The most important fundraiser of the year for the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter can also be a ton of fun for dogowners and their pets. The third annual Wiggle Waggle Walk is set for this Sunday, June 8, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal on Bay Farm Island.

This week, high school students across the island received their yearbooks, a valuable keep sake of this historic year. Alameda High School (AHS) distributed its yearbooks last Monday, and Encinal High School (EHS) distributed yearbooks on Tuesday.
