This has been too long coming to you, for which I apologize. With that said, allow me to introduce you to the new, improved 2005 Wacko Badge. This year we are featuring Pottawatomie Lighthouse, on Rock Island in Door County, WI. Thanks to Suzanne Murphy for providing the picture that we are using. Thanks to all who sent Dennis pictures for us to choose from – you made the choice difficult. This year there is a change to how the picture is displayed on the badge. A “brushstroke” effect was applied to the picture to give this year’s badge a little different appearance than past years. The 2004 Wacko Badge generated a contribution of $750 to Esopus Meadows on behalf of the Connected Collector Family. I want to thank each of you who did purchase a badge in 2004 to help Esopus Meadows, and encourage you to also participate in the 2005 project. With the Wacko Pin not being produced this year, the badge will be the main project to support lighthouse preservation by Collector Forums members. As a group you chose to support Pottawatomie, a light championed by member Jim Johnston for many years. I’m sure a few of you remember JJ standing up at the back of a Bill seminar and waving his Pottawatomie poster encouraging production of a Harbour Lights model. Hopefully this wish will soon come true. Since this is the main preservation fund raising project for this year I have decided to absorb all the costs of production for the badge, including supplies, postage and PayPal fees. Every penny coming into this project will pass thru to support Pottawatomie. I am counting on all of you to help make this project a successful one by purchasing your official Wacko Badge. For those of you planning on attending the St. Augustine festivities, please send me an email at b a d g e s @lighthousekeepers.com (take out the spaces…they were added to make the email harvesters job more difficult...) I will make sure you get your badges as long as I have the info in time to get the badges mailed to you. Hopefully John will be along in the near future and post a link to the order page..

I like the brushstroke technique! Adds a modern, sophisticated look to the badge. Next thing you know, we'll be on the cover of the New York Times Style section. Just one question...are they going to be the usual $6? Thanks so much for absorbing all the costs, as well. I can appreciate it even more knowing that every penny I donate goes directly to this light.

Never has been, Greg. For those that PayPal they have to include their address. The order page instructions tell folks to include their mailing info with their check.
In my lead off post I neglected to thank Dennis for all the work he did during the selection process for this year's honoree and then he also collected pictures from folks. His help is much appreciated even though not acknowledged often enough. Paul Brady did the custom brush work application on the picture, and of course John put up the order page to round out the team effort.
Off to a good start - 36 badges ordered already. At a bargain price of $6 each, we need to sell 167 badges to contribute $1,000. First batch should be done this weekend, with plenty of time for the postal service to get your badges to you before the St. Augustine event.So,in closing,
Order early, Order often

Dave you're gonna make me blush. It's always good to work on projects here because there's always somebody ready to lend a hand when it's needed.
I'll be on the lookout for my badges next week. I won't be going to FL but it will still be nice to have the new one.
I don't think i'll need it in Vegas, though. I'm going to be looking for that Lighthouse in Las Vegas- there has to be at least one somewhere- they've got everything else.

Club Leaders -- don't forget to pass the word to the club members who aren't regular visitors to the Collector Forums.
If you haven't already done so, be sure Dave has a copy of the Club Logo. If he has one, he prints it on the back of the badge.
For those club members who aren't online, consider taking orders at your next club meeting and ordering for them.
Surely we can sell 167 badges and reach that $1,000 donation for good ol' Pottawatomie!

All the badges ordered as of this morning were put into the mail about an hour ago, except those who listed their club as WILD or Beacons of the Bay. Both those clubs are finishing up with logo development so I have held off on finishing those badges to be able to add the logos. If you are going to St. Augustine and are a Beacons of the Bay or WILD member, let me know and I will get your badge completed.
We're up to 56 ordered - still a ways to go to reach our goal. You don't have to be a Collector Forums member to order a badge, you just have to be at least a little wacko about lighthouses and want to help support lighthouse restoration.

Off to a good start - 85 badges have been ordered. Most of those who have ordered should have your badges in hand by now. We are half way to the $1000 goal. Be sure you tell your friends and club members about this great opportunity to help lighthouse preservation.
Thanks to those of you who have purchased your badges so far, and looking forward to hearing from more of you!
