Seventh Annual Saline Mayor’s Senior Conference Brought Together Most Valuable Community Resources

June 22, 2018
One of the more striking centerpieces of tech discussions today is the importance of serving elderly and disabled populations.

Most Important Part of Memorial Day Was Missed During 2016 Parade

May 31, 2016
Saline had its annual Memorial Day parade yesterday. But unlike so many past years, it did not come to Oakwood Cemetery.
