WB ALYKHAN UMPA ALI
Worshipful Master
Brethren
First of all, let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to all brethren who supported me in the joint installation of lodges in the City of Iligan. The installation ceremony presided by VW Stephen T. Monterroyo, PDGL as the installing Master was very impressive, assisted by WB Lester R. Salazar and WB Pat D. Noel. The installation was also meaningful to me with the presence of the Grand Master, MW Voltaire T. Gazmin.
This month begins the journey of presiding Iligan Lodge No. 207. I might be the shortest Master who will sit in the East with a stint of only nine (9) months, with your support we will make a difference. We are preparing a three year development program for the lodge to ensure continuity of our works. We will present this plan next meeting. I am hoping that we could make a foundation to bring Iligan Lodge No. 207 the jewel of the district.
This month is also the Grand Lodge Annual Communication, April 27 - 29 at Tagaytay City. Five brethren from Iligan Lodge No. 207 is set to attend the said event. We urge others who have the time on this important activity of the Grand Lodge.
I wish we could do our 2017 celebration of lodge formation 42 years ago this month. However, the activity needs preparation especially it's also the Past Masters month. We decided to move this event to May 20, 2017 to enable us to have substantial preparation. The Worshipful Master and brethren is looking forward for the Past Masters who are in Iligan City to attend this memorable day.
Brethren your presence in our monthly meeting is a joy to me. Please join us for a pleasant evening with the other brethren of the district.
