The Portland Breakwater Light in Portland, Maine was restored through the joint efforts of The Lighthouse Preservation Society and the South Portland/Cape Elizabeth Rotary Club. The Society approached the Rotary Club to see if they would take on the light's restoration as a service project. They agreed, and began raising funds locally, which were then matched with a federal grant that the Society successfully wrote.
