RACHAEL COLEMAN, Brooklyn, MI
New Life Creations - Wood signs
“My husband and I reclaim barn wood local to our area. We dig through the pile of what was once a barn to get exactly what we are looking for,” states RACHAEL COLEMAN. Rachael then converts these pieces into new and unique signs for your home décor. “Seeing new life brought into the old barn wood pieces is very satisfying,” she continues. Rachael’s best-selling products are Christmas décor, but mainly Christmas movie quotes and interactive pieces for the kids (countdown to Christmas with moveable wreaths). However, her 2023 line also includes a variety of other home décor signs of funny quotes to family-related sayings, plus Bible verses to other inspirational quotes. This will all be available in Booth 73 at the Saline Craft Show. Rachael started painting at the age of 8, and on her family's suggestion, she began selling at local shows. Visit this booth to find a holiday gift or a great décor item for your home.
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.
How many Michigan municipalities with less than 10,000 people can afford to maintain a rec center the city's size?
To name a few:
Flat Rock Michigan 2023 10,239 residents, beautiful fairly new community center with fabulous aquatic center, gym, and other exercise equipment (population under 10K when built, median income lower than Saline as well as lower house values).
Moderate rain, with a high of 85 and low of 71 degrees. Fog in the morning, cloudy during the afternoon, overcast in 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!
