Message From The Worshipful Master - August 20, 2011

Message from the Worshipful Master, WM Jaime P. Magnetico

VW Graciano Audwin T. Garzon dropped his working tools last August 7, 2011 at 4:55 P.M.  He is a great lost to our fraternity as one of the pillars of Iligan Lodge No. 207.  I would like to thank the brethren for your untiring support both financially & morally to the orphans of VW Audwin Garzon.  We were ablr to raised the amount of PhP20,200.00 & I turned over personally to Carl Garzon.  VW James T. Yu & Co. gave also PhP20,000.00.  I would like also to thank the brethren from the other lodges in the district for doing the same.

We had a quite successful Skin Seminar on particular topic "Restoring Youth and Beauty the Non-surgical corrESthetiques Way."  Conducted by Dr. Jesse J. Corres last August 10, 2011.  It was attended by our Sisters & through the effort of WB Vic Mariano.

As reported by WI O.V. Badelles that "Operation Kalamdagan, the free eyeglasses distribution project, was successfully implemented as planned last August 11 & 12, 2011 at the U.D.L. Masonic Center, Quezon Ave., Iligan City."  I would like to thank our benefactors, Mr. Leo & Mrs. Narcisa Cruz of Chicago, USA, and again through the effort & connection of WB Victor Mariano.  I would like also to thank WI Oscar V. Badelles, for his chairmanship of the program for the successful distribution of 865 reading glasses to the indigents residence of Iligan City.  Likewise, I would like to thank Sis. Belinda Badelles & daughter Mariz Badelles in charge of the actual distribution.  I would like to thank all the brethren who help in making the program very successful.
