ON THE MOVE: WORKSHOP STRESSES HOME-BUYING

Because servicemen aren't being transferred as often as in the past, the Navy is encouraging homeownership by offering a home-buying workshop from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today at the Norfolk Live Club on the Norfolk Naval Base.

The Norfolk Housing Fair is sponsored by the Norfolk Navy Housing Welcome Center, the Virginia Housing Development Authority and the Navy's Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department. Subjects covered include mortgage loans, home inspections, the VHDA homeownership educational program, buyer brokerage and selling your house.

LEARNING LEASING: The Apartment Book and the Multifamily Housing Council of the Tidewater Builders Association will sponsor a multifamily housing seminar at 8:30 a.m. March 11 at Kaufman Duckworth Hall at Old Dominion University.

Toni Blake Cline, a motivational humorist and leasing expert, will be the speaker. The cost is $59 for Apartment Book advertisers and $89 for others. Each attendee will be credited with 25 RAM points. To register, call 446-2074 by Monday.
