The Albany Historical Society's Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 8 from 1:00 - 3:00 in the Edith Stone Room of the Albany Library. There will be a discussion of the old Albany Hospital which was located on that very site.  Election of the Board of Directors will be held.  Candidates are Jack Rosano, Kim Denton, Doug Eaton and Marsha Skinner.  There is one more seat available so let us know if you are interested in serving on the Board.  Nominations can be made from the floor. 

The purpose of the Albany Historical Society is to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge about the history of the Albany CA area.  We encourage local residents to share their memories and knowledge of the past through story telling events and have begun to create a historical walking path in Albany using plaques commorating important places and people. We hope to see you at one of our events soon.
