FRIENDS OF CULEBRA ANIMALS ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN

Friends of Culebra Animals, Inc. PO Box 527 Culebra, PR 00775 [email protected] August 14, 2015 Dear FCA Community, Friends of Culebra Animals has been keeping busy & we want to share with you what has been going on. FCA pays homage to the memory of Jane Rowley, a longtime Culebra animal advocate and retired veterinarian who shared her expertise with all who founded Animal Welfare of Culebra (AWC). We legally changed our name from AWC and the reception has been well received. Besides a new name, we have a new Facebook page, working on a new website, and changes to our mission which is to devote resources to sterilization by sponsoring monthly mobile veterinary clinics in Culebra, humane education and sharing animal care information with the community. We are recognized by the PR Department of State and the IRS as a non-profit organization. Lori Novis is transitioning to grant writing, the current Board members include: Patty Pulliam, John Ernst, Sheila Ortiz, and happy to welcome Scott Schlosser and Sue Klumb. We are in the process of putting together an Advisory Board to work on new initiatives, such as: coordinating existing humane education curriculum, merchandising, establishing relationships with stateside no-kill shelters, mobile vet clinic help, and fundraising. We welcome you all to lend your voice and give a hand. Finances In addition to all of these exciting changes, we are working on becoming fully compliant and up-to- date with our tax obligations to Hacienda and the IRS. We are working with a PR-based accounting firm to rectify this. The accounting costs are projected to be $6,800. Total Assets: $7,580 FCA 2014 Total Income and Expenses Expenses Income $54,000 $54,500 $55,000 $55,500 $56,000 $56,500 $57,000 $57,500 $58,000 $57,474 $55,206

We've hit a dry spell with funding and are hoping we can count on you to help us fund our animal care initiatives here in Culebra, Puerto Rico. We think you will be impressed with our achievements, and where we are headed on behalf of Culebra's pets and homeless animals. Your donation is tax deductible with our 501(c)(3). As an all-volunteer organization, we raise the funds to raise the standards for all Culebra animals. Thank you for your interest and support! FCA Board
