As we close our campaign for the year we would like to say THANKS to all for your support and contributions! May God bless each cheerful giver!

Dear All,
Please help those in need through the annual Bauer family "Goat Fund" during this Christmas time. It all started back about Christmas of 2006 when a caring responsible mother thought that we were too spoiled and got way too much for Christmas. She thought that we ought to give the money we had gotten for Christmas to "get a goat" for someone in a poor country. As you can imagine, for a bunch of kids and some adults also, haha, this didn't go over too well, except for the guilt factor! We did, however, decide it was a worthy thing and started raising money to donate towards this cause. We even elected a chairman, which now is always the newest in-law! :) Last year we raised right at $720 and were able to purchase 6 Goats at $120 each! Praise God for those willing to give! This year we would like to raise the "goat" a little higher and with your help raise enough for 7 Christmas bundles as you can see below! This will cost us $4515 so it will take all the help we can get! Let's Bless the less fortunate this Christmas! God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!!
P.S. As a fun game, Please indicate who of the Bauer family contacted you in the comment line of your donation! We want to see who has the most friends! ;)

Once again God Bless,
The 2013 Bauer Goat Committee
(Ben and Bethann Kaeb)
