Already voted and passed it on to all I know. But, thanks for posting. I hope more will vote for our lighthouse. The free windows will help reduce the project cost.

Lakefront Lighthouse Please pardon me if someone has sent this out already. I hadn't seen it until it was sent to me today by a highschool classmate. I thought some of you might be interested in casting a vote to help save this piece of our New Orleans heritage. Kathleen in Connecticut by way of New Orleans New Orleans Lakefront Lighthouse- I'm hoping ya'll will take a sec, (and it only takes a sec) to help out. The lighthouse on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans was destroyed by Katrina. Built in the 1890s, the lighthouse has been a lakefront landmark for years, guiding boats in and out of the Orleans Marina and the Municipal Yacht Harbor. Some of the original materials were salvaged and they're trying to rebuild it but of course it takes money the city doesn't have right now. There is a company that restores lighthouses and has a contest going on right now to donate new windows and doors for a lighthouse in need of restoration, and the Canal lighthouse is on the list! PLEASE help out and vote for New Orleans!! Look for the VOTE button about a quarter way down the page. www.jeld-wen.com/lighthouse ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LAORLEAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
