A belated Happy New Year to everyone - may 2003 only hold good things for
you and your Berners.
I want to remind everyone that you can still make a donation to the BARC
LOC Challenge Fundraiser. We have 83 super Berner items that you can try
to win. If you haven't seen them, then you need to go to the web site that
Karen Pickel made for us and check them out:

I know that once you see the fantastic prizes for this fundraiser that you
will want to run to your checkbook to send in a donation to BARC and/or
LOC. This is a terrific way to make a donation to two tremendous
organizations and at the same time have a chance to win some very nice
Berner items.
This is a Challenge Fundraiser - we are trying to raise a lot of money for
BARC and LOC and the challenge is to see which group can raise the most
money. So far, we have raised a total of $2,192.69. BARC has raised
$1,173.69 and LOC has raised $1,019.00. Come on you folks who support LOC
- we need to catch up with that BARC amount. I'd like to see this
fundraiser end with a lot of money for both organizations and a "Tie" would
be fine as far as I'm concerned. There are only sixteen days left for
this fundraiser and I'd like to see us raise at least $4,000. We can do
it, but we everyone to participate - it will give us all a "warm puppy dog"
feeling to help these two groups.
Go hug your Berners....then go write a check!!
