CALLING ALL RIZALISTS

In an attempt to link and foster fellowship among adherents of Rizal from various parts of the world, the newly formed International Federation of Knights of Rizal is sponsoring a first-ever international conference of its kind in Toronto on September 11-13, 2008. This was announced by founding Chair Sir Jun Zerrudo, right after the organizational meeting held on Monday, March 17, 2008 in Scarborough, Canada.

The purpose of the meeting, entitled ‘Rizal in the 21st Century TechnoWorld’, is to ‘identify and establish a concrete link between Rizalian principles and some practical applications of those principles’. Featured speakers will present their views on 1) the psyche of the man Rizal; 2) meaning and relevance of Rizalism as a cause; 3) practical applications of Rizalian principles; 4) impact of a personal research on Rizal and 5) who Rizal is to a non-Filipino.

Invited to honor the conference with their presence and contribution are Prof. Jean Hall of Western New Mexico University, Sir Lucien Spittael of the Knights of Rizal Belgium, Sir Don Brennock of Ireland, Sir Bobby Reyes of the International Society of Rizal Advocates in Los Angeles, California and Sir Voltaire de Leon, founder of Rizal Society of Ontario.

The three-day affair which will coincide and held simultaneously with the First Convention of the International Federation of Knights of Rizal (IFKOR), is open to the general public. Seats, however, are limited. To interested parties please register as soon as you can. To register please see table below. Deadline is May 31, 2008.
