CVC Elects Co-Chairs for 2008

The Corporate Volunteer Council has elected Dotty Cacchillo and Renee Bergen as co-chairs for 2008 to succeed Adrienne Cabral and Bill Bubbico who have done a terrific job as co-chairs for the last two years.

Renee is an Executive Assistant at Cara Therapeutics. The company is new to the area moving from Tarrytown, NY to Shelton. She started with the company in August of 2007 and joined the CVC soon after after learning of the good work of the Council from Linda Hvizdo of Homewood Suites. After attending one meeting and meeting with Pat Tarasovic she decided to  become further involved and is looking forward to working with everyone on the council and contributing towards helping people in the community.        

Cara Therapeutics is an emerging biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapeutics to treat human diseases associated with pain and inflammation.

Dottiy is the Personnel Manager at the Wal*Mart Store in Derby, and has been with Wal*Mart for ten years. She has been involved with the CVC for five years and said, “Being involved in our community is a critical piece of our culture. Sharing a strong bond in our community is a constant driving force at Wal*Mart." She noted that Brian West and the entire Marketing Team at Wal*Mart are very supportive of Dotty in her new leadership role with the CVC. 

Dotty resides in the Valley with her husband Robert and her two children Sarah and David and her step children Robert and Daniel. 

Pat Tarasovic said that, “Dotty and Renee both joined the CVC with so much enthusiasm and a great desire to do good for the community. Their natural spirit is contagious allowing them to engage others to join along with their efforts. The will make another great team in leading the CVC.”
