National Foster Care Month event Saturday

Several of us are working right up to Saturday on getting ready our event celebrating National Foster Care on May 16th at 2 pm here at our offices on St. Mary's Ave. in Parkersburg. We are combining a quarterly information session on foster care and adoption, with a symbolic walk. We will have some light refreshments. We hope some of our current foster parents will join us, and a few staff will participate. We are simply trying to raise awareness about foster care, and the needs of foster children in the community, and the value and appreciation we have for foster parents. We will be following this event up with a full fledge foster parent appreciation picnic on June 9th.
