Paula
Becks,
District
Director of Children’s Ser­
vices Division of Malheur
and Harney Counties an­
nounces that the week of
March 31 through April 6
was 'National Foster Par­
ents Week".
Ms. BtCk*
and foster home certification
worker, Alan Preston, are
sending commendation certi­
ficates to 28 foster parents
who have given care to child­
ren two years or more for
Children's Services Division
in Malheur County.
Ms.
Becks wishes to extend ap­
preciation to those parents
who provide such excellent
care of the children needing
temporary or long term out
of home care. Without these
concerned and dedicated
people. Children's Services
Division would not be able to
maintain a placement pro­
gram meeting certain stand­
ards of care to the child­
ren.
These foster parents have
been available for crisis
placements, give of them­
selves fully to the children
as "substitute parents",and
receive a modest amount of
money for the food, clothing
and personal incidentals of
the children in their care.
Ms. Becks also notes that
if anyone in Malheur County
is interested in becoming a
foster parent, they should
call Alan Preston at tele­
phone
number 889-9194.
There is always a need to
have additional homes to
meet the many and varied
needs of children needing
foster home care.
