Valerie Thompson White Lake, MI
Booth 105, Wood
Her woodworking crafting began by making a toybox for her grandson when he was born. This led to VALERIE THOMPSON ‘s love of this creative expression of wood and its beautiful color, grain and luster. Valerie found it to be a unique medium and allowed her craftmanship to be revealed. She loved advancing into making cutting boards and increased her inspiration when discussing with customers the various woods and processes used to create her product line. Valerie relates, “I love taking wood that is rough and ugly and turning it into a beautiful and functional piece.” Traveling to Saline for the first time to participate in the Saline Craft Show, she will be in Booth 105 on Saturday, March 8, 2025 with cheese boards, bow knives, coasters, serving trays, napkin holders, kitchen utensils, soap savers and other table top décor. The show opens at 8am-3:30 pm at Saline Middle School, 7190 N Maple, Saline.

Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
I’ll answer then - not everyone. As for the candidate, I agree that the onus is on her to make it to the meeting. Six other candidates have rearranged their schedules to attend, it is not a requirement to give special consideration. Giving her credentials and resume during public comment was a good idea.
