More information as it becomes available, but for now:
There will be some special additions for this the 10th Annual NJ Lighthouse Challenge, October 17 and 18, 2009.
We hope to have two lighthouse boat trips available- one of the Raritan Bay Lighthouses in the North and one for the Delaware Bay Lighthouses in the south.
The souvenir token will be based on a Passport design- similar to the USLHS’s Passport. It’s uncertain exactly how it will be done- stickers for each LH or a stamp and pad system. The pin will probably be of a passport with a 10th on it.
