  Hello po, I would like to take this opportunity to announce that a group of Filipino and Australian Freemasons of Western Australia is organizing a relief goods drive/project. We will be sending the first 20-footer shipping container tentatively last week of November or first week of December. If anyone in Western Australia wants to donate in kind, please PM me here or call me 0406599584. Thank you! Rocky
