OF JPR AND PROFICIENCIES, AND A TRANSITION

Despite the ennui of a long vacation, the Lodge was able to assemble a sizeable delegation to Masonic District RIII-D's annual remembrance of Bro. Jose P. Rizal's martyrdom.

The commemoration and wreath laying was held in the grounds of the Cabanatuan City Hall and was presided by District Deputy Grand Master Jerome Malaca with the participation of the Cabanatuan City government, the Department of Education, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, and Appendant Bodies of Masonry.

And as was the tradition after the ceremony, the newly elected Masters and Wardens of the District's subordinate Lodges trooped to Kapatiran Lodge No. 228 for their practical and written proficiency examinations.

 
The Lodge take its proficiency examinations seriously so after the New Year's Day revelry, the incoming Thee Lights worked on the proficiency questionnaires under the guidance of the Lodge's Past Masters as the Transition Committee discuss preparations for the upcoming Temple Dedication and 8th Public Installation of Officers.
