This week marked the first birthday of the Ludington Area Center for the Arts!

Things were hopping around the Center during the summer, so we didn't have time to plan a birthday party.  But, don't worry, we're going to plan a belated celebration for 2010.  In the meantime, thanks to board member, Kari Karr, for designing a commemorative ad (below) -- she makes us looks so good!  The ad runs in the Ludington Daily News on Friday and Saturday.

Also, thanks to the Ludington Daily News for the great story they ran in on the Center's first year.  Log in to their e-edition to see the full story in the September 17 issue.
