We're climbing Portland Head Light! - 05/28/99 02:26 AM
Being a member of an HL club often gets you lighthouse experiences that you can't get as an individual lighthouse enthusiast. An example of this will occur on our club Outing June 4-6. The Portland Head Light and Spring Point Light foundations are opening up the lighthouses especially for our group to see the interiors and climb up to the top, with hopefully some good views of the coastline, if it is a clear day. It is very rare for anyone to be able to go into these lights; and it has come about because we are a group of serious lighthouse enthusiasts who are working to preserve lighthouses in general through education of the public and eventual public fund raising. I congratulate all HL clubs throughout the US who are working towards this same goal. If you are an HL collector out there, why not join your local lighthouse club, or start one if none is available, and contribute your time and talents towards educating the public to treasure and preserve the lighthouses in general, or in your area if you have lights. If you start a club, remember to register it not only with John Chidester for the club register page; but also list it here on the Club News section for everyone to see.
