Good News!! New Dungeness Light Station is one of 12 finalists in JELD-WEN'S HISTORIC RESTORATION INITIATIVE. Each year JELD-WEN, a major window and door manufacturer holds a contest among lighthouse groups to help them in their restoration efforts. The winning lighthouse will be given new windows and doors by JELD-WEN. As many of you know our Lighthouse (tower) building has a lot of windows and doors (33 windows and 5 external doors), many of them rotten and leaking.

Before we can begin serious restoration of this building we need to replace these windows and doors. Winning this contest would be fantastic. It would allow us to start the second phase of the restoration of this building (the new roof a few years back was the first stage) and set us up to fully restore the duplexes in the near future. These new windows and doors would be custom made and would meet the historical criteria required to maintain our Historical Registration.

The opportunity is there and now it is up to all of us to go to the JELD-WEN website and cast our votes for New Dungeness Light Station. Please click on the link below. It will take you to the voting area of JELD-WEN's website.

No personal information, No registration is required. 

The process should take 1 minute!

Each person is allowed only one vote. So it is important that not only we vote, but also encourage our family and friends, and even acquaintances, to vote as well! Every person that you can think of! The more votes we receive the better our chances of winning. 

Thank You for your support.
