I’m pleased to announce that the Wacko Pin Committee has decided to redefine the meaning of Wacko to mean everyone who is crazy about Harbour Lights lighthouses. In other words, in the context of the Wacko Pin project, the term ‘Wacko’ has nothing to do with the number of posts made to these Fora. By doing so the upcoming Wacko 2001 pin will be available to everyone for the benefit of the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society. St. George Reef lighthouse overwhelmingly won the voting.

Since we will get to place only one order with the pin manufacturer, we ask that you please place your prepaid order no later than Saturday, September 2, 2000. Should you wish to pay by check or money order I will NOT cash or deposit your check or money order until after September 2. In case we do not receive enough orders to purchase the minimum quantity of pins, I will return your check or money order to you. If you choose to use PayPal I will of course refund your payment likewise.

I thank everyone who emailed suggestions on the Wacko Pin project. I also thank everyone who emailed me their intentions to purchase, too.

If you would like to purchase the new Wacko 2001 Pin depicting the St. George Reef, California lighthouse with the proceeds going to the benefit of this very needy lighthouse, please email me at Lamar@gs.verio.net . I will immediately send you an order form.

Thank you for your support of this project.

I'm bringing this back into view. The purchase deadline is just over two weeks away. This year, everyone is eligible and there is no quantity limit.

Way to go Lamar! I hope they all jump in!

least something like it. Thanks again.

Bringing it up again 'cause this Saturday is the deadline.

how much are the pins?
Larry

They are $15.00 each.

Have you ordered your pin? Tomorrow [September 2nd] is the deadline. Remember anyone can order and there is no limit on the number of pins. Contact Lamar at Lamar@gs.verio.net to order.

I've said this before and I'll repeat it here. All of you who have worked on this project are to be applauded. You have my admiration for your dedication as "true" lighthouse lovers.

I'm very pleased to report that the Wacko 2001 Pin Project is a "go"! We didn't sell the entire minimum order but we feel that we're close enough to continue by placing the minimum order with the pin manufacturer. If you still want one there are still a few available.

We're way off our planned schedule due to extending the ordering deadline twice and because of design problems. As soon as the design problems are worked out I'll post a scan of the design in this thread. A most generous habitué of these Fora has stepped in at the last minute to do the design after the original designer couldn't complete it.

I am going to go ahead and deposit your checks and money orders.

I’ve acknowledged each order via email. If you did not receive an email confirmation from me and you did order, please email me at Lamar@gs.verio.net and let me know. Not everyone who ordered included an email address.

Please post any questions or comments in this thread or email me and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Thank you all for your support of this project. I've talked several times with the President of the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society and he has expressed both excitement and gratitude for your support.

No, THANK YOU, for all of your efforts, and the efforts of others to get this 2001 Wacko Pin going. We who have ordered are thankful and excited.

Rusty

Another "thank you" here to all those who have worked so hard on the pins, and an encouragement to any who have not yet ordered to do so. Last year's pins were great and it's nice to know that money is going to restoration funds.
