| Publishing date: 20.01.2006 15:07 |
Roy’s Bayside, Sandy Ground, Anguilla, was the place to be Saturday January 14th as the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation sponsored the first of their planned bi-annual bingo games in 2006 to raise money for their spay/neuter program - the main project of the foundation.

Chairman of the fundraising committee, Althea Turner, noted that the proceeds from the bingo night would be used to meet the $10,000 budget for 2006, which offers free surgeries to all puppies and kittens that are adopted from AARF. This on going programme, which has reached almost 500 dogs and cats since it began in 2003, has helped immensely in controlling the unwanted births of puppies and kittens on the island.
The bingo night, which included 30 games with fantastic prizes that were donated by the businesses on Anguilla, and two hotel stays donated by Royal Islander Club at Maho Beach in St. Martin & Hurricane Cove in Nevis, was very exciting and enjoyed by a sell out crowd of around 200 people.
