8 The Bektash News
POTENTATE “2014” KEVIN J. CARTER
please let us know. You do not have to be a Past Master to enjoy
doing ritual work and, as I said last month, if you yourself would
like to participate in these degrees with us, please let us
know.
I represented Bektash at the NH York Rite formal banquet on
Friday, May 9 at The Yard restaurant in Manchester.
I represented Bektash at Grand Lodge on Saturday, May 17. The
visitation for Tunis Shrine of Ottawa took place May 23-25. Lady
Melanie and I travelled to Perth, Ontario for the event. We were
joined by Dick Quindley and Lady Con-nie. It was, as usual, a good
time.
Sphinx Shrine's visitation happened May 30 - June 1 in Windsor
CT. Lady Melanie and I were able to attend since the Smoker, which
was originally sched-uled for this Friday night, was cancelled. It
was unfortunate, but with only a very small number of tickets sold,
cancelling was obviously the right thing to do. We ended up having
a great time at the Sphinx visitation, along with CRAP Dick
Quindley and Lady Connie, and all our friends from NESA.
Coming up for June, the Third Annual Bektash Poker Run will take
place on Sunday, June 1. Last year, we had about 60 riders
participating in this event. We hope they will all again complete
the course picked out for them then enjoy the barbeque at the
finish line at Bektash when it is over. The Chairman for this event
is Chaplain John Flaherty. Cook-ing will be done by the Bektash
Chefs. There is also a rumor that some guy named Shamus will show
up.
The morning of June 7, I will represent Bektash at the NH
Scottish Rite Council of Deliberation in Concord.
Continued on next page
Greetings to all Nobles,
Lady Melanie and I, along with Chief Rabban Dick Quindley and
Lady Con-nie, as well as Past Potentate Bill Hebert and Lady
Sharon, attended the Joint Visitation of Mt. Sinai and Cairo
Shrines in Essex Junction VT on May 2-4. It was very gratifying to
get together with our counterparts and friends from all the other
Shrines in the Northeast Shrine Association. A fine time was had by
all in attendance and Lady Melanie (as usual) posted a picture of
us at the event on Facebook within minutes of the picture being
taken.
On Wednesday, May 7, your Bektash Shriners' Masonic Degree Team
per-formed a Master Mason degree for our masonic brethren at
Morning Star Lodge in Wolfeboro. There were four candi-dates -
three from Morning Star Lodge and one from Winnipisaukee Lodge in
Alton. It was a great masonic event and my thanks go out to all
those who helped make it a success. Please note, if your Worshipful
Master would like us to do the same for you at your Lodge,

At 3:00 PM on June 7, we will hold our Spring Ceremonial at
Bektash. This event is chaired by Past Potentate Bob St. Jacques
and Lady Mary. Please make every effort to attend. There will be at
least seven Candidates and the degree work will be done solo by
yours truly as I did for Illustrious Ed Daneault a few years back.
The work of the day being done, we will have a Western theme dinner
and then dance to the mu-sic selections of Summer Brown. To quote
our friends from Karnak, "Let's have some fun, eh?"
And speaking of Karnak, the weekend of June 13-15, Lady Melanie
and I will be in Pointe Claire, Quebec for the visi-tation of
Karnak Shriners of Montreal. Our Stated Meeting will take place on
June 16 at the Shrine at 7:00 PM. All Nobles are welcome to attend.
Please be there. Remember, it's all "For the Kids," Kevin Carter

