T
rinidad and Tobago have struck gold twice. Once with
Keshorn Walcott at the Olympics in London and once,
when our beloved country celebrated its 50th year of
Independence.
Of course, we, the Members of TTARP have also all struck
GOLD as well, having attained the golden age of 50. So, this
is indeed a time for celebrating life and liberty.
The number 50 has always been synonymous with change,
achievement and growth. In August 31st, 1962, Trinidad and
Tobago broke away from the British Colony
to become a sovereign nation. The people we
are today, reflect our past.
We must strive in unity to become a better
society – more humane, forgiving and
appreciative. One can ask, has all the
changes and growth made us a better society?
Or are we so merged with the past and the
present that we are unable to enjoy each
other’s contributions, denying ourselves
the wonderful experience of being a true
Trinidadian.
As persons over 50, TTARP members are
faced with the transitional challenges from
working to retirement. There are many
advantages of retirement, and at TTARP you
can thoroughly enjoy your Golden Years
as a member of an innovative and vibrant
organization.
50 !!! 50 !!!
However one may view this milestone for Keshorn, the
country and ourselves, we think that this Golden Jubilee is
deserving.
At TTARP, we congratulate our Olympic team for a job well
done in London and we congratulate the people of Trinidad &
Tobago on our 50th year of Independence.
Fifty years of Independence , Fifty years old to join TTARP…
Independent at 50, and beyond !!!
TTARP’s Honorary Secretary, Mayling Younglao celebrating with Keshorn Walcott,
Olympic Gold Medalist.
