As we celebrate 20 years of caring for the community. we look back with appreciation to all of the people who helped us get to where we are today. We've taken some big steps through the past 20 years. Merging the Mattoon Memorial and Charleston Community hospi- tals was no small feat in itself. And since then we've added a RegionalCancer Center; established six busy community clinics;

added countlessprograms and services; added nearly 115.000 square feet during our recent construction; and built a solid staff of physicians. Every step of the way, we've been blessed with the support of so many fine people: our founders, board members, donors. employees,volunteers - and of course the residents of all of the communitieswe serve. whose trust and confidencewe've worked so hard to earn. Our thanks to each and every one. We couldn't havedone it without you! SPnAHBUSH - LOLN €idHEALTH SYSTEM 1000 Health Center Drive RO.

1 Comments From The Artistic Director Someone once said it takes three elements to make theatre: a performer, aspace in which to perform, and an audience. Without you,that vital third clement, there would be no the- atre - not in Sullivan, not in Chicago, not even on Broadway. So, you can see how impor- tant you are to us, not just because you fuel our coffers, but because you fuel our very artis- tic soul! If you see Lost World or watch reruns of Roseanne, no matter how you react, the dinosaurs (reptilian or human) don't change theirbehavioral patterns. You have no effect, other than financial, on their performances. In theatre, your presence andreactions alter the energy, the very chemistry, of every single performance. In simple terms, we need you to make our performance complete. It is, therefore, altogether appropri- M.
