I am a new member in the community and thought I would be welcomed with open arms. The website encourages all Alpine citizens to become members of the center. I was looking forward to going to a variety of events. But, when I attended the 1st event, it was obvious that there were favored members of the group. I thought it was odd, but it actually seemed encouraged...sort of like sitting at the cool kid's table in high school. Not very welcoming...and who was the man who kept coming out to "check on things"? Is he the board president? I overheard him talking to people in a very, loud voice...telling them they were breaking a rule? Where are the rules posted and why the public embarrassment before that man scurried back to his hobbit hole? I am not going back. read more

If you're going to use this as a recreational field, you need to at least provide adequate parking for those you invite to play against you. Not everyone who is disabled can attain a blue parking placard easily. If I want to stay and watch my kid play baseball, I have to trek further than necessary, and we will not be coming here again. read more

Attended a community "meet the candidates" event. Open room with plenty of space and excellent facilities.

Cindy Robertson and her team at the Alpine Community Center just helped us with a very large fundraising event for our team, QUEST FOR THE CURE. We were moving our event to the ACC as we had outgrown our previous venue. I was a bit nervous about making a change but Cindy assured me that I would be pleased with the outcome and I certainly was. We used the Grand Ballroom and the adjoining patio to handle the 200 to 300 people we anticipated for our Friday night event. Cindy showed me the facilities, including kitchen, bathrooms, the patio, lobby and all the available parking. She was instrumental in assisting in getting our County Event Permit required for our fundraiser, which is always a hassle. She gave us every break she could on costs for the room, tables, tablecloths, linens, set up and breakdown after the event. Cindy waived many costs in full, as well. She also explained how the ACC would handle the bar, her staffing for the night time event and what I would need to do with the caterer. Everything was made clear and easy to understand. The day of the event they actually adjusted their staffing at ACC to accommodate our need to receive equipment from Alpine Rentals, to set up and decorate the room and patio. Their handling of two bars by ACC staff was courteous and efficient. After the event concluded we had ample time to remove our items and ACC staff were wonderful in breaking down not only their tables and gear, but helped us to break down the belly bar tables that the rental company would pick up later. The Grand Ballroom is clean, light, airy and felt spacious. It accommodated our very large crowd and everyone was pleased with our new location for our fundraising event. Feed back was really enthusiastic. The caterer (DESCANSO JUNCTION) found it smooth and easy to work with ACC and appreciated that ACC had a delegated staff person assigned as a dishwasher for our event. The kitchen is clean and well organized. Parking, including handicapped is plentiful and access to the building is handicap friendly. Bathrooms are very clean. I am so happy that we moved our event to the Alpine Community Center. I look forward to hosting our annual event there for years to come and would highly recommend Alpine Community Center for your event. Cindy Robertson even made a generous donation back to us on top of all the perks she threw in to make this event a huge success. read more
