ALPINE UPDATE 9

TIME OF MY LIFE
NEW CHARITY
2019—2020
I realise I've reached the time
When it's very plain to see
That I now must be selective
In what my preferences will be.
No longer can I toss a coin
To see which direction I should go.
As far as speed in getting there,
Only one would fit, and that is SLOW.
It's wise to have a goal each day,
There is no doubt about it.
A reason to rise each morning.
No one should be without it.

RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Life has much to offer
QUIZ NIGHT To each and everyone.

I hope to conquer many things
Before my time is done.
When I've fulfilled my challenges,
And hopefully passed each test,
Then I will wave a fond good goodbye,
Content I've done my best.

The Alpine Residents Association held a quiz night
for its members on the 25 July. Held after the
general meeting, it was a successful evening with
well over 80 Residents Association members taking
part. With teams of 6 making up the 14 tables, it
was a fun night for all.