12 The Bektash News
RECORDER’S CORNER In this month's Bektash News we have
information on the Northeast Shrine Association Field Days to be
held on August 21-24, 2014. It is going to be another great
Shrine weekend of fun and excitement. Our Hosts this year will
be the Melha Shriners of Springfield, Massachusetts. They have a
lot planned for us which we know you will really enjoy. The hotel
we have booked is the LaQuinta Inns & Suites in Springfield.
They have all the ameni-ties for an enjoyable stay. We all look
forward to a fun filled weekend with many of your fellow Shriners
and their Ladies attending. So, please sign up early before we run
out of rooms. Most likely we will not be able to add rooms once our
allocation of 35 rooms is ex-hausted. For more information please
go to pages 36-39.
Please don’t forget to bring in your winter collection of
Aluminum Tabs to the Bektash Office. We have several barrels that
need filling. Please keep the Tabs coming. It is a great source of
revenue for the Bektash Hospital Patient Transportation Fund.
Thanks for your dedi-cation and cooperation.
Please come to Bingo and see how well it is operating,
especially in our smoke free environment. The only smell is those
delicious dogs and burgers being prepared by our own Bektash Chefs.
We now have delicious French fries along with weekly specials.
Bingo is one of our biggest Fund Raisers. We are so busy these days
that we could use some additional help. Lucky Seven ticket sales
have increased consid-erably. Why not join your fellow Shriners and
their Ladies for loads of fun and excitement? Give Robert St.
Jacques, PP a call at 603-455-6556 or Lloyd Doughty at 603-860-0435
if you are interested in join-ing Bingo. See more information in
the Bingo ad on page 27 in this edition of the Bektash News.
Thanks.
We are looking for volunteers once again to give a hand at this
years "Fez"tival of Trees. To organize and run an event like the
"Fez"tival of Trees, starting early is absolutely critical. The
Committee has had sev-eral meetings starting immediately after last
year's most successful "Fez"tival of Trees.
Being successful happens only by hard work and dedication. With
your support this can be accomplished very easily. This is now
our
-
June 2014 13
biggest Fund Raiser of the year. Please help Bektash and your
"Fez" tival of Trees Committee by signing on early. We thank you
for your past support and hopefully for your future support. Our
next meet-ing will be on June 24th at 7PM at the Bektash Shrine
Center.
We still have several members that have not paid their
membership dues for 2013 and 2014. If you are not sure you have
paid you can check to see if you have 2014 dues card . If you do
not, you probably have not paid. If you have a problem paying there
is no issue we can’t try to accommodate your particular personal
needs. Our goal is to keep you as a member of Bektash. Give it a
try; call me today at the Bektash Office.
Please make sure you have read the following notice that was
an-nounced in the April issue of the Bektash News and I will repeat
it just in case you missed reading it. If you wish to continue to
sub-scribe to the mailed version of the Bektash News you will be
able to do so by paying a subscription fee of $1.00 per month. A
small amount when you compare it to our cost of printing and
postage of $1.50 per month. To eliminate this charge you can simply
opt out of the mailed version and receive it for free
electronically at www.bektashshriners.org. If you want to do so,
please send to the Bektash office your Email address so that we can
add it to our elec-tronic list.
To repeat, if you currently subscribe to the electronic color
version there will be no change. If you wish to continue with the
printed version you are asked to send $6.00 by June 1st. to cover
the cost from July 1st through December 31st. And, on or before
January 1, 2015 you will then owe $12.00 for the whole of 2015
year. Thanks to those that have paid and to those that opted out
previously and those that opt out now for your cooperation and
understanding.
As always, there are many functions and activities held by
Bektash. Come and Join us. You will love it and you will not be
disappointed. Check the calendars and ads for more information in
each month’s Bektash News.
Yours in the faith, Joel Weinstein Recorder

Ver-mont, Bektash (Concord), Cairo (Rutland) and Mt. Sinai
(Montpelier). This year, Bektash is the host Temple.

