Toastmasters will hold a meeting Monday morning at 8:15 a.m. at Walsh College in Troy. The group meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month.

2. The Troy City Council will hold a regular meeting Monday at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall. Items to be discussed by the Council include a status report on the Transit Center and the Troy Solar House proposal. The complete agenda can be viewed here.

The event will be held from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Farbman Group's Troy office located at 3250 W. Big Beaver Road. Canned items, healthy packaged snacks and unused personal care items are recommended for donating.

4. Head over to the Troy Community Center Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. to hear Blackthorn.
