Lighthouse Needs and Wants
Updated December 27, 2011
Specific Items
- A Special THANK YOU to the Pontius and Wedding families for donating bed linens!!
- Another THANKS to Joe Tonn for donating new binoculars for the Keeper's Quarters!
- We
have replaced 33 wine glasses in a 5-month period! In order
to keep Keeper fees constant we ask that upcoming Keepers consider
donating a set of nice wine glasses. Call Chad at (360) 683-6638 if
you can help. This will probably be an on-going request unless we
can replace faster than we break....
- The "Digital Picture Frame" slideshow display in the Interpretive Center has become too faded to see our pictures. Here is the website for the current model.
- We need an electric Hand Dryer for the public restroom. A dryer would allow us to stop using cloth towels. These towels currently require constant Keeper replacement and laundering. We would want a good quality unit. like THIS ONE (website).
