Lighthouse Work Parties Confirmed

The first two work parties have been confirmed for the Pilot Bay Lighthouse painting project.
1. On Friday Apr 26, we will be on the ferry at 8:10 to go pressure wash the outside. We'll need a couple of other volunteers besides myself to help pull the washer up to the lighthouse, hold the ladder and generally get a little damp.
2. Weather permitting, the second work party will be a three day affair starting on May 11 and running through the weekend. It is NOT necessary to commit to all three days. The goal at the end of the three days will be to have the cupola and the railings painted and to get the bottom of the building painted up to 8 or 10 feet. That will allow the building to be re-opened to the public. The rest of the painting will be scheduled for later in May.If you can, please consider coming out to help. We had a fun weekend last time with lots of laughs in good company.
