Model Court is a tightly knitted family and empathy among its members is a defining trait.
So when a member underwent a chemotherapy procedure for breast cancer, the Honored Ladies of the Court led by the Royal Matron came together in a solid show of solidarity to one of their own.
It was for her benefit and those who share the same predicament that the Court unanimously agreed to make breast cancer prevention advocacy a major priority project for next year.
The school plans to improve its perimeter fence to secure its students and premises but it does not have enough funds to do so.
So Model Court teamed up again with Model Lodge and the Munoz Bodies (AASR) and raised enough funds to procure 30 bags of cement that were turned-over to the Kabulihan Elementary School in Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija for the improvement of their school perimeter fence.
It was a fitting finale to the Court's a year-long partnership with its host Blue Lodge and Scottish Rites Masons in community service and charity work.
With its focal organizational development program almost concluded, Model Court shifted its membership recruitment to high gear with five new members joining its rooster during its February regular meeting.
Model Court warmly welcome HL Nenita B. Perez, the wife of SK Rafael S. Perez, and SK Rogelio Villamante, Jr. and HL Sarah Joyce Villamante from Model Lodge No. 373 who were initiated into the Order during a ceremony for such that was presided by the Royal Patron with HL Haydee F. Floro as Conductress.
Also finally officially joining the Court are HL Haydee F. Floro and SK Manuel B. Francisco from Panatabangan-Bonari Court No. 46 whose petitions for affiliation were regularly elected by the members present.
At the same meeting, the month's birthday celebrants were also recognized and feted by the Royal Matron.
Welcome to Model Court and Mabuhay!
On the Day of Hearts, Model Lodge and the Sir Knights of Model Court feted their Honored Ladies with a night out sans the the kids and cares of the world.
The Master of the Lodge himself, SK Fitzgerald Hierco, led in presenting three red roses each to the Honored Ladies and sisters in attendance in the first ever Valentine's Party to be organized by both the Lodge and the Court.
It was a "Model Lodge loves Model Court" thing but the spotlight is on the ladies of the Lodge and the Court.
In other words, "Sina Ateng and bida"!
And the Sir Knights made sure the Honored Ladies felt the love of that night.
It was also an opportunity to reach out to former members of the Court who came and graced the occasion, and hopefully encourage them to renew their membership.
And a moment of bonding with other members of Amaranthine Courts within the jurisdiction of District V.
On this night, Model Lodge and Model Court wishes all those who loved, have been loved, and are always in love wherever they are in the world!
Model Court through its Royal Matron is proud to be part of the first ever Nueva Ecija Personal Essay Writing Workshop that was participated by 15 budding writers from Nueva Ecija who were selected to participate after a tough screening process.
The Royal Matron helped raised funds to support the workshop including facilitating a meeting with Bro. Mario Salvador, San Jose City Mayor, who immediately provided much needed financial assistance.
The workshop was facilitated by US-based multiple Palanca awardee Wilfredo "Oyet" Pascual, Jr. who is also launching "Kilometer 0", a collection of his best personal essays.
Wilfredo Pascual is a close friend of the Royal Patron who with their CLSU-affiliated friends helped mobilize support for that made the successful workshop possible.
