Eric,
Yes and Yes.

Also I understand your frustrations of no response! I too have so many times emailed the so-called leaders of the Alabama Lighthouse Association and got no response. I've been trying to get information out of them on how I could get involved with the group. I have offered my services in anyway that they could use me and my labors. And still no response.

However, I think (I hope) things are beginning to change. I went to my first Association meeting last Monday night. I have paid my Association Membership Fees for the last two years and this was the first meeting that I was informed of. It went well, and although the group is very small they are heading in the right direction towards getting things done. I guess it was just a matter of getting their ducks in a row. At least that's what I hope!

But yes, I will keep all informed of any new news as I learn of it. Hopefuly I will be a part of it.
