THE GOATS OF GOAT ISLAND NEED YOUR HELP!

IF YOU LOVE GOAT ISLAND PLEASE READ

The owners and care takers of Goat Island are Rickie and Stacy Baker .

(my personal opinion)(

The Bakers do not get paid to lend their goats to goat island. The food and health care these goats receive is NOT Free. When one is sick Stacy and Rickie are immediately there and taking care of the issue and they get no emergency pay!

They lend these goats to the island, for many simple reasons.

They own the goats and enjoy their company and want to share them with all of us around Lake Martin.

Their family has long been involved in keeping these goats on goat island for all us on Lake Martin. They just are taking over for their parents and grandparents.

Lately our friends Rickie and Stacy have been over-whelmed with questions and requirements from Alabama Power Company. Many of these New requirements will be extra burden on the Baker's.

So next week, we will be meeting to discuss the best way to handle these pressing issues.

More info coming on Lake Martin Q & A next week!

I for one, do not want to loose The Goats on Goat Island.

I think we owe it to our Children and Children's Children to make sure we take a stand and help Rickie and Stacy keep these Goats on the Island!

I had a really hard time reading the blue. Can you tell me the bottom line?

If a donation will help, count me in. We usually leave some money in the donation box when we visit. It is important that we keep this Lake Martin icon intact.

I think if it is a matter of donations, most people who enjoy Goat Island would contribute. What are the new restrictions and requirements? It would be a shame to lose the goats. I wonder if this is somehow related to the incident last year where someone killed a dog with his boat, around Goat Island.

It’s seems the website called lake Martin Questions and Answers jump the gun and someone contacted APC. The owners have asked that they have things well in hand and will report more later. Sorry false alarm.
