Meanwhile, the Leadership Enrichment Group meets at the PNC Building at 8:30 AM to discuss Mentoring & Coaching. Guest speaker Alan Panter will provide insights into choosing the right coach and fostering professional growth.
Thursday & Friday: Family Fun Nights
The Troy Community Center provides the perfect end to the week. Thursday’s Kids Night Out (6:30 PM – 9:30 PM) offers basketball, swimming, and crafts for children ages 3–12.