♫ The first parade of the 2014 season will be in Hooksett on
Sunday, May 25th with a formation at 11am. Please note a correction
in the gathering place. It is NOT at the Library, but at Lambert
Park. ♫ We will once again march in the Memorial Day Parade in
Hen-niker on Monday, May 26th with a formation at the school at
9am. This will be the 64th year we have performed in the Henniker
Parade. ♫ Plaistow will be our destination on June 21st for their
Old Home Days Parade. We will form at the Library at 1pm. Please
not that June 28/29 will be a parade free weekend. All-in-all we
are scheduled to do eleven parades this summer so enjoy the
parade-free weekends when they arrive. ♫ Please check your uniforms
to make sure they didn’t shrink over the winter. If you need to
make a size swap talk to our Leader Ron Perry. ♫ We always need
horses and our Leader suggests that you bring a Mason along with
you to the parades so he can pull a drum. Who knows? You might even
create a new Shriner. ♫ Drum Corps Trivia: On June 25, 1931 a
“Personality Contest” was sponsored by the Drum Corps and Patrol A
at the Arcadia in Manchester . The event netted $500 for the
Shriner’s Hospital in Springfield, Ma., $700 for the Bektash Real
Estate Association and $1,325. each for the Drum Corps and Patrol
A. In 1931 this was a lot of money! See you at the Parades!

Dear Nobles and Ladies:
It's not too soon to start thinking about going to Springfield,
Massachusettes to celebrate the Northeast Shrine Association Field
Days. Our host, the Melha Shriners has a wonderful weekend planned
with something for every-body to enjoy.
Springfield, Agawam, West Springfield and the Pioneer Valley
offer many great places to visit, as well as many outstanding
restaurants. Within a mile from Headquarters Hotel, the Sheraton in
downtown Springfield, one can visit the Basketball Museum and the
Dr. Suess Museum, the Forest Park and Zoo, the Springfield Armory,
Melha Temple and the Shriners Hospital for Children, to name a few.
They are hoping to provide a continuous shuttle that will stop at
numerous places, where you can get on and off for as long as you
like.
A few miles to the north, one can find the five College
campuses; Mt. Holy-oke, Smith Amherst, University of Mass and
Hampshire College. Another very popular attraction is Yankee
Candle, again in the same area. The Big E, located just across the
bridge in West Springfield is home of the Eastern States
Exposition, where the motorized competition and the Ladies Luncheon
will be held. Those that have campers and motor homes may also make
use of the facilities offered at the Big “E” Eastern States
Exposition Grounds. Agawam, home of Six Flags of New England, will
be the site of our Saturday parade, and the banquet which will be
held in the Picnic Grove at Six Flags of New England. Six Flags
have offered us a reduced park admission for Fri-day and Saturday.
An evening of fun and entertainment has been planned following the
banquet. All in all, there is much to see and do. Melha hopes that
you will take advan-tage of what is being offered.
For the registration forms, more information either go to the
Bektash web site: www.BektashShriners.org or call the office at
603-225-5372. The hotel information and the registration form are

THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR CLUB The 22 Shriners Hospitals for
Children have provided lifesaving and life-changing medical care to
more than 800,000 children, regardless of their ability to pay. The
money to provide these needed services at 22 hospitals comes from
many sources: community donations; fundraising events; investment
income; and support from the Shriners Inter-national. As health
care costs increase, Shriners Hospitals needs your help, more than
ever, to continue to provide more specialized care, offer medical
education and conduct more research. Too many people believe that
if they cannot donate or leave a large sum or money, their gift
will not count. Every contribution helps. In order to encourage
donors to contribute to Shriners Hospitals for Children, the
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR CLUB was es-tablished in 1972. The club is
named for its goal of adding 100 million dollars to the endowment
fund through gifts or bequests of $100 or more.
HOW TO JOIN There are three ways to become a member of the 100
Million Dollar Club: (1) By contributing $100 or more to Shriners
Hospi-tals for Children; (2) By having your will include a bequest
of $100 or more to Shriners Hospitals for Children; or (3) By
adding a provision to an existing will leaving $100 or more to
Shriners Hospitals for Children. Shriners. Please fill out the form
on the right and send your contribution to Bektash Shriner's
Recorder Joel Weinstein.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE Each donor receives a handsome 100 Million
Dollar Club certifi-cate. By contributing $100, you can feel like a
million, knowing that you have helped to ensure that Shriners
Hospitals for Chil-dren will be able to continue helping children
in the years to come.
