TWO BIRTHDAYS IN JUNE

The first was of course the 116th birthday of the Philippines as a free nation which members of Model Lodge and the Order of the Amaranth's Model Court No. 55 commemorated with local government officials of Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija.

It was only the second time for the Lodge to celebrate Independence Day in its host municipality.

And it intends to be that way in the future as the Lodge gears for a more active and visible role within its immediate community.

The 116th Independence Day is also an indicator of the Lodge's maturity as an organization by showing its willingness to execute pipelined activities even in the absence of the Master who was out of country at that time.

The same is reflected during the District's 153rd commemoration of Bro. Jose P. Rizal's birthday in the grounds of the Cabanatuan City Hall.

It was a working day, an early morning rite, and the Master was still out.

But the Lodge as a disciplined organization responded and was able to participate through some of its members and the representatives of Model Court No. 55.
