FIRST HONORARY MEMBER ELECTED


In recognition and grateful appreciation of his unwavering support that helped establish Model Lodge 373, District Grand Lecturer Bro. Antonino Manabat was unanimously elected as the Lodge’s first and so far only honorary member.

It was Brother Tony who was then the Worshipful Master of Talavera Lodge 273 in 2004 who recommended and endorsed the creation of Model Lodge which was against the odds at that time. It is for this reason that Talavera Lodge 273 is considered, albeit unofficially, as Model Lodge’s “Mother”.

Brother Tony was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in 1994. In 2001, he was recognized as the Most Outstanding Master Mason of Talavera Lodge 273 where he later served as Worshipful Master. He was also adjudged as the Most Outstanding Grand Lodge Inspector of Masonic District No. 29 in 2005. Brother Tony is a graduate of the Institute of Masonic Education and Studies and is currently a District Grand Lecturer for Masonic District RIII-D.
