Family Day and Charter Anniversary
Updated: Sep 13
Last June 28, Makahambus Masonic Lodge No. 315 gathered at Chamen Resort in Iponan for the joint celebration of our Family Day and 31st Charter Anniversary. Around 40 brethren, together with their families, spent the day enjoying good food, fellowship, and each other’s company. The children filled the resort with energy as they enjoyed the pool, participated in games prepared for them, and had an especially fun time when the foam machine was turned on.
Away from the formality of our usual lodge gatherings, it was a day simply dedicated to strengthening friendships and enjoying the company of our Masonic family.
The celebration of our 31st Charter Anniversary also gave us an opportunity to look back with gratitude. We honored our past masters and presented them with simple tokens of appreciation for their leadership, dedication, and labor throughout the years.
The Lodge we have today stands upon the foundation laid by the brethren who came before us.
Reaching 31 years is not simply a measure of time but a testament to the commitment of generations of brethren who have worked together in the spirit of brotherly love, relief, and Truth.
It was fitting that on this important occasion, we recognized those who helped guide our lodge and preserve the principles and traditions we continue to uphold.
Perhaps the most meaningful part of Family Day is that our brotherhood extends beyond the walls of the Lodge.
Behind every brother is a family that supports the time and commitment we give to Masonry. While we brethren regularly see one another, our families may only have the opportunity to gather during occasions such as Family Day and our Christmas celebration.
These gatherings allow our spouses to strengthen their friendships and our children to form bonds w
ith one another. There is something special in seeing our children becoming friends because their fathers are brothers. In our simple way, we are building relationships that may last for generations—reminding us that the strength of our lodge is found not only in the brotherhood we share but also in the families who walk beside us.
