Help Save Our Lighthouse
Hey everyone---vote for my lighthouse please!
The Thomas Point Lighthouse off of Annapolis has been turned over from the U.S Coast Guard to a preservation group.
Jeld-Wen Windows and doors has selected Thomas Point as a finalist for FREE, architecturally correct windows and doors.
It is now a popularity contest of the seven finalists to see which will get the free restoration support from Jeld-Wen.
Few landmarks in Maryland are as well known as the Thomas Point lighthouse, so PLEASE go to the web site and vote for it.
There has been a huge volunteer effort to stabilize the lighthouse and arrest the current deterioration. Several friends and I have been donating time and effort for preservation/restoration. All of the funds are privately donated and have been the sole source so far. This effort will run several hundreds of thousands of dollars so this would be a huge boost in the effort.
The link is http://www.jeld-wen.com/lighthouse/
Thanks everyone!!! Vote early and vote often!

Maybe it's been a while since I've driven to MD, but I remember the "Welcome To Maryland" sign on 95 South having a picture of the Thomas Point Light. It's a unique lighthouse in that it's not tall but it doesn't need to be tall. I've been there.
How can we vote? The link you gave has a "thank you for voting". Is it over? Who won? Which other lighthouses were in contention?
