philanthropy and to serve as a resource through which charitable funds may be directed to meet the needs of local organizations

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.

The Leos are the Best!
