 Beverly's New Year! 

Dec 31, 2012

Thank you to our sponsors for making this event possible!

Beverly’s New Year 2013 (held on Dec 21, 2013) was a fantastic night! We were lucky to have nice weather and a big turnout – about 2,000 people welcomed the New Year on Cabot Street. The hours of fun passed quickly, and before we knew it, we were counting down the seconds. Now it’s time to say thanks to the many people who made it all happen.

The Beverly’s New Year Committee worked for over six months to plan the event and included: Co-Chairs Don MacQuarrie and Bruce Doig, members Larry Ralph, Jo Broderick, Joscelyn Ruelle-Kersker, Gin Wallace and Mary Ellen Mayo. We would like to say a very special thank you to Don MacQuarrie, as he is retiring from the committee and this was his last year. Don’s expertise with fundraising and also with the confetti canon will be missed. We are looking for new volunteers for next year, so if you would like to get involved, please let us know.

Thank you to the many dedicated volunteers that make this event a success: Bob Monahan, Jan & Don Preston, Haley Alwardi, Marina Babcock, Karin Croucher, Heidi DeFranko, Jill Hathaway, Margo Jones, Chris Kersker, Nikki Madsen, Colleen Michaels and family, Pat & Bob Murphy, Kim & Lars Nelson, Estelle Rand, Ariah Rosario, Carol Schroeder, Amy Sheridan, Kathy Siska and family, Alycia Toomey, Sam Vanhout and Paul Willenbrock. Thank you also to Grand Marshal Pete Frates who led the Grand Procession and then spoke to the crowd about ALS.

In addition to volunteers, the event was made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. We have loyal sponsors that give year after year to keep this tradition alive in Beverly, as well as new sponsors that recognize the importance of this event. We would like to give special thanks to our title sponsor North Beverly Plaza and other major sponsors Beverly Cooperative Bank, Beverly Rotary Club, People's United Bank and Shore Country Day School.
