In 1855, a strange looking small tower called the "Bug Light" was added, and the following year one of the lighthouses was destroyed by fire.

PITA Regains Non-profit Status

On September 13, in a letter from the IRS, PITA was reinstated as a non-profit organization.  It stated that we were ‘erroneously put on the Auto-Revocation list’ and that we may disregard the CP120A notice that was sent. We should stress that our non-profit status is for income tax purposes and not donations (which are not tax deductible). We are working on changing that.

After our accountant unraveled the red tape and spent countless hours in paperwork, it was all the result of a mistake.

The 17th Annual Plum Island Holiday Fair is on Saturday, December 3rd from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Santa arriving fire truck about 2 p.m. at PITA Hall.

Once again, PITA will be selling reasonably priced, premium balsam Christmas trees, with free delivery anywhere on the Island.

Crafters and artists from Plum Island and vicinity will offer gifts, stocking stuffers and holiday decorations. For crafters desiring to sell at this year's fair, contact

Frank Pierce, Hall Manager

fpierce1@comcast.net or 978 853-9057

There will be raffle prizes, refreshments and lunch specials, including hot dogs, hamburgers and haddock chowder.

So save the date and come celebrate the season with your PI neighbors.

Island in May.

All proceeds go to help maintain the Hall as a gathering spot for Island residents.

The Hall hosts scores of public and private events each year, and we've worked hard to keep it in top shape and up to all codes. The Hall is available for rentals, but we also provide free use of the Hall to Island groups like the Friends of Plum Island Light for their meetings. In the last year, the Hall has also been the scene of weekly meetings of the group that is working on solutions to our erosion problem.
