On June 19, 2025, the VHA’s Annual Meeting and Luncheon was held at the beautiful Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with ITC’s fabulous farm to table appetizers. A general meeting ensued with guest speaker, Dr. Robert Brenner, President and CEO, Valley Health System. Dr. Brenner presented a very interesting and informative update on the hospital, Valley Medical Group, and other Valley ventures. Following Dr. Brenner’s presentation, VHA President, Donna Singer reviewed last year’s many accomplishments, culminating in the completion of our $3.1 million pledge to establish the Pediatric Section of the Emergency Department and fund an endowment to Valley Home Care’s Butterflies program. The meeting portion of the day concluded with the installation of the new VHA Executive Board officers.
After a delicious three-course lunch served in the gorgeous ITC ballroom with a view of Franklin Lake, we welcomed our guest speaker, Caroline Manzo — former star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and author of the cookbook, Food & Other Things I Love.
