Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County and Albany County Executive Mike Breslin will celebrate Weatherization Day on Thursday.

The event will highlight the energy efficiency improvements at the senior housing complex, which were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and will raise awareness about weatherization services.

The Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families and individuals to permanently reduce their utility bills by making their homes more energy efficient. Weatherization services may be applied to both owner and rental occupied buildings as long as the eligibility requirements are met.

The Brunswick Harley Owners Group (HOG) is holding its 13th annual Toys for Tots Benefit Ride to raise funds and gather toys for the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots Program on Sunday, November 6.

The event begins with registration at 11 a.m. at Brunswick Harley Davidson at 1130 Hoosick Rd. in Troy and continues with a guided parade of bikes at noon. The parade will travel down routes 7 and 142, through Lansingburgh, Waterford, Crescent, Halfmoon, Niskayuna, Schenectady and end up at the Marine Recruiting Station at the Schenectady County Airport.

Last year, the group says that excellent weather and an overwhelming biker response, resulted in over 400 bikes participating in the event. In addition to donating a bundle of toys, the event raised over $4,500 for this program.

The price of admission to this event is one unwrapped new toy or $10 per person. Toys for older children are particularly needed.
