Lighthouse Lecture Series
The next Lighthouse Lecture Series will be on Saturday, September 21 at 4 p.m. when Nik Epanchin will present “Point Arena Light Station Renovation 2008-2010“ as part of the Lighthouse Lecture Series.
Nik joined the PALKI Board in September 2006 and soon he and Pauline Zamboni became the co-Project Managers of the Light Station renovation effort. This presentation will include a a brief status of the Light Station prior to renovation, the effort required to obtain funding for the renovation and the details of the renovation itself. An accomplished photographer, Nik also chronicled the entire project and will share many of his photos of the renovations. His main task was the day to day field work and keeping an accurate track of the costs to keep both the PALKI Board and California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) informed.
