About the Sawmill Center for the Arts

A Word From The Executive Director

Dear Sawmill Friends,

We invite you to share with us another exciting season in 2007 here at the Cook Forest Sawmill Center for the Arts.

Today, more than ever art is an important part of our lives. It surrounds us, calms us and even makes us smile. This year I hope that you will join our Sawmill family with a membership, so that we can continue to bring quality programs and services to our community.

A very special thanks to Verna Leith who let me become part of her dream, my hard working staff, dedicated board and many volunteers. I would also like to thank our many Sawmill friends for their support and hard work over the years.

Come join us this summer…. learn, laugh, relax and enjoy. Let the beauty of Cook Forest help you find your creative spirit at the place “Where Nature Meets the Arts."

Sincerely,

Cindy Ban
