“Invitational Art Exhibit of the Cranberry Isles”
Opening reception Saturday, Aug. 2, at 2 pm
The Cranberry Isles have a legacy of wonderful artists, and many more artists followed, making the islands their home.  We’re fortunate to have so much talent available.  All works on exhibit will be for sale.

Thanks.....
Our Board of Directors wish to thank all our members, Foundations and friends who gave so much to make our dream a reality.  We still can’t believe this was all accomplished in four years.

The Building Committee has to be especially thanked for all the grant writing, meetings, planning, work and worry throughout this building period.  They are: chairman Phil Whitney, Bruce Komusin, Sarah Newell, and Wini Smart.  Give them all a special thanks.

You’ll be amazed at how great the old Mountain View Inn now looks as the new Cranberry House.  Finally we have a permanent home for the Historical Museum and its collection.  With the addition of a Cultural Center, it’s a place for islanders and visitors to enjoy for years to come.

Gratefully,
Your president- Wini Smart

“Cranberry House Trail” to open this spring
In cooperation with Maine Coast Heritage Trust, and thanks to the generosity of O.P. Jackson and Bruce Komusin, we will have a wandering public nature trail from Cranberry House to the beautiful headlands and sand beach of Whistler Cove facing the Western Way.  Held in trust, O.P. Jackson's land was accessible only by boat before this trail was built.

Work is proceeding on the trail this month, and volunteers are needed now, and later to maintain it.
