Saturday, October 18 - Sunrise Side Lighthouse Coalition Meeting
Lighthouse from the Sunrise Side will meeting in Alpena at the Alpena Library at 10a. A great opportunity to share ideas and plans with groups from our fellow lighthouses. If you are interested in attending, contact us at 989-545-1421 to arrange carpooling.
The meeting will be held at Zion Lutheran Church at 3p.
Meet at Zion Lutheran Church at 4:30 to enjoy a potluck supper followed by the final meeting of the year. Always a fun evening!
Many hands make light work! We need volunteers to spruce up the lighthouse for our most popular event of the year, Christmas at the Lighthouse.
Visitors always enjoy seeing the lighthouse in its festive finery. From noon to 4:30p the lighthouse will be open by donation to enjoy the decorations, climb the tower, and take a look at the second floor Keeper's Quarters - the only day in the year that visitors are allowed upstairs!
