Congratulations to W Bro Erick Dela Cruz on his Installation to the Chair of King Solomon of Lodge Gowrie of Canberra No. 715 and the Investiture of his Officers!

A sincere thank you as well to W Bro Allan Manalac for serving as Installing Master with the assitance of RW Bro Jay Tayag Grand Director of Ceremonies delivering a ceremony that was both meaningful and well conducted.

We were honoured to have the Most Worshipful Grand Master, MW Bro Khris Albano, in attendance, together with a strong delegation of Grand Lodge Officers from the United Grand Lodge of NSW & ACT. It was wonderful to see visiting brethren travelling from far and wide to support the Lodge and share in the fellowship of the evening.

The celebrations continued with a fantastic banquet at the Hellenic Club, filled with great food, warm camaraderie, and true Masonic spirit. In a thoughtful nod to Valentine’s Day, roses and chocolates were presented to the ladies — a lovely gesture that added to the joy of the occasion.

Wishing you a rewarding and successful year in the Chair, Worshipful Master. May it be a year of harmony, growth, and brotherly love. 🌹🍫
