Dear Friends,
As the crisp breeze of October sweeps through our beloved city, with it comes a renewed sense of appreciation for the changing seasons. Fall is a season of transition and transformation, much like the beacon of our lighthouse guiding ships through ever-shifting waters.
In the coming weeks, the Friends of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse will continue to work diligently to ensure the preservation and promotion of our cherished lighthouse. We are exploring new ways to engage with our community and share the fascinating history of this iconic structure. Stay tuned for updates on our initiatives and events.
I want to thank Alderman Gilbert Villegas, 36th Ward and Chairman of the Committee on Economic, Capital, and Technology Development, and his staff for meeting with us in their office on Thursday, September 7th, to share our mission for the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse and discuss how we can work together to fulfill our commitment to Preserving, Restoring and Celebrating this iconic structure.
Fall also reminds us of the importance of preparation. Just as mariners ready their vessels for the winter season, students and educators are gearing up for a season of learning and growth. We stand with them, offering our support and encouragement as they embark on this educational journey.
As we bask in the glow of autumn's beauty, let us remember our lighthouse's vital role in guiding those who depend on it. It is a reminder that even in the face of change, our community remains a source of strength, inspiration, and resilience.
Thank you for your continued support of our organization and the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse. Together, we will ensure its light continues shining brightly for generations to come.
Wishing you all a wonderful October filled with warmth, reflection, and the season's joy.
Be Safe and Be Well!
Regards,
Kurt Lentsch
Chief Dreamer and President, Friends of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse
