Earlier we discused trading pins. If there is anyone out there that wants a paticular pin from Fl, please let me know & I will do my best to get it for you. I would either sell it to you for my cost or trade it for one from your area?
I know St Mark, Jupiter, Boca Grande, St Augustine, & Ponce are available. If there is a desire for another one I will try to get it for you.

Gail -- I will trade a Mukilteo, WA pin for Jupiter or Boca Grande. Thanks. Darlene

Gail, please bring extras! I will trade or buy the ones I need! I have Ponce, but I need the rest! Everyone please bring pins! I have many to trade!

Hi Gail,

I'm glad you brought this thread back up. I started a pin trading tread last year about trading pins at the reunion. I had mentioned that I was going to bring 2002 Salt Lake Olympic pins to trade since that event is happening where I live. I would like to trade for any pins that people bring to the reunion. Any lighthouse pin would be fun to trade for.

I am bringing this topic forward since the reunion is around the corner. Anyone out there wanting to trade pins should bring them for trading at the reunion.

There have been different lighthouse pins mentioned for trading. I am bringing the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic pins to trade. I have about 25 purchased so come find me if any of you want one.

On Saturday, I was at an Olympic pin trading show and saw neck lanyards for holding pins on. They also had a clip on the end for name badges. I thought I would get one for Baltimore to trade pins but to also hold my name badge that Dave is making up. They are black and have a small Olympic insignia on them. They run $10 if anyone is interested in having me pick them one up to bring to Baltimore.

I will be bringing pins to trade also. I have mostly Door County lighthouse pins, but do have a few others also.

Hi Lorie,
I need two Lanyards if you can get them,will pay in advance if you desire.
For anyone who is interested I can trade most all of Oregon lights for other pins I don't have.Let me know of any specifics as we are making a LH pin run down the coast the
second week in Sept

I will be bringing pins from Mukilteo Lighthouse to trade.
Darlene

JoAnn,
How about a Coquille for a Split Rock?

TD

I will be bringing 5 pewter pins from Long Island - Long Beach Bar, Orient Point, Race Rock, Cedar Island, and Plum Island to trade.

Gail,is it possible to get a Hillsboro pin? I also need a Boca Grande pin.thanks,JoAnn

TD,Coquille for Split Rock is a deal!

Hi JoAnn,
I'll bring you the 2 lanyards to Baltimore. I don't have any pins from Oregon so would you want to trade $20 worth of lighthouse pins for the 2 lanyards?

I have a few sets of the 1995 lighthouse stamps(5 in a set)that were made into pins for trade or sale. I also have a few that were made from the 1990 lighthouse stamps available, but not full sets. These are very nice looking pins. Hopefully I can find some more before the reunion. Anyone wanting some of these, please let me know and I will try to get some more!

Hi Gail,

I really am interested in getting some pins from Florida! I have been to Jupiter, Boca Grande, Cape Florida, Key West, Hillsboro Inlet, Sanibel Island. I didn't start collecting pins until this summer. I will be driving back to Florida after the reunion with my friend. We are going to stop and see some lighthouses on the north- east coast of Florida. I would love to have some pins from Florida being I don't have any.

Thanks,
Geri De Vito

------------------

I'm just posting here to let everyone know that I will also have some pins to trade at Baltimore. See you there!

Jakers

Are we talking about the cloissone (sp?)pins, or just the buttons with pins? I may need to take a short drive to the coast to pick up some Oregon pins but I would like to know what kind people are interested in.
Ok, I know I am a little disorganized. I can't find my reunion info and I need to know the name of the hotel at which it is being held. Any help? .

Gail,
If you could find a Hillsboro Inlet Pin, I would appreciate it. It does not necessarily have to be for the reunion. I'm sure I will see you @ an TBHLCC event!

------------------

BUZ, I have never seen a pin for Hillsboro, but I will keep my eyes open. If I can find one I will get it for you.

TGIFIF

Since many of us are exchanging lighthouse pins at the Reunion why don't we meet at the Thurs.night coffee along with scrapbooking?

Good idea JoAnn. I'll see you there. Darlene

I have the following pins to trade:
Cana Island, Wisconsin
Eagle Bluff, Wisconsin
Raspberry Island, Wisconsin
Door County Lighthouse Walk
Door County lighthouses on one pin
West Quoddy, Maine
Avon lighthouse pin
Wisconsin State outline with Football & Rose

Sounds good JoAnn! I will have mine to trade!
Hopefully we will have lots of people who will participate in this endeavor! I noticed Jakers had lots of them on his suspenders in Chicago. Maybe he has more to trade!

hi Gail if you collect pins I have one you wont see on every one it isn't a light tho it is from the riechstag in Berlin in brass if you would like one let me know also know where you can get some clossoine pins from the great lakes.Bill O'Brien

Thanks to everyone who I traded pins with. It was great fun!

Suzanne

I also want to thank the people who brought pins to sell or trade. I got many new pins and still have some left for future trades. Maybe we can try and do this again at future regionals. I know there were some people I didn't get to see or trade pins with. This was great fun! Keep it in mind for future events!

Due to the scrapbooking project, I did not get to trade pins as I had planned. I do have some Mukilteo pins if anyone is interested in trading through the mail.

Trading pins with other Wackos was really fun. There was some real dealing going on which made for an interesting way to end the first night. I would without a doubt do that again.

Randy - I never saw the pins you had to trade. Did you trade them on the bus?

Suzanne

Suzanne, I was trading them at different times during the weekend. I should have written down names of everyone who showed interest in this! I didn't know you had pins to trade. Maybe some of us who still have pins can trade via US mail. Any other ideas?

I would like to have the ones you have mentioned in this post and any from the West Coast.

As many times as I talked to you Randy, I didn't know you had pins to trade I am going to Hawaii in Nov. for Thanksgiving. I will be in Oahu and Kauai. I hope to find some lighthouse pins there. If anyone is interested in having one let me know.

Lorie, I asked you about trading pins at the first lighthouse we saw on the first bus trip! You said you only had Olympic pins. If you find some in Hawaii, I would be happy to trade the ones I have left with you!

Dear Gail,
This is the first chance I've had to thank you for bringing the Florida pins to the reunion that I had asked you about. I truly appreciated it and enjoyed having the opportunity of meeting you. Hope to see you again soon.
JoanieO

JOANIEO, & everyone else, I had a GREAT time bringing pins to people & trading pins with people. THANKS!!!!! C ya'll next reunion?
