Lighthouse License Plate Adds A Splash of Color

Tired of the washed-out waves on your license plate? Do your car a favor and order the newest and most colorful charity license plate. The Pomham Rocks Lighthouse plate features the red-roofed white light station on a bright sunset background glowing with deep hues of blue, yellow and orange. The design is based on a vintage postcard from the turn of the century and shows the 1871 lighthouse high on a rocky island off the coast of Riverside.

Pre-orders can be made at www.pomhamrockslighthouse.org.  The cost is $42.50 for a set of plates, with $20 going to the volunteer organization to support restoration and preservation of the century-and-a-half-year-old historical light station. A minimum of 150 plate sets needs to be ordered before production can begin. The license plate was designed to accept all types of vehicle registrations. Currently the non-profit is only accepting passenger registrations. However, if there is enough interest, other vehicle types will be opened up for pre-orders.

Friends and family who do not have internet access can request a copy of the license plate application from Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, Attn: License Plate, P.O. Box 15121, Riverside, RI. 02915. A completed order form and copy of your registration can be mailed, with a check for $42.50, payable to Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, to that address.
