Message from the Worshipful Master - November 19, 2011

Greetings from the East.

I would like to thank the following brethren from our lodge who went with the Worshipful Master to Oroquieta City or the "The City of Good Life" & participated in the 18th Western Mindanao Masonic Convention last November 4-5, 2011:  Bro. Abel Gomez, VW James T. Yu, Bro. Ali Bari & VW Warly Sanguila.

The Convention was hosted by the Masonic District R-X-C & lead by the Gregorio O. Calit Memorial Lodge No. 154.  The team from our district was headed by our DDGM, VM Ed Banawa, in attendance also were ILL. Ben Alipio, VW Cocoy Abbas, VW Steven So, WB Cesar Miguel, WB Kharis Maranda, WB Khalil Maranda, WB Jing Naga, WB Sonny Alonto, WB Manoling Reyes, Bro. Jing Rahon, Bros. Lester Salazar, Bro. Sammy Huertas, and etc.

The convention was graced by the Most Worshipful Juanito P. Abergas, Grand Master of Masons of the Philippines.  The theme of the convention was "Integrity, Fidelity, Ability, Hallmarks of a True Mason" which was deeply expounded by Grand Master in his message.

Brethren, as we come to the close of this Masonic year, I would like to thank all of you for the effort you have put forward to make this year a success.  But we still have a long way to go.  I am asking your kind heart to continue & support the remaining activities of the lodge.

We will have a fellowcraft Mason degree passing before the stated meeting this coming November 19.  We will need some brethren at lodge to help with the degree work.  On December 10 is our "Family Bonding" and "Christmas Party at the Beach House of Bro. Rogelio Nuñeza in Linamon, Lanao del Norte.

December 17, 2011 is our stated meeting and election of officers.  I asked that all of you come to lodge and have your say in the leadership of the lodge for 2012.

If you have not made arrangements with the secretary, a 2011 dues will be required for you to qualify to vote.

WB Jaime P. Magnetico, Worshipful Master
