We thank Rosemarie Murphy, one of the original founders of the Albertson Square Civic Association and presently our Corresponding Secretary for listing some of the involvement with various issues.  Rosemarie continues, “I have seen so many changes in Albertson thru the years, but realize what might have been had there not been a Civic Association to represent the voices of the residents. ​

 

We would welcome some volunteers to help at our five general membership meetings throughout the year, to be a block captain, and other issues.
