DON'T Sleep On Saline Michigan! - So you're thinking about making the move to Ann Arbor Michigan, or one of the fine suburbs that lies on the outskirts. Today, I want to touch on Ann Arbor's favorite neighbor, Saline. So be sure to stick around to see if Saline Michigan is the next place you call home, or not. Let's get to it. Saline, Michigan has been one of those cities that have been brought up a few times for me to touch on, and I know at a glance you might think why would anyone ask about this little town? And there's several reasons, I'd say the main one which I'll say is pro #1 to living in Saline Michigan, is the proximity to Ann Arbor. For those of you that know of Ann Arbor or have had the opportunity to live nearby you know how awesome that is, I have several videos about this fine city that I'll link in the description for you to queue up, but to keep things short, it's one of a kind, unlike any other and a place most Metro Detroiters want to be near. While we are still on the topic of proximity and location, I wanted to put some perspective to this city as well as the township of Saline. The city of Saline covers 4.41 square miles with a population of around 9,000 people, whereas the township of Saline is 34.79 square miles with a population of around 2,300 people, which is very interesting, because townships are bigger than cities, and this is one of the few townships that has less people than the city, so space and privacy is a given, with those stats in mind.

The Chaldean American community is an essential part of the fabric - and economy - of Southeast Michigan.  Martin Manna, President of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, joins us to discuss the leadership role of the Chamber, as well as its charitable arm, the Chaldean Community Foundation.The Foundation serves the entire Metro Detroit community, regardless of ethnicity or religion. And when COVID-19 hit Michigan, like everyone else, they had to adjust. This included transitioning 50 staff to working from home, as well as how to serve clients that are normally seen face-to-face.  Whether it's a language barrier or a developmental disability, each client presents different challenges.  In the last 5 weeks, they've answered and processed 3,500 calls.A challenge unique to the Chaldean community is distrust of government.  Many in the immigrant community come from countries where government information isn't to be believed. To combat that, the Chamber and Foundation enlisted trusted religious leaders to get the the word out about COVID-19 and the risk of community spread.The Coronavirus resource page on the Foundation website (linked below) offers resources for the Chaldean American community with regard to mental health and business assistance - as 60% of households are business owners.Additionally, there is a strong effort to make sure that Chaldeans are counted in the 2020 Census.  It's important for these citizens to understand that they need to be counted to increase federal funding in the community.  In the 2010 Census, only 45,000 of Michigan's estimated 160,000 Chaldeans were counted.Finally, we highlight some member businesses that have gone above and beyond to help their fellow Metro Detroiters, including Wild Bills Tobacco, Beyond Juice, and Regency Manor. The Chamber has also partnered with Gardner White.Many Chamber members own grocery stores in and around the city of Detroit. They've also been doing their part to re-work the customer experience, including delivery and pickup options.Nearly 35% of Chamber members are non-Chaldean, and among Foundation clients, nearly 20% are non-Chaldean.  The efforts of both of these organizations are helping Metro Detroiters of all backgrounds during this challenging time.Resources:Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce: https://www.chaldeanchamber.com/Chaldean Community Foundation: https://www.chaldeanfoundation.org/COVID-19 Resources Page: https://www.chaldeanfoundation.org/covid-19-community-resources/Michigan Motors Forward is produced by JAG in Detroit Podcasts in partnership with Tanner Friedman Strategic Communications.https://jagindetroit.com/https://tannerfriedman.com/
