Local enactors have portrayed Saline photographer Lucretia Gillett

Further details of “Saline’s Photographer” Lucretia Gillett story continue to be discussed, in upcoming presentation

April 13, 2019

February 22, 2019

As positioning goes, casting the future of our well-established Saline Area Chamber of Commerce (SACC) now as “Chamber 2.0” set the bar on expectations rather high, indeed. [1] When our own chamber was first established in 1975, such outfits were largely seen as first point-of-contact for visitors and incoming enterprises. Cheerleaders. Then repositories of expertise for counsel and liaison where needed. They could serve as unified voice on behalf of stakeholders. [2] And within their ....
