The opinions expressed herein are those of the writers,and are not intended to represent APOPGLA.
The recently concludedannual BasketballTournament was a highlysuccessful event whichculminated in a muchhyped rivalry betweentwo overachieving teams.Under the helm of ourdynamic duo – Brods
Toto Cascolan and Shane Miranda, we were able toengage in physical fitness while maintaining thecamaraderie amongst the brethren and kapamilyas.Don’t miss the awarding ceremonies on the 22nd at ourLuau Dinner-Dance. Everybody’s a winner here socongratulations are in order for us GLAers!
The 2nd Quarterly ACNA Meeting is just around the cornerand preparations are in full swing. There are several eventsthat will be happening simultaneously throughout like theRyder Cup, Texas Holdem Tournament, the Dinner-Danceand the $5.00 Raffle. We will be posting the committees inthe near future, so please be prepared to volunteer yourselfas we would be needing all the bodies we can get to ensurethe success of this mini convention.
Speaking of the raffle, our Fundraising Chairman, Brod JunLinsangan is requesting everybody to remit their tickets ASAP.Please let us know if you don’t have tickets yet or are needingmore so we can give you some. Proceeds from this drawingwill benefit our service projects and operating funds, whilethe takings from the Holdem Tourney will go to ourScholarship fund.
In our last GMM, we elected Brods Alex Dulay, HermanSomera and Ferdie Yambot as this year’s Comelec with BrodGil Pagado as Marshall. Coincidentally, our Policies andProcedures Committee have outlined the guidelines for theComelec to implement. As it’s always been through the years,August 31st is the deadline for a member to pay their annualdues in order to be eligible to vote, so please be guidedaccordingly.
Next month will be the Presentation of Candidates but sofar, we’ve only received feelers from a few. I would like toencourage the membership, especially those who have yetto serve the AA to step up to the plate and be counted.There’s nothing like the feeling of fulfillment in serving andI’m sure we can all relate to that. And besides, that’s whatwe do on a daily basis anyway, so why not carry it out fromwithin? It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime,what better place than here, what better time than now…

steam rolled the Gold Vets in the rubber match to become APOGLA2009 Veterans and “Kaldeng” Champions. But the real questionwas (and still is to this day), where did the “kaldeng” go?
In the Open Tournament for the much, much, much younger ones,it was a total dominating show of 3-point accuracy for Team PlanetOrange as they bamboozled the competition put up by the BlueBayous and the Gold Diggers in the double round tournament. Inthe championship game between the heroic Gold Diggers andPlanet Orange it was supposed to be a no contest. But at the startof the game, the gritty Gold Diggers, despite playing with just 5players, gave Planet Orange fits and chills with a stifling perimeterdefense and dominant inside play but eventually ran out of steam.In the end Planet Orange capped off their dominant season by takingthe crown as APOGLA 2009 Open Tournament Champs.
It was a great season for everybody. Thanks for participating and beinginvolved in one way or another. What started with a whimper, went outwith a bang. After all, it’s not how you start. It’s how you finish.

AGE 18 to 25“ Me, invest? Are you kidding? I’m just getting my education.You can’t expect me to be able to invest now. I’m young and Iwant to have a good time. After all, I’ll be in college for a yearor so. If and when I get out of college, I’ll start investing”
AGE 25 to 35“you don’t expect me to invest now, do you? Remember I’veonly been working a few years. Things will be looking up soonand then I’ll be able to invest. Right now I have to dress well inorder to make a good impression. Wait till I’m a little older.There’s plenty of time.”
AGE 35 to 45“How can I invest now? Married, children to care for, I have somany expenses in my life. When the children are a little older, Ican start thinking about investing.”
AGE 45 to 55“I wish I could invest now, but I just can’t do it. I have twochildren in college and it’s taking every cent and more to keepthem there, I’ve had to go into debt the last few years to meetthe college bills. But that won’t last forever, and then I can startinvesting.”
AGE 55 to 65“I knew I should be investing now, but money is tight. It’s notso easy for a man my age to better himself. About all I can do ishanging on. Why didn’t I start to invest twenty years ago? Wellmaybe something will turn up.”
AGE over 65“Yes, it’s too late now. We are living with our eldest son. Itisn’t so nice, but what else can we do? We have Social Security,but who can live on that? If only I had invested when I had themoney, you can’t invest after there is no income.”
