Potentate’s Message December 2025

Dec 2, 2025 | Potentate

Happy Holidays Nobles and Ladies;

Congratulations to Brett Hunter on our 25th Annual Fez’tival of Trees. A big thank you to him, his committee and all the volunteers who helped this year. It takes MANY hands and months of planning to make our biggest fundraiser successful. Thank you!

This month’s Stated Meeting will include the election of our 2026 officers; an important responsibility that should not be taken lightly. If you are considering to run or to nominate someone, please take a moment to review the duties and expectations of the Divan. Any nominee should uphold the best interests of New Hampshire Freemasonry, be willing and able to travel, and serve as an exemplary representative of Bektash.

Keep in mind that the elected and appointed Divan are the individuals tasked with running Bektash but it is the entirety of all the Nobles and Ladies working together that make Bektash successful.

Tinsel & Tuxedos – The Bektash Holiday Gala is on Saturday December 13th, tickets can be purchased via our website. If you have any event specific questions please contact Illustrious Michael Tebbetts; PP or Lady Kat.

On behalf of Lady Amanda and myself I would like to personally thank those who supported us this year, traveled with us and made this year successful and memorable. We have received numerous compliments noting that Bektash is experiencing a renewed vitality within New Hampshire and throughout the Northeast.

We wish you and your family the very best this Holiday season and look forward to seeing you all in January to support our incoming Potentate.

Fraternally,

Evan McIntosh; Potentate
