Message from Friends of Pomham Rocks
Lighthouse Chairman

Time moves on. Spring 2007 is a memory,
summer is fleeting as we already see the slight hint of fall foliage
color.
The Friends of Pomham Rocks have finally
gotten a lawn mower and weed whacker to the island along with sporadic
cutting and trimming of the grounds to keep grass and brush from

overtaking the property. Access to the island remains limited and so our
visits are strictly low-key.
Preliminary discussions by your board have
begun to consider the possible restoration of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse
pier.
Also, to assure you, a portion of your funds
is allocated in our yearly budget to upkeep the lighthouse structures.
Professional inspection and preventive maintenance is conducted twice
yearly.
There has also been an attempt by our Pomham
Events committee to involve our members and friends in social/fund raising
activities as evidenced by the June clambake ($1700 for the cause), the
upcoming October dinner cruise and an ongoing companion public lecture
series with the cooperation of the Riverside Public Library. The theme being
related lighthouse/maritime subject matter.

with lighthouse themed sunset and all-day narrated program cruises aboard

vessel, the Aletta Morris. Pomham Rocks
Lighthouse is showcased as we "bridge build" and earn some income
for our FPRL restoration project.
There are rumors about the development
of a Pomham Rocks Lighthouse cookbook sometime next year. We'll need
favorite member recipes. Some |

folks have expressed the desire for a FPRL family pot luck Christmas
gathering. Location needed. Some, a Pomham member cookout somewhere in
Riverside by the Bay next year, as well. These could be annual events.
Your Board is asking your help to make
programming and gatherings of this type an actual reality and success.
Please involve yourselves for the good of the cause, fun and a beautiful
lighthouse in your neighborhood. Thank you for all you do.
Respectfully,
Don
Doucette, Chairperson
