Southfield (CBS Detroit) - These may be the dog days of summer but things have been anything but quiet as Toyota's Curt McAllister, Salvation Army's Maj. Timothy Meyer, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel appear on CBS 62's Michigan Matters (airing 8 am Sunday) to discuss unusually busy times.
McAllister talked with Carol Cain, Senior Producer and Host, about the upcoming Motor Bella auto show in September and what they expect to showcase there. He also talked about new products from Toyota and Lexus.
McAllister also discussed "Summer in the City" a campaign from the Salvation Army to raise $1.3 million for the renovation and expansion of Connor Creek Corps Community Center on the city's east side.
Meyer, of the Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division, hopes to raise funds to help residents through education, food programs and more that are so needed.
