HISTORICAL SOCIETY Calumet, Michigan
The First Norwegian Church of Calumet was constructed by the local contracting firm of Bajari-Ulseth in 1898-99 to serve an immigrant population from Norway attracted by work in the area’s copper mines.
The church design shows a strong Norwegian influence and is said to be a replica of a church in Kristiansund, Norway, birthplace of Ed Ulseth.
Since 2000 The Norwegian Lutheran Church Historical Society has been dedicated to maintaining, restoring, and facilitating future use of this very historic building.
Installed in the 1920’s, the current fiber cement roof has weathered many severe winters and urgently needs replacement. The proposed architectural grade composition shingle roof will closely approximate in look and color the original wood shingle roof from 1898. The $35,000 roof replacement price tag is an enormous sum for a small organization such as ours and it is quite plain that help from charitable donors is needed to meet the cost.
We know that you would not wish to see this well-loved and familiar silhouette of local church architecture disappear from the landscape. Any contribution will be gratefully received please click here for a printable donation form. |

This year for the Great Deer Chase Mountain Bike race we want to give the racers a $5 coupon to purchase food after the race. This coupon will be referred to as Bambo Bucks and will be issued only in $5 denominations. They will be sequentially numbered and printed with 2/colors of ink on colored paper to make false duplication difficult. They will only be valid from Friday, August 15 through Sunday, August 17, 2008.
We ask that you treat them as you would cash. On the Monday or Tuesday following the race (August 18 & 19, 2008), the director will come by and issue a check for amount of Bambo Bucks that have been used at your place of business.
We would like to know if you would want to participate in this program. If so please let us know before May 1 so we can add your name to the approved Bambo Buck vendor list.
Sincerely,
Marc J. Norton
