On August 14, 2005, the Avery Point Lighthouse Society made the following
announcement:
"Due to unanticipated delays in the restoration construction, the relighting
and rededication ceremony of the Avery Point Lighthouse, scheduled for
September 24, 2005, has been postponed until the restoration work and
installation of the dedication brick walkway are 100% complete.
The Avery Point Lighthouse Society (APLS) regrets any inconvenience which
may have been caused by this postponement; however, APLS feels that the
thousands of individuals who have contributed to the project deserve to have
the lighthouse and walkway completed prior to any ceremony being conducted.
Once the work is completed and a new date for the ceremony is established,
appropriate announcements will be made through various media sources and the
APLS Web Site ( )."
