LODGE 2016 WORK AND FINANCIAL PLAN RATIFIED

On his first regular stated meeting, Bro. Jojit Floro as Master of the Lodge presented his proposed Work and Financial Plan for 2016 that was ratified for implementation by members of the Lodge.

The broad strokes of the plan was collectively prepared by the Lodge Transition Team at its concluding meeting and cover activities related to the Lodge's continuing Temple building work (i.e. completion of the Lodge window panes and ceiling), fund raising events (i.e. the annual editions of the "Takbo para sa Bahay ni Kuya" fun run and "Temple Cup" golf tournament), traditional Lodge activities (i.e. "Operation Tuli", the Adopt-a-School project), revival of the 373 Bikers and the Temple Builders basketball, and expected District activities. The plan will be implemented with a budget of P487,372.00.

The financial plan was further refined and fleshed by the Lodge's Executive Committee before it was presented and approved by the brethren.
