FORT WORTH, Texas -- August 14, 2007 – Eight DIGIKIDS®

Named Franchisee of the Year were Kent and Becky Couch, Arlington, TX. Most
Valuable Player honors went to Jerry and Chris Patrick, Clarks Summit, PA.
The DIGIKIDS® Rookie of the Year award was presented to Amy Roebuck and

Dupre, Gonzalez, LA; Deborah and Jack Farhi, Waxhaw, NC; Maggie and Mike
Mahler, Waxhaw, NC; Bill and Jennifer Godfrey, Bradenton, FL; and Kevin and

franchisees have demonstrated enthusiasm and professionalism in their
energetic effort to bring this essential service to their communities,”
Michael Childs said. “In doing so, each award-winning franchisee not only
has contributed to the success of DIGIKIDS®, but also has helped parents
ensure the safety of their children.
“We are proud of every one.”
The awards were made Friday evening, August 10, at the company’s annual DIGI-Conference,

DIGIKIDS® offers a child safety CD that allows parents to quickly provide
law enforcement officials, the media, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC), and other agencies with two high-resolution
digital photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in
recovery efforts.
Offered through schools, preschools, churches, summer camps and other public
events, DIGIKIDS® delivers its secure Child ID kits on site in two minutes
