Pickleball At LBCC

  The pickleball courts on LBCC’s Albany campus are a popular place to play and learn the sport of pickleball.

Periwinkle Child care facility makeover

If you have ventured near LBCC’s pickleball courts you have seen all the workers on the roof of the Periwinkle Center, along with the fenced up area where people usually park at the Albany campus. The Periwinkle Child Development Center is home to the child resource center. All the workers and closed fence was due to the expansion and remodeling of the building. Now the work is done and students, staff and their families will reap the fruits of the labor. On Tuesday, Feb. 13, it was time for the grand opening, introducing the newly remodeled building. Former teachers, college board members, and Albany City Council members along with the mayor showed up to add to the importance of this event and show their support. From the outside the Periwinkle Center may be just like any other college building, but going inside you can see the magic in the air among the people that have a part in helping children. Wonder and warmth filled the air as these compassionate people displayed big smiles and...
