The New Dungeness Light Station Association invites those interested in the history and future of Sequim’s historic lighthouse to attend the group’s annual meeting set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Learn about opportunities available for those who appreciate lighthouses or historic facilities and would like to help on work parties while staying at the lighthouse. All skill levels are encouraged to join.

Enjoy refreshments and enter a drawing for a free week-long stay for two at the lighthouse.

The New Dungeness Light Station has been in continuous operation since 1857 and is the oldest lighthouse on the Strait of Juan de Fuca and second oldest in Washington. New Dungeness was the last Coast Guard manned lighthouse on the West Coast and has been manned and maintained by the volunteer NDLSA, which receives no federal, state or local government funding, since 1994.

During a recent workweek, a group of 13 volunteers spent a week power washing the buildings, repairing fences, sprucing up the landscaping, painting, repairing gutters and deep cleaning all of the facilities.
