Well, I am sorry to say that the response thus far has been disappointing,--which is good news for those who sent in their checks to help support the Old Michigan City lighthouse project... plus get a chance to win a gold Mark Twain Tower.
I think that Sue was hoping, when she donated the gold Mark Twain that she won, we would raise at least twice the amount that has come in so far.
We will draw some tickets for the last 3 or 4 people who have sent in their checks this afternoon and we are hoping for some last minute responses yet this week.
The drawing will be this Saturday coming up (December 7), so we will need to receive them by Friday’s mail (December 6) to qualify for the drawing..
The club is having the Second Annual Lighting of the Christmas lights at Old Michigan City lighthouse on Dec 7th. Everyone is welcome to join us. I request that you email me
wackopaul@bvimpact.com if you are coming so that we can get an accurate head count. The club is getting together for supper at a local restaurant after the lighting of the lights and we really need to know how many will be coming.
The gathering at the lighthouse will start about 4pm Michigan City time and the lighting will be at dusk, which will probably be before 6pm..
