THE TRESTLEBOARD

The year's installation season concluded with Charter Master Edwin Ubungin of Ang Bagong Bayan Masonic Lodge No. 463 occupying the East for the second year in a row as the Lodge's first regularly elected Worshipful Master. DDGM Hossain Shamsoddin Vostakalaei was on hand to greet the brethren whom he handed a donation of P20,000 for their temple construction project after the 8th and last leg of his farewell tour to the subordinate Lodges of Masonic District Nueva Ecija East and Aurora.  Of course, the last box of premium whiskey was also presented for the post-installation enjoyment of the brethren. 

The Province of Aurora has always been a place of happiness among the brethren because of the red carpet of amazing hospitality and awesome fellowship that Manuel L. Quezon Masonic Lodge No. 262 roll out in every District activity and for each visiting brethren, and this was the case in their 38th Installation Rites when DDGM Hossain Shamsoddin Vostakalaei and his party were warmly received and feted by outgoing WM Sherwin Amatorio.   And in the spirit of reciprocity and as a token of his continuing friendship, DDGM Hossain presented newly installed WM Leo Arevalo with his usual gift of premium whiskey as he concluded the 7th leg of his final tour as the District Deputy Grand Malster of R3 Nueva Ecija East and Aurora.

DDGM Hossain Shamsoddin Vostakalaei was a recipient of a Certificate of Appreciation from Kasiguruhan Masonic Lodge No. 423 that was presented by WM Alfredo Ocampo in recognition of the District Deputy Grand Master's support to the Lodge on the occassion of its 7th Installation Rites in Baler, Aurora. As a gesture of goodwill and his continuing friendship, DDGM Hossain gifted the Lodge with his usual box of premium whiskey in the same occassion that was received by WM Jonell Torregosa as the much anticipated installation season in Aurora kicked off.
