Message from the Worshipful Master - May 21, 2011

WB Jaime P. Magnetico - Worshipful Master

Greetings My Brethren,

I would like to thank Bro. SW Abel Gomez, Bro. JW Roger Nuñeza, WB Oscar V. Badelles, WI Ronald U. Sy, WB Roger Remollo, VW Datumanong Saranggani, Bro. Ali Bari, WB Bill Bacareza, WI Ferdinand Bartolome & other brethren who joined me to the 95th ANCOM last April 28 to 30, 2011.  The venue, was at the Davao Convention and Trade Center.  It was a successful communication with 3,000 plus brethren in attendance.

I would like to apologize to the brethren of Iligan Lodge No. 207, that we have to move to the May stated meeting the celebration of our 36th Charter Anniversary.  due to the fact that most of the brethren were out of town last April stated meeting.  During this celebration let us reinvigorate the commitments we each made when we took our solemn pledge as a member of this lodge.  We will also honor our Past Masters for their outstanding leadership and achievements, and to remind ourselves that, like in the past, no goal is too high, no challenge is too great, and no task is too hard for the brethren who labor together in harmony.
