2024 Lobster Roll Dinner Fundraiser Wrap-Up A big thanks to our community for tremendous support of our annual Lobster Roll Dinner fundraiser. Not only were the dinner tickets sold out, we raised an additional $400 from the Bake Sale and Chance Raffle. With the addition of the generous sponsorship by Valley Credit Union, together we raised nearly $4,000 towards operating expenses and the ongoing restoration of the Schafner Point Lighthouse. If you baked a pie or a bake sale item we thank you! To those Lighthouse Association board members and volunteers that gave many hours of work in the kitchen and setting up for and managing the event, hat's off to you!
Volunteer Robert Redden piped through rain showers and Stephen Klein dazzled with his fiddle music at the hall.
The support of our local businesses was outstanding. A BIG THANKS to:
A successful event and wonderful community effort!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ON SALE NOW! Exclusive Limited Edition Handmade Executive Pens from Reclaimed Lighthouse Wood
Last fall, woodworker Bruce Amero contacted PRLA with an idea. He offered to craft executive pens from old wood that came out of the lighthouse during the renovation. We were touched and delighted by the suggestion, and carefully placed wood aside for the job.
These handmade refillable pens are now complete, and there are 10 of them available for purchase at $100 each. The commemorative pens are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by craftsman Bruce. Each one is unique, and comes in a lovely gift box.
To purchase a pen, please contact PRLA by phone 902-955-1955 (not text enabled) or email: [email protected].
Thank you Bruce for this generous and creative gesture of support.
