The Board of Directors of the Long Island Chapter has announced
that there will not be a Long Island Lighthouse Challenge in 2010.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to attract enough volunteers
to support the large planning effort and operational staffing
required for such a large event. It is hoped that the Challenge
can be revived in subsequent years. We wish to express our appreciation
to all who participated in the challenge weekends and those who
invested their time and effort to assure the success of the challenges
over the past five years. If you are interested in volunteering
to help with a future challenge project please contact us via
this e-mail
link.
