Trivia Night September 2022

Our Trivia Games Night (9/9/22) was just great! We had a very good turnout; Casual Catering’s food was delicious, and we had lots of wonderful raffle and silent auction items! Jim Lucas did a super job — he really knows how to make the games fun. We want to thank everyone involved; Jim, his wife Linda, sister Terry, mom Helen, for all their donations and help setting up the hall.
Thanks to all our members and friends who donated nice prizes; especially to our Treasurer Chris Letterman, who again made all beautiful floral centerpieces for the tables. Also, thanks to Chris and her friend who sat at the welcome table all night; Paul Guanci of Casual Catering & Super Sub (who donated a generous gift card); Sharon Cook (our fun VP) who shared emcee duties with Jim; Neal Flewelling for letting us use his sound system; Joan Matton, Bonnie Currier, and Lisa Vince, who donated and helped in numerous ways; Cheryl Mezack who donated attractive items and acted as our photographer for the event; Nancy Buchanan for her generous prizes; Diane McCarthy for Celtics tickets; the staff/help from the Franco-American Club.
Also thanks to Rep. Jerry Parisella for attending; Sen. Joan Lovely who made and brought a beautiful floral and animal arrangement; Gov. Councilor Eileen Duff who donated several nice prizes. All three are regular supporters of FOBA’s efforts and we appreciate that so much!
Much appreciation to these businesses & organizations: Acapulco’s, Commonwealth Cats, Casual Catering/Super Sub, DogSpa, Ellis Square Friends, Stop ‘n Shop of No. Beverly, Looking Good by Stella, Loyal Companion, the Paul Ramsdell Scholarship Fund, PetCo of Gloucester, Rev Restaurant, Wild Bird Unlimited.
Finally, of course we want to acknowledge and thank all who attended, and FOBA’s visionary President and Founder, Heidi Roberts, who started all of this!
We apologize if anyone has been left out. Please let us know and we’ll fix it!

About Our 2022 & 2023 Calendars

Below is the month of August from our 2022 calendar, plus the 2022 cover. Thanks again to all pet owners who sent us your great photos. We love your precious pets, too! Also many thanks to those who purchased our calendars and to the Beverly merchants who helped us sell them.
There is still time to submit photos for our 2023 calendar! Deadline is August 15th. We had so much fun receiving your pictures last year, we are looking forward to seeing your cutest pet photos for our 2023 calendar.
As most of you know, selling calendars is one of the ways FOBA raises money to support the rescue and adoption placement work we do. Receipt of your photos will be acknowledged, but please be patient because we receive lots of photos. If you don’t currently have a pet, but know someone who might like to have their animal friend in the calendar, kindly share this information.
Please send us a favorite photo (no more than three per pet, please) of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, any animal you care about, as long as it’s a good and interesting photo and was not used in our previous calendars. Photos should be good quality (jpgs, at least 150 dpi or 4×6″ in size), not blurry or dark, with no people (or people parts) in them. Please identify the animal(s) by name, and state the owner’s name.
Again, the deadline for submission is August 15, 2022. Send to fobacalendar@gmail.com
For more information on our calendar, email fobacalendar@gmail.com. For further information or to ask about adoptions, contact our facebook page or friendsofbeverlyanimals.org or call 978-927-4157. Thank you for supporting the Friends of Beverly Animals and helping us save even more precious an animals!
