News Flash--Capital Investment Drive!
First Phase--Commemorative Tiles
We are delighted to invite you to participate in an exciting program to help maintain and preserve our wonderful, historic Alpine Town Hall, also known as the Alpine Woman's Club building.
Our building, constructed in 1899, is one of Alpine's most significant treasures. Designated an historic site by the San Diego County Historic Site Board in 2006, it has stood prouodly in Alpine for over a century. As Alpine's original Town Hall, it has housed every type of event imaginable--graduations, movie nights, Red Cross activities during World Wars I and II, town meetings, weddings, funerals, dances and more. Almost everyone in our community has a story from their past relating to the building. The Alpine Woman's Club acquired the Town Hall, along with the responsibility for its maintenance and preservation, in 1932.
Members of the Alpine Woman's Club have donated their time, talents and resources to preserve and maintain this stately building for the enjoyment of our generation and future generations. It is with this dedication that we invite you to join us in contributing to our Capital Investment Drive (CID). Funds received for the Capital Investment Drive will be used solely for the preservation, maintenance and required improvements to the building.
The first phase of the CID is the opportunity to purchase a commemorative tile designed and personalized by Annie Norton, a prominent local artist and Club member. The tile will be displayed along the new access ramp to be constructed on the east side of the building. There are a limited number of tiles available and they will be issued on a first come, first served basis at $250 each. Don't delay reserving your tile(s)! Send an e-mail today to request reservation of a tile, or contact Margaret Smith at (619)659-0050 for further information.

Alpine Kiwanis Kiwanis is an international organization devoted to the principle of service; to the advancement of individual community and national welfare; and to the strengthening of international goodwill. The name “Kiwanis” was adapted from the expression “Nunc Kee-wanis” in the Otchipew (Native American) language, meaning “We have a good time,” “We make a noise,” or “We trade or advertise.” The Alpine Kiwanis club was chartered on January 1, 1951. When the club was chartered, Alpine was a small community of about 2,000 residents. Interstate 8 was only on the drawing boards and the only way to travel east from San Diego was on Highway 80 which passed through the main street in the town of Alpine.
Alpine Bert Fuller VFW Post 9578 The Veterans of Foreign Wars organization has a rich tradition in enhancing the lives of millions through its community service programs and special projects. From providing free phone cards to our nation’s active-duty military personnel to raising money for the World War II memorial, the VFW is there, “honoring dead by helping the living." The Alpine Post’s Charter was signed January 13, 1973, and held their meetings at the Casino Inn on Old Highway 8. When the Post outgrew the Casino Inn, Tom Dyke generously donated his property at 844 Tavern Road to the Post. This site has become the Post’s permanent home.

hand to promote, enrich and preserve the history of Alpine.
