SADC celebrates 40th on historic covered bridge

SADC celebrates 40th on historic covered bridge

On Friday evening SADC Pontiac hosted its partners and clients for a dinner on the Félix-Gabriel-Marchand covered bridge in Mansfield, to celebrate the non-profit’s’s 40th anniversary. The SADC is a federally-funded organization with a mission to promote economic development in rural regions. Dozens of invitees attended the supper, including various elected officials, representatives of community organizations and local entrepreneurs, taking in a meal with locally sourced food and drink, all while listening to local musicians. “Tonight we come together to celebrate 40 years of SADC Pontiac, it’s a milestone that reflects our history and our vision for the future,” Director Rhonda Perry said to the crowd in her introduction. “Since 1985, SADC has supported local development, fostered entrepreneurship and strengthened the vitality of our region.” Perry highlighted the fact that when the organization started (then known by the acronym LEAD) the board was entirely men, and now they have near gender parity (four women, five men). She also credited Dennis Blaedow of the Pontiac Tourism Association with the idea of hosting an event on the bridge itself. Photo: Caleb Nickerson
