ALPS HOLD THEIR  REUNION AFTER A LAPSE OF THREE YEARS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past three years whilst the Covid-pandemic was at its peak, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the members and friends of The Association of Lyceum Past Students,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

never failed to keep in touch by means of mobile texting,  or e-mail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

announcements that have from time to time been issued by ALPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, after a lapse of three years came the time to again send an invitation to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all members and friends of the association, for holding a 28th anniversary reunion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

celebration. On  Saturday the 24th September 2022,  the Gizwiti church at Valletta<\/p>\n\n\n\n

came truly alive with a numerous congregation participating for holy mass, listening <\/p>\n\n\n\n

to a well prepared homily by none other than the Rev. Dr. Nicholas Doublet. Mons. Lawrence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gatt also concelebrated with Fr. Nicholas The ceremony  lasted nearly an hour in church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ALPS group then walked into the Old Liceo Building at Merchants Street Valletta, where<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they could meet and enjoy each other\u2019s company after a long time. Those were hard times <\/p>\n\n\n\n

when the association could not bring together its members and friends for socializing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many are now of advanced age and such occasions that ALPS organize for them, keeps them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in touch and  happy, to reminisce from the good old times of their younger years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reunion party lasted till late.  Guests were then ferried back by shuttle mini-bus transport<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to their cars that they had  parked  at Floriana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was memorable evening to remember. It certainly brought back memories of happier times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the  inoculations that most of us have received over the past year, the guests were seen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

laughing and chatting and joking and having a real good time. Face masks were put aside. Hopefully<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there will be no new infections recorded from such gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When addressing the guests, The Alps president George Stagno Navarra, emphasized on the fact, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

that the association makes its best to keep  members happy and fully adjourned with all that is going <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on around them in this world. He went on to tell everyone, that the time is fast approaching for a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A transition from the old to a younger generation of council members,  will ensure continuity to lead ALPS <\/p>\n\n\n\n

into a bright future. The association motto NIL MEDIOCRITER plays its role.  We must therefore continue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to do things in the right way, for the benefit of our members and friends and to the benefit of ALPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
