Lighthouse News Turns One Year Old
Lighthouse News turns one year old on June 20. This site started when I would look online for news about our beloved beacons, and couldn’t find one single site that had a synopsis of stories. So, I decided to start one. This site has come a long way since its first two posts on June 20, 2007 (Park Service Seeks Volunteers and Sandy Neck Lighthouse Shines). There are now, as of this date, 305 posts spread over 46 pages. I have changed the looks several times, and have moved from shared hosting to a virtual private server. I have gained many subscribers and have had thousands of visitors. I have corresponded with some of you, and hope to speak with even more of you. So in honor of this first birthday, and to thank everyone for making this site successful, I want to give away some birthday gifts.

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.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday on your one-year anniversary! I enjoy reading the Lighthouse News when it arrives in my inbox, as well as passing it along to a friend of mine in Johannesburg, RSA who cannot seem to figure out what he’s supposed to do to get subscribed. Unfortunately, I cannot visit him there to get that accomplished for him, but I know he enjoys reading my ’second-hand copy’.

Hi Charlotte. Thanks for the good wishes. And thanks for sending the email along to your friend. I’ve been trying to help him, but he can never seem to find the verification email. Maybe one of these times. I’ll probably enter him anyway.
Good luck!
