Lodge Jose Rizal's May 2013 Meeting
Though Lodge Jose Rizal’s May meeting was a dress rehearsal of the Third Degree, Filipino Constitution [Grand Lodge of the Philippines - GLP] for two big meetings yet to come, Lodge Turumurra on Saturday the twenty fifth of May tyling at five thirty and the Egyptian Room at Petersham on Saturday the first of June; all in attendance benefited greatly by their attendance as all learned much more about the Third Degree than book or word of mouth could ever tell and; the Tribute to Mother at the Festive Board on the eve of Mother’s day touched ever one’s heart, a most enjoyable, educational and unforgettable evening.
With approaching thirty in the Lodge Room and W Bro Manuel Santos in the chair, the Lodge tyled at six o’clock and the minutes, correspondence and general business was quickly dealt with by the Lodge Secretary, RW Bro Fidel Pamplona. The accounts and monies outstanding as well as financial statements were then presented and dealt with by the Lodge Treasurer RW Bro Emmanuel Maniago before all visitors were admitted and cordially welcomed by the Worshipful Master.
The Lodge was then taken from Labour to Refreshment and after a short comfort break, the Lodge Room was prepared for the coming rehearsal. After some instruction as to the response to be given by all, in regards to the knocks by the Master in the Chair W Bro Romy Nieto, and Bro Rommel Cruz as candidate, the ceremony commenced. The officers obviously enjoyed their respective roles and needed little or no guidance as the rehearsal unfolded, a ceremony, on similar lines, but far divorced from the ceremony practiced in Australia.
Section one completed and no time to rehearse the second section, the Lodge was bought back from Refreshment to Labour and all final business dealt with including Inquiries and announcements before the Worshipful Master closed the Lodge and all retired to the South to join family and friends.
Grace was said by the Lodge Chaplin Bro Julio Roson and the Loyal toast proposed before all enjoyed a beautiful meal prepared and presented by the Ladies of Lodge Jose Rizal which was so delicious that many went back for more. The Director of Ceremonies, W Bro Kris Albano then took the floor and invited many couples to the front to speak of their marriage and relationship and on completion and a photo opportunity taken, were given a long stemmed red rose.
Such is the Peace Love and Harmony of Lodge Jose Rizal, a Lodge of honour and pride for the members to belong to, a Lodge of experience and example for those who visit,
May it long Flourish-Grow and Prosper.
‘To Our Next Happy Meeting at Lodge Jose Rizal No 1045’
Which meets at the Castle Hill Masonic Centre, usually on the Second Saturday [odd months] but the next meeting will be held on the Third Saturday in June the fifteenth.

Newsflash from the Wor Master
I would like to inform the Brethren who were not able to witness the installation of W Bro Tony Saputil that it was a big success and very well attended. Our lodge had a big fraternal and I would like to thank the Brethren and Sisters who came along to support W Bro Saputil's installation at Lodge Beauty of Cabravale.
Our two EAs, Bro Kalra and Bro Eugenio will be Passed to the Second Degree at Lodge Hornsby [Turramarra Masonic Centre , 1247 Pacific Highway, Turramarra] on Wednesday, 15 August 2012, tyling at 7 pm. Any brother who is available on the night please find time to support our candidates. I will be meeting the candidates at the Castle Hill Masonic Centre's [CHMC] car park and depart at 6pm and we will be car pooling from there.
The next big event for LJR is the Exemplication - Conferral of Third Degree under the GLP's Jurisdiction on Saturday, 01 September 2012 tyling at 5pm, CHMC. It is our regular meeting for September [vice 2nd Saturdays] and I am looking forward to see a big number of attendance on the night. We will be expecting a rough estimate of brethren numbering more than 150 MMs, [could not be less, but could be more, Grand Lodge's delegation is not less than 40!]. We have to help each other as this is a very big activity of our lodge.
Finally, still in the planning stage, "The Tribute to the Ladies" on Sunday, 14 October 2012, from 12.30pm, CHMC. This is a family get together lunch and presentation to the ladies for their support to our fraternity. Give your number to our JW so we could estimate the food that we will be preparing.
Sincerely and Fraternity,

From our Wor Master
Brethren, and Ladies,
Once again, I could not hide my happiness to see a lot of brethren of LJR, Amasons [Ladies] and their families in big number during our May stated meeting. I hope that your loyalty and support to the lodge will continue to flourish.
Bro Rommel Cruz was formally introduced to the most ancient and honourable fraternity and I trust that he will have a long and fruitful association with the craft. I was also very pleased with the way Bro Beringuel and Bro de Guzman delivered; for the first time the Mode of Preparation and Final Charge respectively. As a reward for their efforts, I told them to deliver the same charges during our 14 July meeting.
W Bro Singh delivered with authority the First Working Tools and Bro Buenavista did a fantastic job for the first time as Inner Guard. In general, all those who participated to the degree work that night are worthy to be commended.
Till here, see you all on our next happy 18th meeting [14 July 2012]. I hope that your loyalty and support to the lodge will continue to our next happy meeting.
Sincerely and fraternally,
VW Bro Rudy ROMEROSA PDGDC
Worshipful Master
