Email to Grand Secretary, Philippine DeMolay Bro Francis Lovero:
Dear Bro Francis Lovero,
Greetings from Sydney. I've set up a website/blogazine for our members at TR Yangco Chapter. I've emailed WBro Gary Orino of the fact and advised him to extend the information to our active DeMolays.
Link is: http://www.tryangco.blogspot.com/
I need a favor to ask, if you have a copy of our Chapter history please email it to me. I would appreciate any further information you have regarding our Chapter, as a way of preserving the legacy of TR Yangco and Philippine DeMolay.
Fraternally yours,
Bro M Baylon Jr, Chev
