Brethren:

Last July 30, 2016, our Lodge participated in the IMES District Ritual Olympics together with the rest of the lodges under MD RX & ARMM Lanao Provinces.  Thanks to the team of Judge Valerio V. Rovira Lodge No. 259 under WB Reynaldo O. Mancia who filled-up the vacant positions since most of our Elected/Appointed members at that time were not around to attend an equally important activities.  Special mention to Bro. Carl Irwin P. Garzon, our Senior Deacon who performed his part almost perfectly & following our new blue monitor.  Declared winners were JJVR Lodge No. 259 for the Opening Rituals & Radjah Indarapatra Lodge No. 387 for the closing.  My Congratulations to the winning teams.

The 3rd MD RX & ARMM Lanao Province District Convention was held last August 6, 2016 at Elena Tower Inn, Iligan City.  Registration started at 10am followed by the Stated meeting of Lake Lanao Lodge No. 227, the lead lodge whose Worshipful Master WB Omar S. Mahamad, Sr., as Convention Chairman.  Convention proper was between 1 to 4:30 in the afternoon.  A testimonial & Fraternal Night was held to honor our brethren under the district or within the district who were elected to public office.  The 5 out of 10 Honorees present were Bro. Majul U. Gandamra, Bro. Allan I. Lao, Bro. Jamal E. Manabilang, WB Samuel P. Huertas, PGLI, & VW Ian C. Uy, PDDGM.  Ceremonial Toasts was given by VW Warlito M. Sanguila, PDDGM before VW Alan U. Buenaventura, DDGM, delivered the message from the Grand Lodge.

Our Lodge was designated to handle the foods/drinks preparation & physical arrangements.  Thanks to Bro. Alykhan U. Ali, SW, who provided his vehicle to transport needed lodge paraphernalia to the venue & vice-versa.  WB Pat D. Noel took charge of the documentation esp. during the evening.  Thanks also to the Iligan Lodge 207 brethren who supported this activity and who registered to reach our required number of participants.

Thank you & May the GAOTU bless us all!
