26th PMAAI Nat'l Convention: 3 to 5 Sept

Fraternal greetings!

Our 26th PMAAI Annual National Convention is just around the corner, which, we all know, will be held in Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, 4000 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103, on Sept 3 to 5.

I would like, also, to thank the Las Vegas Chapter, FILAMON, headed by WBro Rolly Pascual, in advance for being our support chapter in Las Vegas. They are a big part of our Convention preparation and success.

Three Grand Masters are attending our Convention this year, MW Bro Avelino "Sonny" Razon, (Grand Lodge of the Philippines) , MW Bro Godofredo "Santy" Lascano (Grand  Lodge of Washington) and MW Bro  Carl "Bud" Banks (Grand Lodge of Nevada). Please  join me in giving them a warm welcome in Las Vegas. One will seldom witness having three sitting Grand Masters in different Jurisdictions at the same place and time. As we all know, MW Bro Lascano is the second Filipino-born Mason to become a Grand Master here in the US. He will be a good inspiration to all of us, Filipino-American Masons.

Again, thank you for your continued support to our Organization, PMAAI.

God bless us all.

Fraternally,

Bro. Dandy Barawid, PM
PMAAI President
