Find out how you can support the Nubble Light — by volunteering for as little as three hours a week — at an informational meeting at the Sohier Park Gift Shop this Friday, May 18, beginning at 4 p.m. For more information, contact Gift Shop Manager Lynn Sheehan at the Recreation Department at 363-1040.
