In ’Sconset

What a summer! Beginning with the Preservation Month House Tour and end-ing with ‘Sconset History Night and The October Lighthouse Open Day, we have celebrated the Year of the Light in grand form. This newsletter highlights these fes-tive summer events.

More importantly, however, we cel-ebrate the philanthropy that makes our work possible. We can’t document all the work that happens daily at One New Street on conservation and preservation issues. These range from monitoring the future of the LORAN property to work at Ruddick Commons and the Lighthouse to event planning. We are blessed with a talented Board and group of volunteers that daily give of their talents and time.

Your financial generosity makes all this possible. This page highlights some of our

younger philanthropists who have proud-ly given. In addition thanks to all of you who generously support the Lighthouse Maintenance Fund, the Gala and our Annual Membership Appeal.

A special thanks to junior member Mia Pioli who has donated to the Trust since 2011.
