The Troy Chamber and the City of Troy present the annual “State of the City” luncheon, Thursday, February 8, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Troy Community Center, 3179 Livernois. This event is sponsored by Huntington Bank.

 

Attendees will enjoy networking and a tasty lunch as Mayor Louise Schilling presents the State of the City address. Her presentation will certainly remind you why Troy is a great place to work, play, learn and invest. If you have clients in Troy, you may want to invite them to attend this informative luncheon as well.

 

Cost for the event is $30 for Troy Chamber members or $40 for non-members.(An additional $5 per person will be charged on day of event. Space may be limited.)To register, call 248-641-8151 or theteam@troychamber.com (cancel by 2/1 for refund, please.).

 

With advance notice, residents are invited to attend the Mayor’s presentation, free of charge, after the lunch portion of the program. Please call for details.

My comment: I would like to attend this speech. Unfortunately, my full-time job in Southfield makes attendance impossible. As soon as I have access to the text of the speech, I’ll post either it or a link to it.
