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.

Technology itself has made it possible for them to largely work remotely in proximity to them — making choices about where they will live based on community.

Saline Celtic Festival Kilts Can Help Improve Relationships with Local Law Enforcement

April 26, 2018
It can be easy to overlook the presence of law enforcement at local events. [1] Officers are always there, of course.
