MESSAGE FROM THE EAST

WB Ali M. Bari
Worshipful Master

Brethren,

Greetings and May the Grand Architect of the Universe bless us and our loved ones with good health.

The First District Convention held last 9 August 2014 was very successful for once more, it renewed the harmony in our district.   The whole process of the convention was held on time.  RW Tomas G. Rentoy III, Deputy Grand Master of Masons graced the affair; with Hon. Mamintal A. Adiong, Jr. the Provincial Governor of Lanao del Sur as the Guest of Honor and Speaker.  The Junior Grand Lecturer, WV Conrad Lim was in attendance.  There were 122 brethren registered on this convention, our lodge was officially represented by 22 members, second highest registered lodge.  The highlight of the convention was the nomination of Junior Grand Warden from our district.  WB OSCAR V. BADELLES, Past Master of Iligan Lodge No. 207 was the unanimous choice of the brethren.  After the closing of the convention, bowling fun tournament was held at the Midtown Bowling Lane.  The overall champion was Lake Lanao Lodge 227, followed by Rajah Indarapatra Lodge 387.  Congratulation to our Marawi brethren!

Our Bring-a-Frined program was postponed to September 20, 2014.  This will give more time in the preparation of the program inasmuch as we are inviting non-masons to join us in this affair.

TOGETHER BRETHREN let us make once more Iligan Lodge No. 207 the jewel of the Masonic District!
