Give the Gift of Life

First up, the American Red Cross is hosting Blood Drives at the Troy Community Center!

Just remember, you need to be at least 17 years old, weigh over 110 pounds, and be in good health to donate!

Learn and Network

If you’re passionate about nonprofits, the Annual Troy Chamber Nonprofit Management Conference is happening on November 13th from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Walsh College. The event will feature Kelley Kuhn, the president and CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association as the keynote speaker. Tickets are affordable too—only $50 for students and $75 for chamber members. It’s a great opportunity to learn, network, and support nonprofits!

Community Support Events

Don’t miss out on “Step Up to the Plate” from November 3rd-8th. Dine at participating local restaurants and support our Troy schools! Just turn in your receipts to the school of your choice to make your meal count. Speaking of dining, there’s also the Harvest Dance on November 9th at Bonadeo Farms. This fun event includes a BBQ dinner, dancing, and a tribute to veterans. Get your tickets and enjoy a great evening!

Support Local Causes

Several charity events are taking place this month as well. The Youth Community Agency is hosting their Gatsby’s Charity Affair on November 9th in Detroit to support local teens. The cost of entry goes to a great cause and includes entertainment and a silent auction. Want to make a difference this holiday season? Consider donating your leftover Halloween candy at the Medical Weight Loss Clinics, which are collecting treats until November 9th to help Gleaners Community Food Bank.

Art and Culture Opportunities

Art lovers, you won’t want to miss the Miracle at Meadow Brook event hosted by Paint a Miracle on November 13th. This will feature unique artwork from talented local artists available for viewing and purchase. Or, immerse yourself in the celebration of 40 years of the Zekelman Holocaust Center with their anniversary benefit dinner on November 10th in Detroit, featuring keynote speaker Mitch Albom.

Veterans Day and Family Events

Let’s not forget Veterans Day! On November 11th, Oakland County Parks and Recreation will offer free park entry to honor our veterans. This means you can explore our beautiful parks and trails without any cost! Additionally, there will be a family-friendly Night Hike and Campfire event on November 4th at Bloomer Park, perfect for enjoying the outdoors and making s’mores!

Get Involved and Have Fun!

Lastly, if you’re in the mood to shop and have a little fun, check out the Downtown Rochester Holiday Expo on November 11th. This event is free and packed with holiday ideas from over 60 local businesses! And for those looking to expand their knowledge, the Salem-South Lyon District Library is hosting an event about digital services on November 6th.
