Bulletin and Summon of Regular Stated Meeting March 17, 2018 (By Dispensation)

Message from the East
Bro. KHALIQUZZAMAN M. MACABATO
Worshipful Master

Assalamu Alaykum!

Brethren, let me congratulate you for the overwhelming success of our Installation last February 17, 2018.  The success of our installation could not have been possible without your support.  The significant number of brethren who shared their precious time to us during that momentous event made the affair more memorable.  The noticeable presence of our Past Masters made the ceremony more meaningful.  Our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all of you for the support you have extended for the success of that very important event.  I hope that your support will continue even beyond my term.

Our deepest thanks and gratitude to the installing team : VW Musa C. Saruang, PDGL, Installing Officer; VW Arassad M. Macumbal, PDGL, Master of Ceremonies;  and, VW Saidale S. Mohamad, PDGL, Assistant Master of Ceremonies.  Our profound thanks to VW Datumanong D. Sarangani, PDGL, for his delivery of the Ancient Charges.  Indeed, the ceremony went on smoothly and solemnly with the help of your eloquent and proficient performances.

We also thank the Amaranth and DeMolay for their active support in setting up the venue for the Fellowship and rendition of surprise number.

Our sincerest thanks and gratitude also goes to  all the visiting brethren who graced that memorable event.

Brethren, we had started this Masonic Year with high hopes that we can accomplish more in achieving the goals of our Lodge.  As I mentioned in my Inaugural Speech, that we will adopt all the traditional activities of our lodge but we need to reengineer and redesign the conduct of our activities to make it more attuned to the demand of the present time.

Freemasonry had evolved into a more open society.  Numerous changes and innovations were introduced in our Ancient Craft.  Hence, it is inevitable that our Lodge should take positive steps that will lead to our success in the light of the continuing changes in our fraternal order.

In consideration of these new developments, I now ask your support to actively participate in our Lodge activities.  We assure you, my brethren, that we will have vibrant activities; i.e., one that is responsive to the needs and benefits of Freemasonry in general and of the brethren of Iligan Lodge No. 207 in particular.

Togther, brethren, let us bond together to endeavor to live up to our Motto - "Harmony is the Strength of our Lodge".

Thank you and May the GAOTU bless us all!!
