1. A chance to meet fellow wackos and other forum members and also to meet the HL family members again. A place to get info on lighthouses and HL collecting.
2. Visit a few lighthouses in a half day. Seminars on preservation, lighthouse history etc. Time to meet friends.
3. Memories, lots of photos, a reunion exclusive.
4. Meet wackos, fellow collectors from my area, a presentaion live or video about the HL lighthouse process from start to finished piece.
5. About $200 per person. That plus hotel, travel and car adds up to enough for a couple.
6. Do not spend a whole day visiting lighthouses, a half day can be enough. If time and pocketbook allow extra pre and post tours can then be available. Substitute continental breakfasts in several locations instead of all gathering at one time and place. Do not have everyone in one hotel, a choice of hotel-motel accomodations, especially at lower prices will help those on tight budgets.
7. Let more people attend but still try to maintain the warm friendly family feeling. Set aside a lounge type room for forum registrants to meet and be able to connect faces with names.
