WM Armando Cazzola distribute the said wheelchair last stated Meeting of the lodge dated March 5, 2011 at exactly 10:00am with the brethren at the main hall of the temple. The day was filled with emotion as the brethren of 292 saw how really those children is in deeply needing of a wheelchair for them to be mobilized again. One of the main purpose of freemasonry is giving RELIEF to those who are in need like these children and their parents. The lodge provided them with food and drinks while the awarding is ongoing. The WM delivered a short message to the recipients of the wheelchair and explain briefly what freemasonry is all about since those who are present are civilians and have no IDEA what freemasonry is. Again the lodge shows its concern to the public thru this community project this was made possible by RW Juanito G. Espino Jr. and thru the SHRINNERS PROJECT for the crippled children. In lieu of this, the lodge will continue in giving another ten wheelchairs for the crippled children thru the effort of our WM Armando Cazzola donated initially 10,000php, Our Newly obligated Brother Michelle Fulcis also gave 10,000php and our JW Bro.

View from the EAST Because I am a Freemason ...... I believe that freedom of religion is an inalienable human right and tolerance an indispensable trait of human character; therefore, I will stand in my Lodge with Brothers of all faiths, and respect their beliefs as they respect mine, and I will demonstrate the spirit of Brotherhood in all aspects of my life. ... I know that education and the rational use of the mind are the keys to facing the problems of humanity; therefore, I will bring my questions and my ideas to my Lodge, and strive to advance the growth of my mind alongside my Brothers. ... I know that the rich tradition of Freemasonry and its

framework of Ritual are important platforms for growth and learning; therefore, I vow to stand upon these platforms to improve myself as a human being, and I vow to help in the mission of the Craft to provide tools, atmosphere, challenges and motivation to help each Brother do the same. ... I know that charity is the distinguishing human virtue, and that personal community service is the best demonstration of a Mason’s commitment to humanity; I acknowledge that words without deeds are meaningless, and I vow to work with my Lodge to provide service to the community, and to pro-

mote charity, friendship, morality, harmony, integrity, fidelity and love.I know that the last great lesson of Freemasonry -- the value of personal integrity and the sanctity of a Mason’s word of honor-- is a lesson for all people in all times; I therefore vow to be a man of my word. ... I know that Masonry’s power is best exercised when its Light is shared with the world at large; I therefore vow to bring the best of myself to my Lodge, in order that my growth might be fostered and nurtured, and to present myself to the world as a working Freemason, on the path to building a more perfect temple. Because I am a Freemason, these values and aspirations are the guiding lights for my progress through life.

Travelers Column “Carry

your work plumb, and Mark Well!”

The first impression is the strongest and longest lasting of all that a person has of another person. Make sure that your first impression is the best possible impression that you can make. Always carry yourself and your work plumb. Walk and carry yourself straight and upright.

/ San-Pedro-Lodge-No-292Free-Accepted-Masons

SOON WE WILL BE TWITTING!!!!

Be yourself. Show compassion, sympathy, love and affection. Treat others as you would want to be treated. When others watch you they are watching Masonry in action and at work. Make sure that you carry yourself and your work plumb so that you do not present a bad or incorrect opinion of Freemasonry. Never have to retract and try to make up for an error in judgment. Do it right the first time, in what you say and do. They remember longer what you

have said and did than what you meant to say or should have done. Do and say it right the first time. By always presenting yourself upright then you have marked well your actions and consequently Freemasonry. Freemasonry is often misunderstood. Let us not be the reason for any more of that misunderstanding. Let us not be the reason for others to be able to speak and write falsely about Freemasonry. Let each of us live by the lessons taught to us in the degrees of Masonry. By living by those lessons we

will, and cannot help but carry our work plumb and Mark Well for Masonry and for all mankind.
