A Message from the President, Robert Owens, Jr.
It is a pleasure to take on the responsibilities as President of the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse Historical Society and I look forward to a most productive year. Our goal is to attain higher attendance and make your visiting expedience at the Lighthouse an enjoyable and rewarding time. Past President Fred Amato and the Board have put together a season of events, which will appeal to the many varied interests of our members and visitors.
It all begins on April 24th when we present "The Lighthouse Is For The Birds" with birder Bob Marcotte, of the Democrat & Chronicle, as he guides you through the river area to see the various feathered friends, attendance is limited so make reservations now. Then on May 1st, the museum opens officially for the season. The next major event on May 22nd with the First Lighthouse Keepers Festival. You'll see what kind of foods the Lighthouse Keepers wife prepared in the day. You'll get a chance to meet the Lighthouse Keeper and learn of his duties on the grounds and much more. Please check the Lighthouse calendar on our web site to see the other events scheduled for the year.
I hope to see many of you over the coming year and look forward to the best season in the history of the Lighthouse. Please let us know what other things you would like to see at your Lighthouse.
Bob
