Here's the artwork from which the pin will be made.

Looks Great!
Can't wait to order mine. Since I'm relatively new to the Collector's Forum, I missed out on the first two Wacko pins.
JoanieO

Bravo-- I especially like the way it is shaped!

How do we order one of thies?

Stephanie

Instructions will be posted Stephanie, stay tuned.

Hi, Stephanie: I can see that you will be one of our first eager pin customers --- I just answered you on the Club News section. An order form and directions will be posted very soon along with a link to our brand new wacko pin webpage which will give all of the details and some great lighthouse information and photos. This will truly be a beautiful collectible pin. Just keep checking this site for the unveiling.

Thanks for your interest in helping to Keep the Flame burning at Southeast.

Barb,
You were right I had the pin confused with the badge. I will want two pins. One for me and the other for my wife Betty. We just have to keep track of who wins the LE, me or her.

See the revised first post in this thread for ordering information. Thanks to all of you for supporting this project.

I must have missed this information somehow but who do we make our check out to for our pin order?

Thanks Darlene. My check will be in the mail first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of SE Block Island and the annual Wacko Pin project. If you haven't yet seen images of the 2002 pin and a history of the Wacko Pin project, take this link, 2002 Wacko Pin to see it all and place your order.

Thank you all again,
The Wacko Pin Committee

Come one come all...it's time to order the Great WACKO pin ...What a great pin it is too...Southeast Block Island Lighthouse will be so pleased when they receive such a great donation. Don't wait till the last minute to order yours or you could miss out.

Checks on the way posted it this morning. Now I know the difference between a pin and a badge.

Hey WackoPin I have a question-

I live in NJ and I try and keep up on these things, but I never heard of a NJ or a NY HL Club.

Anybody out there know who listed these organizations and where I can find them?

Dennis

More 2002 Wacko Pin odds 'n ends.

Top three states from which order forms have been submitted:

1 - Florida
2 - New York
3 - Texas

None from Rhode Island, where SE Block is located. Where's that home state spirit?

WackoPin

Sorry it took solong Darlene have been busy lately but check is in the mail.Bill O'Brien

Dennis

I thought the same thing when I saw the listing for the NJ HL club. If there is one I would be interested.

Hank

I asked WakoPin about it and was told that an e-mail would be sent to the individual that listed those Clubs on their order form.

I'm awaiting a response.

Dennis

Dennis - I too am curious about the NJ and NY clubs. Hope you hear something soon.
