Eight lulus in a doozy, and sixteen doozies in a humdinger.
No one knows how many humdingers
there are in a lollapalooza."

As far as I can tell, the Absecon Lighthouse association has no online donation mechanism, not even Paypal.
http://www.abseconlighthouse.org/Main/Support.asp
There's an online gift shop, but the link is hard to see (I nearly missed it). It loads really slowly, in part due to a JPG that is needlessly large (281k). Wait a minute, I can dontate through the online store using paypal, I think. But I had to click about a half-dozen times to get there, and the donation levels are pre-selected. (I can't give $20? $5?)
Nitpicky? Yes, definitely. But if you want people to give you money, it helps to make it really, really easy.

I agree you need to make it easy to donate as people have limited time, and money.

Question- did you send your observations to them? It's great to make observations and post them here but it won't do any good if they are not pointed out to the powers that be at Absecon.
