The Blumberg's have purchased 12 acres of land on Orchard Lake near Roger City, Michigan. Only minutes from the picturesque beaches of Lake Huron, this area abounds with various inland lakes and trout streams.The area also has several excellent golf courses. Black Mountain recreation area is only 3 miles from Orchard Lake, offering year round activities for
guests. One of the biggest attractions within close traveling distance is the world famous Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island
Jan and Terry have invested over $300,000.00 and countless hours of labor to reach this point. They plan to sell their home and move there as soon as the main house is ready. This will allow them to monitor progress more closely.
We will post updates to keep you informed of our progess.

We have recieved our 501c3 approval letter, which is a huge step for Blum's Landing and its success.
The drywall is up and painted. The pine ceilings are up, thanks to St. Michael Lutheran Church of Canton Michigan. The mission group traveled up to Blum's Landing in August, 2009. While there they installed doors, light fixtures, ceiling fans, built a fire pit, and helped with cement work. The group returned in August, 2010 and worked on more doors, windows, and landscaping.
The volunteers from the Cheboygan Wal-Mart have cleared much of the brush and helped with the ceilings.
We also want give a special thnks to Mike Gildner and the Cheboygan cement company.
Two fundraisers held at Rose's Restuarant of Canton were very successful.
