On May 26, 2012, Saturday, at 7 PM, Fil-Can Cabletow Lodge No 189 held an Open Installation of the 2012/2013 Officers.
WM Melvin Arabe opened the Lodge and a very short business meeting was held.
The Lodge was called to Refreshment and the Ladies and visitors were then invited in the Lodge Room. We had a full Lodge Room.
VWB Jun Pagunuran (L) presented the Master Mason Certificates to the new Master Masons, Bro Neil Navarro (C) and Bro Dale Pineda (R).
WB Melvin Arabe, outgoing WM, gives his farewell message.
The gavel was turned over to RWB Ludo Grollé (in white jacket), who was the Installing Master.
Bro Cris Alip takes his Obligation as WM.
Congratulations, WM!
The Stewards are installed by WB Rico Villarin.
WM Cris Alip gives his inaugural address.
Sis Mae (C) presents the wife of the new WM, Sis Cory Alip, the working tools of a WM's wife. These were a cellphone, a rolling pin and an apron.
VWB Thor Weidenbacher excellently presented the Final Charge. Every time I hear it, I learn something new.
Bro John Catipon from Plaridel Lodge No 302, GL of New Jersey, is a first cousin of WB Cris Alip. Bro John congratulates the new WM.
I then gave my remarks.
