CONTINUED... I am delighted that the officers are very enthusiastic in their respective stations. I am also grateful that the ladies of Lodge # 394 are giving their much needed support not only to the craftsmen of our lodge but also in abroad. I want to thank Bro. Sam Boyamyan and Bro. Rio Santonil for what they have done while I was away. It shows that the Senior and Junior Wardens are ready to take charge and lead.

Our trip to the Philippines was a memorable one. We had a great time at the AnCom of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the Philippines. The brethren were very glad to see a lot of delegates from California. We visited Leonard Wood Lodge #105 in Angeles, Pampanga.  Bro. Jess Medina introduced us to the brethren of Lodge #105 and the fellowship was great and a lot of laughter.

We also visited Father Edgar Panlilio, the priest and missionary of “Bahay Pag-Ibig” (House of Love) in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. He was so grateful from our response in his appeal for monetary donations to fix/replace their facility’s leaking roof. As I promised, we visited him and met the many residents, who gave us a very warm welcome. They continually gave us praise and extended their regards to the families of our Lodge.  Also, the roof was being replaced at the time of our visit.

Kudos to all the brethren and ladies who helped out during Science Fair with Torrance Unified School District held on April 8, 2004.  Thanks also to the brethren of Sunnyside Lodge who has been our partner in   our Annual Science Fair.  Also thanks to everyone who made it to our Mother’s Day Dinner.

Fraternally,
