Can anyone tell me about these two sites:

U.S. Life-Saving Service Heritage Association , P.O. Box 75, Caledonia, MI 49316-0075
$25 for Life-Saver membership

U.S. Life-Saving Service Heritage Association , 158 Polpis Road, Nantucket, MA 02554-2320
$35 for Life-Saver membership mailed to Treasurer, USLSSHA, PO Box 1854, Anna Maria, FL 34216-1854

Except for mailing addresses and membership $ amounts, they appear to be for the same organization. Is one simply a page with out-of-date information or has this group had a schism, with both successors to the original operating under the same name but in different states?

I am interested in joining, but want to know first if one of these is not legit.

The web page with the $25 amount and MI address was posted in 1996 and the MA link with the $35 was posted in May of this year...

I am thinking same organization and nobody updated the old information..

This is the actual Homepage for the organization.. the page expires the end of this month...

U.S.L.S.S.H.A.

The top one is from the Selkirk, NY Light's site. This site has not been updated since 1998 or so. There is a page there for most of the Lighthouse Societies from that time. Unfortunately, too many times, that is referred to as the "official" site for a group. I have yet to see a link to the USLHS that's NOT to Selkirk.

Now, why Selkirk's website is hosted by maine.com is something to ponder... confused
