2010 DISTRICT CHRISTMAS PARTY
Bro. Dean Barry Lao is certainly cute laying in a manger. Likewise, Bros. Rafael S. Perez and Jojit DL Floro did their part well as Joseph and Mary, respectively. The 3 kings were regale indeed: Bros. Anthony V. Reyes, Marciano T. Dela Cruz, and Aquilino Valino, Jr. Not to be outdone are Bros. Manolo M. Mercado, Monico G. Delgado, and Ramon Sabacan as rock stars from the 1970s. And with Bro. Elpidio F. Dizon conducting, Model Lodge's skit of the "Panunuluyan" and rendition of "Rock Baby Rock" and "Feliz Navidad" earned it a prize in the annual District Christmas party's chorale competition.

MODEL LODGE SINGS AT DISTRICT CHRISTMAS PARTY
The impromptu Model Lodge choir belted out a classic Filipino Christmas carol "Ang Aming Bati ay Magandang Pasko" and the popular holiday love song “Pasko na Sinta Ko” during the annual Christmas party of Masonic District RIII-D (South Nueva Ecija-Aurora) in Cabanatuan City. The choir only had 3 practice dates and half of it came on the day it was to perform. But it was enough for a 5th place finish among a field of eight contesting lodges that was topped by the superb Kuyang-and-Ateng choir of Cabanatuan Lodge 53. Talavera 273 Lodge is a close second while Sta. Rosa Lodge 297 bagged third place.
For Model Lodge, the choir contest is not about competing and winning but being part of a wonderful camaraderie. The P2,000.00 consolation prize is more symbolic than a material reward. But of course, the feast and the fun that went with it filled the brethrens’ tired hearts with youthful joy. And even more with a stash of 3 DVD players, a home theater, an iPod, and a television set some of the lucky brethren took home from the raffle draw.
Thank you very much Bro. Emmanuel Anthony Umali (center in white pants below), the incumbent District Deputy Grandmaster and a Model Lodge charter member, for a night of gladness. And incoming brother Elpidio Dizon (front row, second from left below) of the CLSU Choir and Brass Band for conducting the choir so well it almost sounded like a pro.
