Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • November 20, 2013 Area Children’s Aid & Family Services honors supporters Bernadette and Michael Davis and Carol and Jim Whaley were honored for their dedication to Children’s Aid and Family Services and the community at “An Eve- ning of Wine and Food,” held at the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes. The event, which was organized by Chil- dren’s Aid and Family Services, benefitted several services provided by the organiza- tion, including the Baby Basics program, which supplies free nutritional formula, diapers, and other essentials to low-income families with babies and toddlers; thera- peutic foster care; and community homes for children with severe autism and other special needs. As a special tribute to the honorees’ long- standing commitment to vulnerable chil- dren, Children’s Aid and Family Services’ pet therapy program has been renamed The Davis-Whaley Pet Therapy Program. “We have therapy dogs that regularly visit our children in foster care and those with severe autism,” said Bob Jones, Ph.D., president & CEO of Children’s Aid and Family Services. “The children love these visits and get great joy from the dogs. We could think of no better way to honor Michael, Bernadette, Carol, and Jim than to name this program for them.” Event sponsors included Prestige, TD Bank, Atlantic Stewardship Bank, Con- nectOne Bank, Investors Bank, Marion and Bob Jones, OritaniBank Charitable Foun- dation, PNC Wealth Management, Sobel & Co., TD Bank, The Shannon Rose Irish Pub, Town News and Ridgewood News, United Water, and Valley Hospital.
