The Rotary Club of Saline is inviting the community to the dedication of a pavilion that it built at Henne Field just north of downtown on East Bennett Street.
The dedication takes place at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 9.
The Rotary Club of Saline built the structure for community use. Join club members as well as the Rotary Assistant Governor, a color guard from Saline’s Post 322 of the American Legion, City of Saline officials, ,members of the Friends of Henne Field, Saline Area Chamber of Commerce representatives and others in the community.
The pavilion, a 24-by-30-foot structure, is the first pavilion built at Henne Field. Henne Field was gifted to Saline Area Schools by the Henne family in 1948 in memory of its patriarch Edward Henne.
The pavilion was funded through a grant from Rotary District 6380 as well as a Go Fund Me account and monies raised through donations from a Can & Bottle drive both supported by many in the community.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
Sunny, with a high of 83 and low of 58 degrees. Clear for the morning, cloudy during the afternoon, mist during the evening, clear overnight.
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
