Message from the Worshipful Master - June Stated Meeting

Happy Independence Day!

Last June 12, the three lights of Iligan Lodge 207 joined two scores of brethren led by DDGM Ben Alipio in the Independence Day Parade that meandered thru the city proper.  The program at the public plaza was lead by the Honorable Vice Mayor Henry Dy.  Very noteworthy, probably for the first time, the Salute To the Flag was delivered during the Independence Day at the public plaza by Bro. Cesar Miguel.

Indeed June is a very auspicious month.  Immediately before our stated meeting, we shall be conferring the 3rd degree of Masonry upon Bro.Genesis W. Olandag.  His relocation due to his new work assignment did not deter him from his intention to be raised in our lodge.  Soon after his passing, he signified his desire to be raised on June 19 - the birthday of WB Jose P. Rizal.  The brethren are requested to come on time so that we can open at 2:00 P.M.

Also, during the District caucus held June 2nd, we were designated lead lodge of a testimonial dinner to be tendered by the District R X-D, ARMM Lanao under DDGM Buenaventura C. Alipio to honor the brethren who received the people's mandate to serve and lead their respective communities in the May 10, 2010 election.   The testimonial dinner will immediately follow our stated meeting, thus, we will disperse with the usual Masonic education talk to keep our program short.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank the brethren who supported and joined the Family Bonding last May 23rd at Bro. Rene Tan's beach house at Dalipuga, this city.   By accident of having chosen the same beach, it became a joint activity of Maranaw Lodge 111 and Iligan Lodge 207.  Food and drinks were so plentiful that many skipped lunch because of the heavy pulutan.   There were games for children and brethren.  The ladies also had their aerobic dance exercise.   Congratulations to the brethren who worked hard to make the family bonding a huge success, particularly Bro. Abel Gomez, Bro. Carl Chan and WB Ronald Sy.

  1. Great BloGazine you have here.

    Thnak you Bro Pat for visiting my BloGazine... cheapest & easiest way to put your lodge ont he net without any web hoting.

    Welcome to the internet... another idea is to have your lodge on Facebook [if you don't have one yet!].

    More power,

    Sincerely & fraternally,

  3. Hello Bro Mario Baylon Jr.

    Thank you so much for your comments. I hope that I will have the chance to create a facebook account for our lodge. Again thank you for the great idea.



    Hello Bro Dino Maniquiz

    Thank you too for the comment. Great to know that a fellow Iliganon has chosen a path of enlightenment even in a distant land. My best regards to the brethren of your lodge. Animo!
