Induction Dinner Dance Night: 4 Oct


You have to have one of the above tickets to attend and enjoy the FilMasons Induction Dinner Dance.

While the officers for 2008-2009 have already been inducted by no less than the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines (GLP), MW Bro Pacifico Aniag, this dinner dance is to formally present the new set of officers to the community.

This is one of the very few instances that the induction of officers was held in a private residence. It has been a while since an informal induction of officers was held in the 15 year history of the Club. This was not done to make history, but rather to take advantage of the presence of MW Bro Aniag and his delegation. This was a first in the history of the Club, a sitting GM inducting our officers; also the fact that a past president was “recycled” as President of the Club.

While this was not meant to make history, it did. But the very important aspect was the excellent speech of MW Bro Boy Aniag regarding the theme of his term as GM: Harmony. For those present, it was crystal clear how the GM explained how harmony should work in Masonry. Unfortunately, his speech was extemporaneous and no notes were available. Suffice to say, the induction, while very informal was made very special due to presence and wisdom of the GLP’s GM.

The details of the induction dinner dance: Saturday (long weekend), 4 October 2008 at the Corregidor Entertainment Centre and Restaurant, 122 Rooty Hill Road North, Rooty Hill NSW (across Saint Aidan’s Church). Start time is 6:00 PM for drinks. Attire is semi-formal. There will be very few formalities, and the rest of the evening will be dinner and dancing, to the sound of Del and Bona.

We hope to see there!
