Knights of Columbus Schedule Clubhouse Inauguration March 11

The Knights of Columbus schedule the inauguration of their new clubhouse, Roxas City Council No. 3691. The clubhouse is located at cor. Ellieta and Columbus Sts. (formerly Bangbang St.) in this city will be inaugurated on March 11 with Mayor Angel Alan B. Celino, a member of Council No. 369l, as guest of honor.

Most Rev. Jose F. Advincula, D.D., archbishop of Capiz, will officiate the ribbon cutting rites and blessing of the new clubhouse.

According to Bienvenido P. Cortes, Grand Knight of Council 3691, this new two-storey clubhouse replaces the original clubhouse constructed during the term of the late Cesar A. Talabucon, who served as Grand Knight in 1991-l992. That clubhouse was destroyed by Typhoon Frank on June 18-2l, 2008 including valuable documents and other KC paraphernalia.

According to Cortes, a Memoradum of Agreement (MOA) was executed between the Roxas City Council No. 3691 and the Sanggunian Barangay of Barangay 2 headed by Punong Barangay Luzminda de la Cruz, on February 25, 2011 where the former authorized the latter to occupy the ground floor of the clubhouse as their barangay council office.

District Deputy Julius B. Abela and the officers of Council 3691 wish to thank Mayor Celino and Punong Brgy. De la Cruz for facilitating the construction of the said clubhouse. Thanks is also extended to our brother knights Ramon Ponsaran, Benny Loterena, Rosano Anisco, Ardielie Ambrocio and other knights for their assistance in the construction of the clubhouse. /MP
