INC 94th anniversary

I noticed many visitors reached my blog by searching the “94th anniversary” of the Iglesia ni Cristo. I mentioned it in passing in listing events during the last week of July.

In fairness to those visitors, here’s the City Council Resolution which I sponsored on July 15 for their information.

It was approved unanimously with almost all members of the City Council co-sponsoring the measure.
