Please go to the Jen-Weld website and vote for NC’s Bodie Lighthouse to win the restoration windows. Seriously… do it now.

If you care about our North Carolina Lighthouses, Please read this and vote for Bodie (link below). It only takes a few seconds (literally)!In 2005 Jeld-Wen windows and doors began a lighthouse restoration initiative by taking nominations of towers that needed new windows and doors. The public could then vote on the lighthouse they consider being the lighthouse that would most benefit from this award. This year, out of 49 nominees, Bodie Island Lighthouse is one of the 12 finalists. If our NC tower wins, it will receive 8 windows and one door that are reproductions of the originals.
You can read more about the contest below and VOTE (please, for Bodie Island Lighthouse). As you may recall, funding for the restoration of BILH as pulled from the budget just minutes before the US Senate voted in December 2007. Monies for its restoration will be requested again, but it has been passed over several years and there is no guarantee that it will be passed this year. The NPS feels that any help from other agencies and companies will be welcome to lessen the $2.8 million dollar project and may better our chances of getting funds for Bodie this year.
Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse (owned by the city of Annapolis and managed by the Chesapeake Chapter of the USLS) was awarded windows last year. Many of you have visited there, so we KNOW this can happen. Please go to the site below and cast your vote…feel free to pass it along to friends!
Sincerely,
Bett Padgett, President
Outer Banks Lighthouse Society
