BICYCLE MARATHON NETS Lm12,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a proud moment indeed when Mr Tony Caruana Smith, Headmaster
\n of the Dun Guzepp Zammit (Brighella) Junior Lyceum, presented
\n a cheque for Lm12,000 to Mgr Lawrence Gatt, Director of the
\n Dar tal-Providenza, as the proceeds from the Lyceum Bicycle
\n Marathon of last March. ALPS was represented at the occasion
\n by President George Stagno Navarra and Deputy President George
\n Grech, who with Council member Oscar Galea liaises between
\n the Association and the organising committee. <\/p>\n

In a speech Mr Caruana Smith thanked all those who participated
\n and helped in this year\u2019s event. Mgr Gatt in turn expressed
\n great satisfaction at the generous sum collected, which will
\n go towards the refurbishment of the main kitchen at the Providential
\n Homes. He then specifically turned towards our representatives
\n and thanked the Association of Lyceum Past Students for the
\n unprecedented efforts made this year to help the current Lyceum
\n students to collect such a handsome amount.<\/p>\n

\n Lm452 FROM FOUNDATION DAY CONCERT <\/strong><\/p>\n

The proceeds from the Foundation Day Concert of 28th April
\n amounted to Lm452. A cheque was presented to Fr Joe Forte
\n by Association President George Stagno Navarra together with
\n Cultural Commission Chairman and concert producer Joe Fenech.
\n The proceeds went towards works carried out at the Salesian
\n Theatre. <\/p>\n

\n SUB-COMMITTEE FOR ST ANNE\u2019S CHAPEL<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a meeting of the ALPS Council of Administration on 23rd
\n May a new sub-committee was formed to take care of St Anne\u2019s
\n Chapel at Pwales Valley. The committee is headed by Dr Nazareno
\n Azzopardi with members Leopold Scicluna and Oscar Galea.<\/p>\n

All present thanked outgoing Chapel Commission Chairman Charles
\n Calleja and his wife Ther\u00e8se for the work they did
\n ever since the chapel was entrusted to ALPS.<\/p>\n

\n LYCEUM ARCHIVES RESTORATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALPS has also set up an ad hoc committee to work with President
\n Emeritus Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, himself a Lyceum past student,
\n on the restoration of the Lyceum Archives. The committee,
\n made up of ALPS Project Coordinator Leopold Scicluna, George
\n Grech and Robbie Ferrante, is also being assisted by Lyceum
\n historian Winston Zammit and Charles Micallef St John.<\/p>\n

The project has the full blessing of Education Minister Louis
\n Galea.<\/p>\n

\n ZURRIEQ CULTURAL TOUR GOES WELL<\/strong><\/p>\n

The socio-cultural tour of Zurrieq on 12th May, led by Mr
\n Tony Terribile, went very well, although it could have been
\n better attended. <\/p>\n

The tour took in St Catherine\u2019s Parish Church with
\n its valuable Mattia Preti paintings and other treasures; the
\n two band clubs, Santa Katerina and Madonna tal-Karmnu; and
\n the exteriors of the restored Xarolla Windmill, the Armoury
\n and the medieval Hal Millieri Chapel, which could not be accessed
\n because of the current restoration works. But the interesting
\n information given by Mr Terribile made up for the disappointment.<\/p>\n

The cultural part of the tour was followed by an enjoyable
\n light lunch at the Blue Cave Restaurant at Wied iz-Zurrieq.\n <\/p>\n

\n SPIRITUAL RETREAT ANOTHER SUCCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet another success was registered at the annual Spiritual
\n Retreat at Manresa House, Gozo, between 25th and 27th May.
\n Various talks were given by Fr Henry Formosa SJ, with the
\n able assistance of new Manresa House Director Fr Anthony Cilia
\n SJ. <\/p>\n

There was a very welcome development this year because instead
\n of mainly listening, as in previous years, the participants
\n engaged the speakers in some lively discussions on various
\n topics of the Church\u2019s teachings, including modern family
\n life.<\/p>\n

\n MNARJA B.B.Q.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Association of Lyceum Past Students is organising an
\n Mnarja BBQ on the terrace of the Coastline Hotel, Salina Bay,
\n on Thursday 28th June at 7.30 for 8 p.m. Bookings, with pre-payment
\n at Lm6.75 per person, may be made with ALPS Social Commission
\n Chairman Alfred G. Formosa on e-mail agf313@yahoo.co.uk, telephone
\n 21 383486 or mobile 9924 6574; or Secretary-General Alex Borg
\n on 21 386812, mobile 9988 8579 or e-mail alps@global.net.mt.\n <\/p>\n

\n FEAST OF ST ANNE AT PWALES<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Feast of St Anne is being held at the Pwales
\n Chapel on Saturday 14th July, with Mass at 7 p.m. by ALPS
\n Spiritual Director Fr William Bartolo OFM Conv.
\n Mass will be animated by the Choir of the University of the
\n Third Age, led by Mro Joe Fenech. After Mass the choir will
\n sing some popular classics. The evening will be brought to
\n a close with a light reception for all present.<\/p>\n

LYCEUM GRAND REUNION 2007<\/strong><\/p>\n

The now-annual Lyceum Grand Reunion will be held on Saturday
\n 20th October at the Dun Guzepp Zammit (Brighella) Lyceum,
\n Hamrun. All Lyceum past students are cordially invited to
\n attend with their spouses, but there will be a special emphasis
\n on all those who left or entered The Lyceum in 1957 \u2013
\n 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

This year we also have a special appeal from Mgr Lawrence
\n Gatt, Director of the Dar tal-Providenza in Siggiewi. He would
\n dearly like to meet as many as possible of his old schoolmates
\n who entered The Lyceum in 1947 \u2013 that makes it 60 years
\n on!<\/p>\n

Every person on the ALPS membership list, as well as those
\n who are not yet members but attended any of the Grand Reunions
\n since 2005, will be contacted with a view to starting to get
\n a picture of prospected attendance at this year\u2019s Grand
\n Reunion. Such feedback is very important for planning purposes.\n <\/p>\n

For more information please contact ALPS Membership Commission
\n Chairman Anthony Aquilina on 21 373706, 7937 3706 or alps@global.net.mt.<\/p>\n

34U CAMPAIGN<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALPS Secretary-General Alex Borg is still accepting promises
\n of support from members and friends for the collective ALPS
\n planting of trees in the 34U campaign, pencilled in for late
\n October. The Association may be accorded its own area, probably
\n at the Kennedy Grove, with a prominent sign to that effect,
\n and the permanent maintenance of the trees will be taken up
\n by the Government.<\/p>\n

The idea was born well before the cowardly, terrorist act
\n of destroying 3,000 young trees at Mellieha, but that event
\n alone should make more members and friends of ALPS and their
\n families even more determined to counter the attack with new
\n trees. Each person or family planting a tree for Lm6 will
\n be photographed for a certificate showing name, picture, date
\n and place.<\/p>\n

MEMBERSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n

Membership fees of Lm5 for 2007, or Lm30 for life membership,
\n are payable to Treasurer David Abela at \u201cJuniper\u201d,
\n Triq Ganni Vella, Tal-Qattus, Birkirkara. <\/p>\n

We do need your fees to keep ALPS\u2019s financial ball
\n rolling. So if you know any other non-member Lyceum past students,
\n try to persuade them to join up too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
