After a productive stint in the Throne, the Royal Matron and Patron stepped down to pave the way for the ascension of the Court's next batch of duly elected and appointed officers.
After the Uncrowning Ceremony of outgoing Royal Matron Baby Liza Ciencia, Royal Matron-elect Ma. Cecilia Landingin and Royal Patron-elect Arnel Landingin were duly installed together with the elected and appointed officers for the incoming Amaranthine Year in a ceremony for such presided by SK Danilo Angeles (PGRM).
HL Elenita David (PGRM) presided over the newly installed Royal Matron's Crowning Ceremony who afterwards formally assumed her duties in presiding over the Court during the ensuing Amaranthine Year.
And thus will Model Court be for AY 2017-2018.
"Thank you, good bye, and hello!" --- HL BABY LIZA & SK SHUBERT CIENCIA.
As the last acts of his incumbency, the Riyal Matron led the Model Court contingent to the installation ceremonies of Pantabangan-Bonari Court No. 46, Munoz Royal Court No. 17 and Nueva Ecija Court No. 31.
As was the case last year, the Court's attendance is not just an expression of solidarity with its fellow subordinate Courts but also for its members to observe actual floorworks and thereby improve their proficiency on Amaranthine rituals.
A day before her trip back to New York, HL Perla G. Reyes of Legend Court No. 166 and the incumbent Deputy Supreme Royal Matron to Hawaii treated members of the court to a day out.
Thank you Ate Perla and bon voyage!
You will forever be sweet in our memories!
When Bro. Val Santos stepped down as the Venerable Master of the Munoz Bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites, the Royal Matron of Model Court and the immediate Past Master of Model Lodge was there to celebrate a productive year-long partnership.
Together, that partnership was able to launch joint activities on Community Medical Outreach and Nutrient Supplementation, the annual "Operation Tuli" and "Adopt-a-School" projects, a school-based and yearlong "Free Lunch" project, a scholarship project for girls, and charity drive for an orphanage.
At the same time, the Royal Matron and her entourage also witnessed the installation of three Sir Knights as the Three Lights of the Munoz Bodies: SK Jesus Tito Tuquero of San Jose City Court No. 55 as Venerable Master, and the Court's own SK Aquilino Valino Jr. as Senior Warden and SK Shubert Ciencia, its incumbent Royal Patron, as Junior Warden.
The Court's last full regular meeting for Amaranthine Year 2016-2018 turned out to be a blast with the presence of HL Perla G. Reyes of Legend Court 166 in New York and the Deputy Supreme Royal Matron to Hawaii, who with her piano skills acted as the pro temp Musician during the meeting where she also handed a donation of $150 to the Royal Matron.
In the same meeting, the Royal Matron also accepted a Plaque of Appreciation from SK Jojit Floro as a symbol of his gratitude to the Court's support during his incumbency as the Master of Model Lodge No. 33.
The Court's birthday celebrants for the months of March and April were also feted which is the Royal Matron's last act on such before she steps down on April 1.
It was a happy and productive Amaranthine Year and it is fitting to celebrate it with a boodle feast that was also the Royal Matron and Patron's thanksgiving to the members of the Court who supported them throughout their incumbency.
Salud!
