If you want some smiles, giggles, and laughs, visit Booth 182 to give a gnome a home! LAURA GILLILAN started making gnomes from cast-off fabric scrapes. Inspired by her German heritage, her mother taught her to embroider, the little white gnome flowers on their coats resemble Edelweiss. “My best-selling gnome is always a surprise,” Laura relates as she is always flattered to hear how happy a gnome can make someone. Laura’s creations start with finding appropriate wool sweaters. Washed in hot water and dried at high heat, it is often surprising what happens to these sweaters. These are then cut and beards are chosen. Sewing is her last step as Laura gives each gnome its personality even if it originated from the same sweater.
Dan cites large dollar amounts yet much of the support the rec center needs is due to past neglect/lack of support from the city and continual deferral of routine maintenance.
Moderate rain, with a high of 84 and low of 71 degrees. Fog for the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, overcast for the evening, fog overnight.
Would urge the city to NOT privatize the Rec Center or sell it.
Ali. There is a reason you don’t understand. You choose not to. Investing in our seniors health and wellbeing is much more important than investing in a recreation center that has continued to lose money and only serves a small portion of our city’s community.
We are seniors and fully familiar with both facilities. Perhaps what is not understood is the number of seniors who use the Recreation Center, in particular the aquatic center as arthritis for many of us means water is one of the few ways we can exercise. Many of course also use other areas of the facility.
EDIT: The Saline American Legion was a sponsor for this event, supplying the food for guests. SASC is grateful for their continued support.
Kudos to The Saline American Legion. They have been a consistent contributor to the SASC. Seniors in our community have earned and deserve the benefits that the senior center offers. Great work!
