Your jam-packed trip to the beautiful beach of Lake Michigan will make memories your family talks about for years. The donors of this trip have considered everything, and you'll be wowed by what it includes:

· Seven-night stay at the Bayshore House in the quaint harbor village of Elk Rapids. The spacious 4 bed/4 bath Timber framed home sleeps 12 and truly provides for your every creature comfort. And then there's the beach right outside your doorstep - 150' of private beach on the fresh (unsalted & NO sharks!) waters of East Grand Traverse Bay. This is the perfect setting for endless daytime activities for all ages and memorable sunsets every night!
($5,000.00 value)

· Greens fees for 4 Golfers with 2 golf carts at LochenHeath Golf Club, Williamsburg, Michigan. Meticulously carved from a 300-acre cherry orchard that hugs the coastline of Grand Traverse Bay, LochenHeath is a rarity in northern Michigan. It combines the challenge of bring-your-best-game, Scottish-style golf with sweeping views of the bay.
($600 value, Valid Monday - Wednesday, Sunday after noon)

· Day trip to Mackinac Island. Drive the scenic 90 miles north of the Bayshore House to Mackinac City, where you'll catch the Shepler's Ferry to the island. Arriving on Mackinac Island will take you back to a time before cars, as the automobile was banned on this island beginning in 1898. Your day trip includes:

o Rentals for your family's mode of transportation. Choose from bikes (even bicycles built for two!), horseback rides, horse drawn carriages, or horse drawn taxis.

o Tickets to tour Fort Mackinac, complete with the sounds of fife and drum, musket & cannon demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and costumed, historic interpreters.

o Certificate to Doug Murdick's, our fudge shop of choice in Mackinac. Watch it being made daily on huge slabs of marble!

o Admission to tour the grounds of the Grand Hotel, walk the 660' Porch with sweeping views of the Mackinac Straits, see the Hotel display from the Movie Somewhere in Time, have a drink in the Cupola Bar or afternoon tea.
($400 value for Mackinac Day Trip!)

· And to sweeten the deal, wine from local winery Chateau Chantel (Naughty Red and Nice White) and the unforgettable chocolate covered dried cherries.

· Personal trip planning with Bernadette, who is native to the area. She will provide recommendations and tips to plan an unforgettable week of experiences.
