Dear Lighthouse Fans,

This is my very first post and I'd like to forward this message to you...

As the winter months are approaching, it will be harder and harder to find volunteers. We need your help now more then ever. This year was a great year as we have raised close to $21,000. But it does not stop there; we’re approaching one-third of the way to fully securing and restoring the exterior. We couldn't have done it without the support from our friends in Saunderstown and Jamestown. It has been my dream since the beginning of this project to make a beautiful white lighthouse on all sides to enjoy, (with a working light of course). And if we keep the donations coming in we'll have the lighthouse fixed in no time! If it’s been a year or more since your donation please take this time to visit our website at www.dutchislandlighthouse.org and renew your membership. Every donation large and small helps us reach our goal.

Speaking of our website… We've added the official DILS Gift Shop. Why leave home to do your holiday lighthouse shopping? Just point and click and you can get some of your favorite Dutch Island Merchandise. All of the proceeds from our Gift Shop go directly into the restoration of the lighthouse. Check it out today http://www.lighthouse.cc/DILS/gifts.html

Thanks for your time

Sincerely,

Dave

Dave, it's nice to see you on the Collector Forums. You will find that the people here all love lighthouses and that you will soon feel like family.

Please, check out the following thread, where many people check to see who is new and to welcome them aboard (as some have done here). I encourage you to post on the following thread alittle about yourself and you will find out more about those 'family' members who are here.
