Lights - Page: 18 of 50

The Sandy Hook Lighthouse was built several years ago as it was a needed Safe Haven Light for the Havasu Springs Marina. At the time we didn't have a sponsor and because of it's location we didn't have a lot of sponsors fighting to get their name on the plaque. Most of the potential sponsors want to be able drive up to the the lighthouse look at their plaque and put their hands on it. Unfortunately that is not going to be possible for many of the lighthouses that will be placed up down & down river. Everyone needs to remember the reason we put the Lighthouse Club and concept together. Yes!, Navigational Aids, and we need them up & down river, this is where they will do the most good, but not to dwell on this.

The Hot Boat Members are aware of the importance of our lighthouses and stepped forward and sponsored our Sandy Hook Lighthouse. One of their beloved members, Kenny Goldovsky, had recently passed away and the Sandy Hook Lighthouse provided the perfect memorial for him. The dedication was held at London Bridge Beach close to our Main Buffalo Lighthouse. The Hot Boat Club Members had a beautiful Bronze Memorial Plaque made for Kenny and we had it mounted on 2-1/2 ton granite block close by. The Block was donated and placed at our location by the city and is one of the blocks left over from original London Bridge. The City has even allowed us to build a "Kiosk" in the same area that contains maps showing the locations of the Lighthouses already in place as well as other Lighthouse Club literature, really a nice set up.

The Hot Boat Members attended the dedication in force and made it the largest and most prosperous we have ever had. This dedication was the pre-cuser for many of our future dedications as it is the location we intend to use for all dedications where Lighthouse accessibilty is limited.
