We will of course share images of the Lighting and Party with our friends and members who can't make it to Michigan City to join us in the fun...

edited to make email difficult to harvest . . .

Until we get the uploading issue fixed, I will just upload a couple of images from our 10th lighting of the Christmas lights at the Old Michigan City Lighthouse/Museum... First is a group shot of those who braved the windy cold conditions, then the 2nd image will show the added lights this year to the lighthouse..

You're looking very tall and slim Paul. I hope it's not caused by your injured Colts(tic)??

Snow on the roof looks neat. I myself was at Montauk on Friday at sunset, photograghing thier Christmas Lights. It will be my 2010 Christmas card.

Bob, you forgot to mention that I was wearing my 2006 Super Bowl winning Colts Jacket!!

Sure A Johnny come lately!
I have a 1969 JETS Super Bowl Jacket!LOL

BBBBRRRRRRRRRR sure looks cold there...everyone is bundled up

Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures from the party...

What's that on your face Paul. Last time I saw you that wasn't there!

We all missed you Steve. Sure wish you could have joined us.

I had the best time seeing old friends and visiting the lighthouse in the snow. Great party! Thank You for inviting me! It was probably the coldest weather I've ever been in and the first time I've ever seen REAL snow! But it was GREAT!!

Can't wait to see the rest of your picture Paul.

It was great that you could join us Stephanie... I hope to be able to upload some more images soon..

Received the DVD Paul. Thanks for thinking of us. It sure brought back some good memories and also made me realize how long I have been out of touch.

Here are some images from our 10th annual Christmas gathering after the lighting at the Old Michigan City Lighthouse/Museum..

More images from the party..

The party was a great time once again..

In addition to Fun, Food and Friends, I showed a slide-show of over 400 images that ran 26 minutes of the first 10 years of the Hoosier Lighthousing Club Events and Meetings..

Sue and I also gave each member of the Club a DVD of the slide-show to take home with them..

I believe the head count at the party was 39 people..

I think I'll move to Indiana. You folks have way good parties and lots of fun! Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas from the Hoosier Lighthousing Club celebrating 10 years of lighting the Christmas Lights at the Old Michigan City Lighthouse/Museum!!

These pictures are great and as always it makes me wish I had attended. At least I was able to get a DVD of the last 10yrs of the Hoosier Club (since I am a member) and I must say Paul outdid himself, it was truly AWESOME! You all do so much work every year to make OMC beautiful. What a great group of friends.

Here's to all of you...Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

The quilt is lovely. Is the quilter someone who is on the Form?

Looks like a great party !!!

Congratulations on 10 years !!!

That's the Quilting Kat, Kat Waterson, who is a member of the Club and the Forums.. That's her on the right holding the Quilt up.. She has done some beautiful quilts over the years as money makers for the Club..

Kat has a Quilting business and is online..

Quilting Kat

We raised over $900 selling tickets for the quilt and a couple of AP's that the Bradys donated to the Event..

One image that I forgot to post earlier is the ceremonial flipping of the switch, turning on the Christmas Lights at the lighthouse for the 2010 Christmas season by the new Director, Laura, of the Michigan City Historical Society..

Everyone looked like they were in a festive mood and having a great time. Wish I could have attended as well. Congratulations on 10 years!

Wow! I checked out Kat's website. I knew she was amazing at Quilting -- but had no idea she had such a going business!

Sorry I didn't know they lived in Auburn when I made my trip back to Michigan.

I stopped and spent a couple of hours at the fabulous Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Museum. Would have stopped and said to Kat & Larry if I had but known.

It was a great party, and so much fun seeing everyone again!
My Grandson Gio climbed his first lighthouse that day, and Autumn climbed her 8th Lighthouse, I believe!

It really was a great weekend, with people from 8 states attending (IN, MI, OH, MO, WI, GA, FL, AL). Really great having friends from such an area gather for the weekend. Lots of time spent socializing, especially with the addition of our hospitality room the past year.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Cindy Cole and Shellie Breen for the terrific work they did in putting together the 10th anniversary HLC Christmas Gathering of Friends...it was awesome!!

For those going on the Alaskan cruise, maybe we can have an Alaskan regatta?
