APPLAUSE

The Snyder Hunt Corporation has made a three-year $5,000 grant for furnishing the Blacksburg branch of the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library. Since April 1995, the library has been expanded and renovated, and work is to be completed next week.

NationsBank has contributed $3,500 to the Fine Arts Center of the New River Valley. The money will be used to replace carpet in the center's gallery. The carpet will be installed in September, in time for the center's fall season.

New River Community Action wishes to thank and recognize the dozen Radford businesses that supported the group's annual summer youth camp by displaying a donation can. The camp served 30 area children. The businesses include: the Deli Mart on Jefferson Street; Central Market and Deli on Fairfax Street; Citgo; East Side Chevron; Scottish Mart; Lamour's; Java River Co.; Fun & Games; Words Plus; Dollar General Store; Classy Critters; Student Outlet Services; the Marathon Pak & Sak on Norwood Street; and R&R Market on Wadsworth Street.

Applause features people who volunteer their time and skills, local businesses that do something special to support area community groups, or any other person or group that deserves recognition. Send information to P.O. Box 540, Christiansburg, Va. 24060 or e-mail your message to newriver@infi.net
