Lighthouse USA

Official Patch  

 

CONDITIONS OF ATTAINMENT FOR THE 

Lighthouse, USA.  A sanctioned AVA program

 

1. Definition of a 'real' Lighthouse - any lighthouse that is now or has in the past been used as a navigation aid on or near a body of water.  This does not include decorative lawn ornaments, even if they contain a light and may be used by the man of the house to find his way home after an evening at the pub!  And it does not include beacons intended to warn planes rather than ships.
  
2. Any sanctioned AVA event in the USA that allows the sighting of a lighthouse qualifies for this program.  Any paying participant of such an event is eligible to include it in this program.
  
3. An event including a YRE may be used only once for this program.
  
4. The IVV stamp must be used to record your participation, handwritten entries are not allowed.  This program is not retroactive; all events must be walked (or biked in the case of bike events) after you register for the lighthouse program..  Insert cards may be used if you have forgotten your record book, however at least one event must be recorded in the book.  For each event record the IVV stamp and the name or town of the lighthouse.
  
5. An event may only count for one lighthouse sighting even if multiple lighthouses are visible along the route.  A lighthouse may only be included a maximum of twice if it is visible from different events.
  
6. Registration and event information is available from Teri Morosco at: (732) 739-1404, Temwalks@comcast.net or 12 Annapolis Drive, Hazlet, NJ 07730.  Checks ($8) should be made payable to PAWS.  When you have completed the record book (12 lighthouse events), mail it to Teri.  You will receive a certificate and patch plus the return of your completed book.  If your record book is lost, it will be replaced after payment of $1 to cover printing and postage.
  
7. The AVA Lighthouse program will run from 4/15/2004 to 12/31/2008.
8. To have a walk included in the 'Lighthouse Walks' send an email to Temwalks@comcast.net, letting us know the AVA Event ID & Lighthouse viewable from the walk.  Or send the same by snail mail to:  Teri Morosco at 12 Annapolis Drive Hazlet, NJ 07730.
