From an email: Hi good friends and anyone who cares about historical structures; such as lighthouses.
A final project of my Public Relations course this semester has spurred my attention. The Dutch Island Lighthouse seen easily as motorists pass over the Jamestown Bridge is in dire need of restoration. It was built in 1857 and was abandoned after being vandalized in 1979. It has served the public well, specifically, for military purposes during the Civil War and for personnel housing during World War I.
It is now quite a site for sore eyes!
There is a plan of action through public relations efforts and $12,000 has been raised. However $106,000 needs to be raised!
This historic structure can be saved with all our help. My proposal is a request to all who read this: please send $1.00 to the following address:
Dutch Island Lighthouse Society
PO Box 40151
Providence, Rhode Island 02940
With all of your help this historic structure will be saved and will be a grand sight for all in the future. Thank you.
Warm regards, Keely Subin
