With Guest Speaker, Former Canadian Coast Guard Lightkeeper Chris Mills
Saturday evening, May 17 6:30 p.m.
Portsmouth Elks Lodge, 500 Jones Ave., Portsmouth, NH
Buffet dinner featuring garden salad, baked stuffed haddock, chicken
breast with fruit glaze, roast beef, stir-fried vegetables, oven roasted potatoes, rolls and butter, coffee and tea, and dessert. Cash bar.
The featured speaker at the dinner will be Chris Mills, author, former lighthouse keeper, and preservationist from Nova Scotia. Chris served as a keeper for the Canadian Coast Guard on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. He is the author of the acclaimed book Vanishing Lights and his latest book, Lighthouse Legacies, which tells the story of how lighthouse keepers and their families lived until the 1960s: without electricity, exposed to the fury of the sea, and always at the service of the mariner.
Chris is a founding member of the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society and editor of the organization’s newsletter, The Lightkeeper. He has also worked as a broadcast journalist. Chris’s multimedia presentation will be based on his lightkeeping experience, with excerpts from the many interviews he’s conducted.
The evening will also include a presentation on the latest preservation efforts of ALF and its chapters. Seating limited to 180 people. Tickets $45 for adults, $35 for children 12 and under.

If you’re in New South Wales, Australia, on Sunday, October 19, get out your running shoes for the very scenic Run For Breast Cancer. The Coordinator for the event wants to see at least five runners or walkers for each breast cancer patient on the North Coast. That translates to 1000 or so participants.
