Dear Ron---Sounds great!!! Glad to see NELL into the fray. Good luck to all who enter. Frank

The check is in the mail. I like drawings, even though I don't win. Anyway, the money goes to the right place.

Sarge, you never know this could be the lucky one for you. Thank you for participating and supporting lighthouse preservation. Good Luck!!

Thank you Daniel, we are looking forward to seeing you there. I'll save you some tickets at the NELL table at the event.

And the winner is (along with Lighthouse preservation )

Melody,

I can't answer how much was raised for Lighthouse Preservation, but I can tell you who won the St Augustine LE-

It was Rick Korycinski (kory63) of the Forums who won it. He got it signed by Bill, Nancy & Kim right after he won. He was the next to last person to get something signed at the Regional. A St Augustine Police Officer was the last person.

I'm sure Ron (or someone else in the know with NELL) will post the other info. He's probably in Key West by now. He may not have access to the internet right now.

Dennis

Thanks for the update Dennis. I do hope the opportunity was a good fund raiser for NELL!

And Congrats to Kory63!

And The Winner Is…
Rick Korycinski



Rick Korycinski (r) accepts the first place prize of the original St. Augustine (HL138), from Lee Hall at the Harbour Lights St. Augustine Regional Event. CONGRATULATIONS RICK!!

Congratulations also go to:
2nd Place - 6-pin Set New England Lighthouses – Melody Barnhardt
3rd Place – Portsmouth Harbor LE/Signed Print & Note Cards – Cliff Olson

Thanks to Frank Carbone, who donated the St. Augustine, and to ALL of the folks who supported this fundraiser, $598 was raised for lighthouse preservation.

The Harbour Regional Event was full of many fun things, not the least of which was a chance to spend time with our favorite lighthouse family, Kim, Nancy & Bill. It was great to meet new lighthouse lovers and chat with old friends who we haven’t seen in awhile.

I apologize for not posting sooner but, as Dennis speculated, we spent a week in Florida after the Regional and just arrived home this past weekend. I will post some more images of the event in the near future.

Ron,

Anytime you have the chance to see more lights, hey grab it!! Hope the rest of your trip was as nice as others have said the event was.

$598, thats great. any specifics on what the $$ will go towards?

Thanks for the opportunity for those of us who were unable to attend the event to participate in some way! Can't wait to see the pins

Hey, Mel, looks like you came out of the raffle with a nice set of lighthouse pins. Congrats to all the winners, especially lighthouse preservation. Thanks NELL and Frank for holding the raffle.

I'm happy

Ron & all my new NELL brothers & sisters,
Just got back from Fla. and the regional myself.
I'm proud to be the winner of the St. Augustine donated by Frank. THANKS FRANK!!!!
I was late finding HL's and the Society so don't have many of the original lights. Am always looking for an opportunity to acquire one reasonably and don't really mind joining every raffle I can find especially when proceeds are for LH preservation. It was great to have the opportunity to win one, and even better to be the winner.
Really enjoyed the regional, the people we met and becoming a new member of NELL.
Thanks again,
Rick Korycinski

Received the pin set in the mail today! This is a really great set of pins, very nice enamel work. Thanks to the fine folks at NELL. If you collect Lighthouse pins, visit the NELL website take a look at them and buy a set.

Just so you have the link...
