2020 SASS Aid to Saline Students and Youth

This year, we’ve provided school supplies, new shoes, boots, snow pants, hats and gloves to youth in need of support.

We also provide scholarships for students to participate in afterschool sports, music and enrichment programs. We also helped to launch a pilot program supporting high school students with mental and tutoring needs.

This holiday, with the help of the community, we have also helped to provide families with gift cards to purchase holiday gifts for their children.

Saline Michigan Is a Place That Gets “Car People” (Year Round, as It Turns Out)

April 23, 2018

There are people who drive cars, and there are car people. Two weeks ago today during a very well attended SAE WCX World Congress Experience presentation at Cobo Center in Detroit, Alex Roy attempted to explain the difference to his audience. [1,2,3,4,5] What we drive says who we are, what people think of us …. In the past, we were ‘one with the machine.’ The future would have us be ‘none with the machine.’ Attendees ....

Next Michigan Comic Convention in Detroit, this August 16-18, offers research opportunity for Saline planners

August 12, 2019

With the exciting announcement of “superheroes” as theme for our local Eighth Annual Saline Scarecrow contest, already compelling reasons to attend the 2019 Michigan Comic Convention are that much greater.

Quite matter-of-factly, a sign designates it as “Judd Cemetery,” further noting that it was formally ....

Autonomous Vehicles Promise to Solve Downtown Parking Problems

March 19, 2018

Imagine suggesting this as a solution to one of the top concerns of Saline main street businesses: Eliminate all parking spaces and look for patrons to drive their cars more often. [1,2] According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials, on-street transit-ways, bus and rail, collectively, have “the highest capacity for moving people in a constrained space,” at anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 persons per hour. This compares to 600 to 1,600 persons per ....
