New, Fun, Free Family-Friendly Music Event at Memorial Park

What a wonderful evening it was on May 21 for Albany High School’s inaugural outdoor concert. Although it was a bit cool and windy, clothespins held sheet music in place and the bands played to the enjoyment of all. A rousing John Phillips Sousa march got the audience clapping along in rhythm with the orchestra while the youngest fans danced and played soccer around the edges of the crowd.

The Albany Community Foundation is proud to have sponsored this special event by providing the organizational framework, publicity, and funding. We would like to thank Craig Bryant, Director of Instrumental Music at Albany High School and the City of Albany and the Albany Unified School District for their support in this event.

The NIGHT OWLS entertained at the Chocolate and Champagne Gala on February 9, 2013

Our fourth annual Chocolate and Champagne Gala, on February 9, 2013 proved to be very successful.  Once again the music of the Night Owls, a local trio, was enjoyed by attendees. The delicious treats were as abundant and delicious as in past years.  Thank you to everyone who attended.

Removing the Hedges

On September 11, 2011, the Albany Community Foundation joined forces with City Arborist, Tony Wolcott to weed, remove inappropriate plants, and plant native species at the Albany Community Center.  We removed some of the hedges and planted natives and edibles around the building.  Thank you to all who participated, especially the Leos Club from AHS.
