Hi Everyone,
One final reminder about our 2020 Calendars, very few left now, selling at 1/2 price ($7 each). Shown are the front cover and the month of January’s pages…
If you haven’t gotten one of our calendars, this is your last chance. This beautiful calendar contains over 180 great photos of local beloved pets, and they may still be available (1/2 price, $7) at Beverly Wild Bird and DogSpa. We are very grateful to all of these stores for carrying our calendars, and we hope you will shop there often!
Money raised from the sale of calendars is used for veterinary care, food and supplies for the animals we rescue and foster until they are adopted.
Questions or if you need further information, email bhannable@gmail.com or call 978-922-7190.

Congratulations!
On November 26, Chris Reilly, Associate Leasing Officer for Cummings Properties, and a recent graduate of Endicott College, presented Heidi Roberts, President and Founder of Friends of Beverly Animals, with a check for $1000. As part of the Cummings Community Giving Program, each year employees are given the sum to donate to the charity of their choice. Chris, who owns two dogs, chose FOBA because it is the only animal charity in the City of Beverly.
Friends of Beverly Animals, which began in 2007, is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to help the city’s homeless animals. It is run entirely by kind volunteers who take them into their homes and find good homes for the many animals in need (mostly cats, since the city handles dogs). The organization pays for veterinary care, food and supplies until the animals are adopted into their new homes.
Ms. Roberts and the FOBA volunteers hope to someday soon have an animal shelter in Beverly, where none currently exists. She believes that it would not be difficult for the City of Beverly to provide a small city-owned building, as the towns of Marblehead and Ipswich did to get started; both now have their own shelters.
The Friends of Beverly Animals wants to express sincere appreciation to Chris Reilly and Cummings Properties for this wonderful gift, and to all volunteers and supporters who make their rescue and adoption placement work possible.
Shown are this month’s (December) page from the 2019 calendar, plus the front and back covers of our 2020 calendar.
Our 2020 calendars make very nice Christmas presents, with over 180 great photos of local beloved pets, and they are on sale in the Beverly stores listed below. We are very grateful to these stores for carrying our calendars, and we hope you will shop there often!
Money raised from the sale of calendars is used for veterinary care, food and supplies for the animals we rescue and foster until they are adopted. The calendars are $14 each, and they may also be purchased on our website at friendsofbeverlyanimals.org If you would like to purchase the 2020 FOBA Calendar online and have it mailed to you, click the Donate button, then enter $14 for each calendar desired, and under Special Instructions type in “Calendar.” Please add $4.00 for the first calendar and $0.75 for each additional calendar to cover postage and envelope.
