Greetings;
Lady Amanda and I would like to thank each and every one of you who braved the conditions and supported the Valentines Ball. In true form it proved to be a great event and this year the pie auction brought in the most it has in years, which all goes towards the First Ladies project. It was great hosting visiting potentates and representatives from Aleppo, Kora, Melha, Anah and Tunis. It has been a busy year with the last of installations behind us and the start of visitation season.
Important events and deadlines that are fast approaching.
· NSA Mid-Winter hosted at Prince Edward Island. Please contact our High Priest and Prophet Pete Raven to attend.
· Imperial Session 2025 in Atlanta, GA. Please contact the office before March 5th to have your name added to our room block.
· Saturday March 15 is the St. Patrick’s event that is being hosted at the Shrine Center. Reservation are a must so the Chefs have a good head count. Pound auction items are always fun to see and win.
· First weekend in April is the Easter EggStravganza, those who plan to volunteer should contact Lady Stacey Raven. Interested in donating a basket, use the link provided on our website.
Our next stated meeting will be on Monday March 24, bring your ladies, doors open at 5, dinner at 6 and our meeting will begin promptly at 7pm. Any member attending that is part of a club or unit please wear your shirt or uniform to represent them as roll call will be taken and recorded. During dinner we will hear from Kerri Tichy; Senior Director of Philanthropy, Shriners Children’s New England.
Reminder to subscribe to our calendar online, we have many events this year and look forward to seeing you and your family be a part of all Bektash Shriners has to offer.
Lastly; we are fortunate enough to have three hospitals in our area that we support. Our Springfield and Montreal locations have an Associate position open. Any one interested should contact me directly.
Fraternally,
Evan McIntosh, Potentate
Bektash Shriners of New Hampshire
