blankets, clothes and toys to send to help the Romanian children.
For more information, call Cathy Hanabury at 989-9244.
