October 9, 2004: Independence Abstract & Title Agency is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Charity Golf Outing benefiting Robins' Nest will be held Thursday, October 14, 2004 at the Buena Vista Country Club in Buena, NJ. The event will kickoff with lunch and registration at 11:00 AM followed by a shotgun start and a full reception dinner.

Robins' Nest was founded in 1968 to address the needs of abused and neglected adolescent girls. Within a year the agency opened New Jersey's first community-based group home for girls to provide a more compassionate alternative to institutional care. In 1983, the techniques that had brought Robins' Nest success in the residential program were utilized in the design of a strength-based family treatment program. This innovative in-home program expanded the agency's services to boys and girls of all ages. During the past three decades, Robins' Nest has continued to respond to the unmet needs of children with the development of a wide variety of innovative and effective treatment programs.

Independence Abstract & Title Agency's principals Joan & Jack Lyons have been advocates for the Robins' Nest since attending their first Robins’ Nest “Egg-Stravaganza” Silent Auction in 1999. Joan Lyons currently serves as a trustee for Robins’ Nest and the Event Chair of the Robins' Nest Annual Gala. Last year Independence Abstract’s 1st Annual Charity Golf outing raised $10,000.00 which went directly to services benefiting children in need in our South Jersey area.

"The Independence team is working hard to make sure this year’s golf outing is better than last, and our goal is to raise $13,500.00 for this very worthy cause." said Joan Lyons. “This community program relies on us to help our kids grow up safe in a supportive and loving home which should be the right of every child. We are part of this community and it is our responsibility to help whether it be giving a few hours of time or a much needed financial donation."
