Quick Calendar Update

We have a slight bug with calendar events right now. If you click on “Upcoming Events”, the items on the calendar are correct.

However, if you are not logged into some Google service (including Gmail, Google Calendar, etc), then when you click on individual event items in the list to the right, the time zone will be in GMT, not eastern time.

If you’re not logged into Gmail, please view the calendar directly for the appropriate event times.

Your local friendly web team is currently digging through Google APIs to fix this issue. This post will be deleted when the bug is fixed. Thanks.

UPDATE: This has been fixed.

Support the Cause: Help Albany Police Provide Kids Helmets

The Albany Police Department is seeking funds to help provide helmets to Albany children. Their goal is to raise enough to supply 1,000 helmets.

You can contribute by visiting the McDonald’s restaurant located at 391 Central Ave every Tuesday this September. 20% of all sales between 5PM and 8PM on Tuesdays will be donated to the helmet program.

McDonald’s will also be donating a bicycle that will be raffled off in the restaurant. Tickets are $1 each. Winner will be picked on Tuesday, September 28 at 7:00PM.

Directions to the location.

Editor’s Note: We’re currently looking into the best way to donate directly to the program and will update this post shortly.
