Friends of Portsmouth Light Volunteers Enjoy a Picture-Perfect Day

 

 
 
The year 2005 has been a very successful experience for the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Light (FPHL). In addition to a record number of visitors that have enjoyed the scheduled open houses at Portsmouth Harbor Light, the chapter has also sponsored lighthouse cruises and special programs with similar success – all to

help with the preservation of the 1878 historic sentinel. None of these accomplishments would have been possible if not for the commitment and dedication demonstrated time and again by the FPHL volunteers.

 

As a sincere gesture of appreciation for their contributions of time, effort – and money too, the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Light hosted a picnic for its volunteers on September 10, 2005 at the U.S. Coast Guard Station, adjacent to their beloved lighthouse. The picture-perfect day was a superb compliment to good food and friends.

public a good educational experience at our open houses” says Friends of Portsmouth Harbor president Jeremy D’Entremont. “I am very appreciative of the fact that our volunteers give up some of their summer Sundays to help out at the lighthouse.”

 

D’Entremont went on to say, “Normally, when the public is there at the

 
 

lighthouse, things are fairly hectic and there's a good deal of pressure on the volunteers to keep things moving. I thought it would be nice for our people to have a chance to relax at the site and just enjoy themselves. I think things like this can help keep up the morale of volunteers, which in turn, of course, helps the lighthouse. Events like this also help foster camaraderie among volunteers and give people a chance to get to know each other a bit better.”

 

”I should also mention that the University of New Hampshire owns the picnic area, and it was very gracious of them to allow us to use it,” says D’Entremont. “The Coast Guard was also very cooperative with our plans for the picnic.”
