I have just finished the financial statement for this year's WACKO Pin and I am happy to report that as of right now our donation from the sale of this year's pin is $1502.46

There were a few extra pins ordered this year to help meet our quota. Once they are sold an additional check will be sent and I will update the amount raised. If you would like to purchase one, please let me know.

Thanks to everyone who supported this year's Wacko Pin Project benefiting Esopus Meadows Lighthouse in New York.

Special thanks goes to Kim Andrews and Harbour Lights for allowing this committee to make use of their lighthouse sculpture images. Photography for the pin was courtesy of Paul Brady. Thanks Paul. Pin manufacturing was coordinated by Cliff Olsen, K.E.E.P. Company, Bryantville, MA. Thanks Cliff. The "Professor", our volunteer graphic designer, was responsible for the innovative pin design. Thanks "Professor". Barb Hupp and Lamar Bevil provided both advice and technical assistance. Thanks Barb and Lamar.

And finally, an extra big THANK YOU to Dennis Whelan and Ruthie Cooper for being on the committee. Without their assistance the pin would not have happened this year.

Darlene Cook, Chairperson
Wacko Pin Committee

Hi Lady Bug,
I would like to buy a pin. Tell me where to sent the money and who to make out the check to Or I can do paypal.
Suggestion for next time. Email all the people on the forum when order time comes. I got real busy and missed it this year.
THANKS for all your hard work.

Yes, Darlene, a great job done by you and the whole committee. I now have three Wacko pins. Wished I had started our collecting earlier then we did so that I could have had them all.

Hello again Lady Bug,
I ordered a pin via Pay Pal. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks Eric for your support -- would you like it mailed or hand delivered I plan to be in Orlando on September 14th; perhaps you could give me some pointers on best lights to see. All joking aside, I will put your pin in the mail in the next couple of days or so.
Darlene

FANTASTIC!

Hi LADYBUG,
just read your post from 8-20. It seems coming to Orlando on the 14th may not be a good time. Hurricane Ivan may be here to greet you. In case you don't know Jupiter is closed to climbing due to repairs needed for the steps.
