FOR THE BABIES: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not a cause for
celebration, but the $240,000 raised at the annual NOFAS
International Gala certainly was. More than 225 guests, including
over 25 individuals and family members personally affected by
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), were there to hear
the touching story of 12-year-old Nicholas Davis-Magliozzi, who is
living with FASD. He inspired the audience with remarks about
overcoming his disabilities and earning a place in the gifted and
talented program at his middle school. Dr. William Kennedy Smith
was honored with the group’s Excellence Award for his contributions to its mission. Qatari Amb. Mohammed Jaham Al-Kuwari
generously donated a dinner for 20 at his embassy and a private
tour of CityCenter
