Margret, not to be picky here but I believe you and Stan have joined the HL Collector's Society. Collector Clubs are regional organizations comprised of HL collectors and non collectors who get together at meetings, sometimes hold outings and usually raise funds for lighthouse preservation. These clubs welcome members from outside their region. They are recognised by HL as HL Collector Clubs. This collector forum is recognized as a club also, so technically you do belong to a collector club!
