Trivia Night September 2022

Posted on September 11, 2022 by Bonnie Hannable

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!

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.

About FOBA and Giving Tuesday…

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Bonnie Hannable

We know that on “Giving Tuesday” everyone receives many requests for donations. When I get my mail, I always feel bad about not donating to all the worthy causes that need money, but of course, that’s impossible unless you’re quite rich. So we will just say that we sincerely appreciate all donations and want our supporters to know that the $$ is put to very good use for the animals we rescue. It helps pay for veterinary care, food and supplies while they are in foster care (we do not have a shelter). If you wish to donate, you can do so here on our website (click on “Donate” button) or by sending a check to FOBA, PO Box 3378, Beverly, MA 01915. (You can also purchase our calendar(s) as mentioned in a couple of posts below.)

Thank you for all your support in the past and future. You have helped us create many “happy tails” and “happy tales” — great adopton stories! (by Bonnie Hannable, FOBA Volunteer)

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from all of us at FOBA.
