OK, Forum Family, it's time to roll out the 2004 Limited Edition Version of the Wacko Badge! As you may recall, the lighthouse selected for support from the Forum members this year is Esopus Meadows, NY . The Save Esopus Lighthouse Commission has accomplished quite a bit of work in the past few years. Several of our members have been able to visit the light, and some have even been able to help work on the light. Hopefully, by the end of the year, when everyone has had the opportunity to order their badges, we will be able to give the Commission a gift in the vicinity of $1,000. With your help we can reach this goal. For those that don't know the history of theses badges, this will be the fourth badge. The first was done in 2001 to be used at the Baltimore Reunion. Proceeds were given to St. George Reef Light in California. These badges were available only to those that attended the Reunion, and were very popular. Because of this, the project was continued in 2002 (Block Island Southeast) and 2003 (Bodie Island). The badges compliment the Wacko Pins that will be sold sometime this spring. It is a fun way to support lighthouse preservation and to have a way to recognize those other members of the Forum Family you have only "met" on the internet. And, no, you don't have to have achieved the coveted "Wacko" ranking in the Forums. As they were last year, the badges will be $6 each (postage included). You may pay by check or by using PayPal. You can order a badge for yourself, your spouse, your kids, your pets, whatever. Just remember to order early and order often! There are a few "Harbour Lights Wacko" lanyards left (probably about 30) and they are $3 each. When they are gone they will not be reordered this year. A special thanks to Forum member Bryan Acree who has allowed us to use his picture of Esopus Meadows for the badge. To order yours, please click here for ordering information . In case you are wondering what the badge looks like:

Dave, Looks good again. I placed my order. Gotta have my Wacko Badge- just so I can prove to people that I'm a card carrying Wacko, not that I usually get an argument about that. Dennis

The new badge looks great Dave. But where are those bright green shutters that I worked on? I'll be ordering shortly. Thanks again for putting this project together.

Nice, Dave! I'm gonna have to get mine ordered...could it be here by LHHC&Y? Shirin...I'm getting my green Sharpie out upon the badges arrival to fix that lighthouse! I'm going to tape this one back-to-back with my Bodie one so that if it flips around, you can still see the face. Just placed my order...I'm sending a check...I really hope it comes before LHHY&Y on the 31st!

Dave, will send my order in with a check. Will also see if Robert would be interested in having a badge. I've been wearing mine to all lighthouse events, and been asked, "You're a Wacko".

Thanks Dave! Completed ordering badge (& lanyard if still available) for this year. If lanyards are already sold out, just apply the extra $3 to the Lighthouse fund . As I was forced to complete the Lighthouse Club name field, and since I not a member of a Harbour Lights club , I entered "None please leave blank" Melody

The way the form is set up, you have to put something in every blank for it to complete. Sorry, I can't change that. If you don't belong to a club, just put in none or even just a single letter. I'll figure it out......
If you belong to a HL collector club and I have a copy of the club logo, it will be printed on the back of the badge. The clubs I have logos for are Hoosier, Beacon Brigade, Derby, Desert, Gateway, Eastern GL, So Cal. If your club has a logo and I haven't listed it, someone needs to get me a JPEG copy.
If you don't belong to a HL club, but do belong to another lighthouse preservation group (LI Chapter, Chesapeake Chapter, etc) I will be glad to list that as your club. Just won't print their logo on the back. In any case, I will list only one club so you have to either pick the one you want listed or buy multiple badges......
Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far. We are off to a great start. Remember, over 200 of us have to get one to be able to reach a $1000 gift to Esopus Meadows.

Dave, Just wanted you to know that I have received the two I ordered and they are great. Got them ready to wear to the LHHC&Y get-together this coming weekend. Thanks for doing a superb job on these again. Great cause and we are happy to support it and very happy to have these to wear to our lighthouse events. Bert & Sharon

Mine arrived today, too, Dave (at least I picked it up at the PO Box today). Looks great as usual and now hangs proudly on the same lanyard as 2001-2002-2003.

Got mine yesterday from Dennis (Dave mailed mine with his in the same package to make sure I got it) and it looks GREAT! Even better in person. One modification--for laughs, I drew Shirin's green shutters on the light with Sharpie. Can't have Espous without green shutters! Great job, as always, Dave. Looking forward to next year's badge!!!!!

Wear it proudly!

If you are planning on attending the Saint AUgustine regional event you need to be ordering your Wacko Badge. Do you want to be the only Connected Collector there without one? For a lousy $6 you can be right in style and current. Be sure all your on-line friends can find you. Order your badge today if you want to have it by the regional!

"Thus ends this paid announcement by Hannum Badge Industries" I LOVE my new badge. Especially the NELL logo. I put the two (2004 + 2003) back to back, so now, my constant "flipping in the wind" problem has been solved. It looks great--especially with Shirin's green shutters that I DID Sharpie on! Dave, you do a great job with these. You go above and beyond, like when you mailed mine to Dennis to make sure I got it for LHHC&Y. They look great, too! Y'know, you could market the idea to other forums...or PATENT IT!

A reminder to those who have been putting off acquiring their badge in time for the Saint Augustine event - you have until Tuesday morning to get yours ordered for delivery at the event.
At our club meeting last weekend, one of our members shared a story of the power of the Wacko badge and lantern. The story involved, a lighthouse not normally viewed up close, but because she was wearing her lanyard and badge, the gatekeeper knew she was a serious lighthouse lover!
Remember, order early and order often to help benefit the Esopus Meadows light.
