Whether they hosted a fundraiser, went to several parties, or purchased a single raffle ticket, Committee 150 supporters were honored at the Albany History Fair on Sunday, May 6 with a Sense of Place Award.

"We were delighted to learn that Committee 150's grassroots initiative to raise funds, raise awareness and imagine the possibilities for the former St. Joseph's Church was recognized for contributing to Albany's unique Sense of Place," said Colleen Ryan, Committee 150 co-founder. "Over 1,100 people pitched in, and together, we've raised nearly $150,000."
