2009 San Diego Country Fair: 12 June - 5 July

June 1, 2009

Dear Worshipful Sir, Brothers, Sisters:

The 2009 San Diego County Fair is approaching very quickly. The Freemasons of San Diego will be hosting a booth at this year´s event. The dates for the San Diego Fair are: June 12 through July 05 (Closed Mondays: June 15 and 22). Please mark your calendar.

We would like to offer your lodge/group a full or partial day of operating the booth, on a "first come, first serve" basis. Lodges participating in manning the booth will be given the referrals we develop on a proportional basis and by geographic location.

Previous years have proven to be successful, generating up to 75 qualified referrals that added 25 new Brothers to our Fraternity. Many of these Brothers and their Ladies have moved forward into other Masonic Concordant and Affiliated organizations. We also often identify leads for the Ladies and Youth organizations. If your group would like to participate, please call or e-mail Tom Vergne at your earliest convenience.

All dates are currently open; however, we suggest you provide several date selections, in case another Lodge responds first. Information packets, instruction sheets and tickets will be provided and available after June 07, 2009 at Unity Masonic Lodge No. 632, 3366 Adams Ave. San Diego, CA 92116-1898 (Phone: 619.284-0925) .

Please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your date. Shifts will be approximately from 9:00 AM to2:30 PM (Morning Shift) and 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM (Evening Shift). At least four (4) per shift are required, so you´ll need at least eight volunteers.

Free parking is available and admission tickets will be provided for booth workers Thank you in advance for your consideration of this endeavor. We hope your Lodge receives lots of referrals and new petitions as a result of your efforts.

Fraternally and Sincerely,

Event Coordinators:

WBro T. B. Vergne, PM

Rajah Indarapatra Lodge No 387 Consecrated: 24 May 2009

Brethren,

I have witnessed the constitution of RAJAH INDARAPATRA LODGE NO. 387 in Marawi City last May 24 and it was my first time to experience that auspicious event; and I am so impressed with the solemnity of the ceremonies.

The installation of officers immediately followed and the Charter Master - VW BRO MUSA SARUANG departed slightly from the traditional inaugural address by eloquently enlightening the non-Masons in the audience about the basic principles of Masonry and why it should not be misconstrued as a religion.

The preparations were superb and the Maranao cuisine during lunch was perfect.

The trip to Marawi was indeeda rendezvous of sort, and the brethren were great hosts to all of us. Mabuhay kayo RAJAH INDARAPATRA LODGE NO. 387.
