REALTORS' GROUP SEEKS IDEAS FOR CIVIC PROJECT

The Community Revitalization Committee of the Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors is looking for a project for 1993.

Individuals and groups with suggestions of hands-on projects that would fill community needs may send ideas to Carolyn Shorter at 104 South Park Office Center, 4504 Starkey Road S.W., Roanoke 24014, or call 772-0526.

Foster parents sought to care for infants

The Roanoke office of the Children's Home Society of Virginia is in need of foster homes for infants.

The babies are cared for in foster homes temporarily until they are returned to their birth families or placed in adoptive homes. Foster care usually starts immediately upon the infants' release from the hospital.

The agency provides formula, clothing and medical care for the infants, and foster parents are paid a daily stipend. Prospective foster parents must complete a home study before being approved.

For more information, contact the Children's Home Society at 344-9281.
