NEW FRIENDS OF THE FENWICK ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE The "New" Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse was established in summer of 2007 when the State of Delaware asked Winnie Lewis to organize a new group of volunteers to continue the devoted and diligent guardianship begun by Paul Pepper in 1982 and the original "Friends of the Lighthouse." Winnie Lewis, herself being a granddaughter of a former lighthouse keeper, accepted the challenge. Our small group worked together through the winter of 2008 to prepare for our first full Spring/Summer season. The "New Friends" accomplished many wonderful things in our first year with the help of many individuals and local civic groups. Along with many updates to signs, flyers and a new website; some improvements to safety, landscaping and beautification; our group has been growing steadily and attracting more interested people. Many more great ideas and small improvements are waiting to begin, we need your help and donations. Donations, or questions regarding donations of money or property, please contact Winnie Lewis, President of the New Friends. If you would like to volunteer to welcome visitors and talk about the history of the lighthouse, please contact Jan Thompson, Volunteer Coordinator, she will give you all the details.
