A Beautiful and Lasting Way to Support Presque
Isle’s Historical Treasures
If you enjoy bringing your family
and friends to the Presque Isle Lighthouses and 1905 Keeper’s House, we hope
you will join our Holiday Amaryllis Bulb
Sales Team. The Presque Isle Township Museum Society is in great need of
additional funds to sustain our restoration, maintenance and collection
efforts. This fundraiser is important to sustaining our future, so the more
volunteers we have on board to help sell the bulbs, the better!
If you cannot help sell bulbs, please help support the
Presque Isle Township Museum Society’s (PITMS) efforts by purchasing bulbs for
your home, and consider giving them to your family, friends, teachers, and
clients as well.
The Amaryllis’ blooms are so stunning and last 6-8 weeks. If
cared for properly, they can be replanted again next year. Each bulb will come
packaged in a gift box with a gift card indicating that proceeds from the
purchase helps support the Presque Isle Lighthouses and 1905 Keeper’s House,
along with lighthouse wrapping paper!
All bulbs are of top quality and guaranteed to grow. If for
any reason the purchaser is not satisfied, they can contact our supplier and
they will be offered their choice of a replacement, credit or full refund.
The following bulbs will be available for sale:
Kits come with
planter, soil and bulb ready to grow indoors.

If you would like to help sell bulbs, contact PITMS Vice
President Katie Wolf at (989)277-3543, or send her an email at kwolf2007@gmail.com. Selling the bulbs is
easy. Each volunteer will be given a full-color order sheet with lovely photos
of the bulbs in bloom. Customers pay by cash or check when placing the order.
You may contact any PITMS board member to purchase the
Holiday Amaryllis bulbs as well. They also will be sold at the 1905 Keeper’s
House during the weekends of October 7
& 8, noon to 3 pm (Lake Huron Discovery Tour), and October 14 & 15, noon – 3 pm (Autumn Lights).
Bulbs will be available for pick-up on

And remember, a
membership to the Presque Isle Township Museum Society also makes a lovely and
lasting gift!
