2003 Wacko Badges - Part 2 #3461 03/16/03 12:44 AM

OP Dave H Saint Joined: Dec 1969 Posts: 7,893 Kokomo, IN	This is a continuation of the original thread about our 2003 Wacko Badges. This very special (and very limited edition) of Harbour Lights related items will help to preserve Bodie Island Light, the light selected by Forum members to be represented on the Wacko pin. Every penny we can raise to help this light will help to preserve a great piece of our maritime history. Maybe one day we will see this light re-opened for climbing because we helped. Allow me to borrow from Mombo's post in the original thread: "The purpose of the badge is to help identify ourselves when we attend signings, regionals, any time more than one wacko is to be in attendance. You do not have to be an official wacko to purchase one. So if your spouse, kids, mother-in-law are going to tag along get them a badge. The money all goes to the lighthouse. In order not to forget to bring your badge to events you may decide to wear it all the time. That's ok as they should be waterproof. (You may want to tuck it inside your clothing when riding public transportation, attending peace rallies, animal rights protests, etc.) Anyone caught ordering a badge and not wearing it to an event by another badge carrying wacko will have to face the consequences." Order your 2003 Wacko Badge here (There is a lot more info on this project on the above link, including how to get the opportunity to win a 11" x 14" print of the Bruce Roberts image used on the badge. How often do you get to see an OBX light surrounded by snow???) You can order just a badge ($6) or badge and a lanyard with "Harbour Lights Wacko" printed all along it's length ($9). Shipping is include. You will have the option to use PayPal to pay for your purchase, or you will be directed where to send your payment. If you send payment via mail, please be sure to include your screen name and mailing info on a seperate piece of paper with your check! We have also created a spin off of this project, giving you the opportunity to purchase a 11" x 14" copy of this great photo. Full details can be found here . Dave

All badges ordered thru late last week (and paid for) have been mailed. Most were mailed Saturday, few mailed this morning. Dave

It went over well with several of the other attendees- both visually and in it's purpose. I pushed both the Badge and the Wacko Pins- Ishowed them the Southeast block and Morris Island pins. I may have gotten a few more people to stop in and check out the forums. Dennis

And the badges are a perfect 'conversation starter' Our membership has really grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and I've gotten indications that some of that growth is from people attending events and learning about the Forums from people talking it up. Keep up the good work, gang!! Webmaster@LighthouseKeepers.com

By chance, was he wearing his badge? As we all know, the more badges and pins and prints we move, the more money we raise to help the Bodie Island Light, so thanks all for your help. Dave

Jim, yours is in the mail as of this morning, as are those for everyone who ordered and paid as of yesterday. The folks at the post office just hate the weird envelopes when they contain lanyards. One person tried to tell me they were too thick to be considered standard mail, so I wrapped them a little more snugly. . . Thanks everyone for a great start. Don't forget we have a regional event coming up in less than a month and you want to be sure you aren't "out of uniform" for it! While you are ordering, don't forget your pin and print so we can help Bodie Island get restored! Dave

For all you folks planning on going to the Florida Regional event, you need to think about getting that badge ordered so you can get it in time. Do you want to be the only Wacko there without a current name badge???? Dave

Now you can just write the names of the WACKOs who have ordered badges on those scraps and... Pick a winner of the Bruce Roberts limited edition photo that appears on our badges. Don't forget I paid for Bill, Nancy, and Kim's badges in case their names come up as winners. And did I pay for Little Red's badge too? Maybe you can announce the winner at the Wednesday night chat. And tell us then how much our WACKO badges have raised for Bodie so far. Everybody wear your badges to the chat tonight @ 9 PM ET. P.S. Got any lanyards left? Webmaster@LighthouseKeepers.com

So I think I'm all set. Thanks for the heads-up, though.

I will figure out how we are going to pick a winner of the wonderful picture by the end of the weekend. Everyone who had orders in by the time I came homw last night will be in the drawing. By the way, Bill, since you used our badge thread to tell folks you ordered a Wacko pin, I know you are also planning to order a badge. . . . Saint Agitator
