Every year, Founders’ Day recognizes people who give their time and talents to support students throughout the City School District of Albany. Founders’ Day is sponsored by the Albany City Council PTA (ACCPTA), an umbrella organization made up of parent-teacher associations at schools throughout the district.
This year’s event will be held on Friday, April 27 from 5:30-9:30 p.m. at the Italian-American Community Center. Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased through individual school PTAs, PTSAs or the Montessori Community Council.
The event will feature special performances and displays, a silent auction, music and dancing. All proceeds benefit a Scholarship Fund for Albany High School students.
The ACCPTA is seeking volunteers, sponsors and donations of silent auction items for 2018 Founders’ Day. To volunteer or learn more about being a sponsor, contact KathrynBamberger@yahoo.com. For silent auction donations, please contact Beth Joslin at joslins@earthlink.net.
