I've been reading this thread with a great deal of interest and there's certainly a lot to think about.

I don't belong to a Collector's Club, other than Harbour Lights own. I do belong to a couple of national or state lighthouse organizations. I received my FLA Flash from the Florida Lighthouse Association about the same time as I received my Legacy. One of the items that brought a smile to my usually sour puss was a note that the Smoky Mountain Flame Keepers, a large HL collector club from Tennessee (no lighthouses there), had sent a $1,000 donation to the fund raising effort that the FLA was sponsoring for St. Marks, FL lighthouse.
