Hello Nobles and Ladies!
First off, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who reached out, called, or sent a card while I was in the hospital. Your kindness truly lifted my spirits. While recovery has been slower than I’d hoped, I’m making steady progress and can’t wait to be back in full swing!
Now, let’s talk about what you don’t want to miss…
Spring is in full bloom and summer is just around the corner—so let’s kick things off right!
Our first Fun and Fellowship night is happening Friday, May 2nd at 6 PM, we will be celebrating cinco de Mayo. This is the perfect time to gather your family, invite your friends, and introduce someone new to the magic of the Shrine—maybe even someone who’s been thinking about becoming a Mason. Trust me, you’ll want to be part of the energy.
Then, mark your calendars for Saturday, June 21st—our Ceremonial! It’s time to get those petitions in. If you know someone who’s been sitting on the fence, this is the moment. We’ll be performing both the first and second sections, and we need all hands on deck. Reach out to Director Michael Lothrop and be part of making this day unforgettable.
And here’s some exciting news:
The new Lucky 7 machines are up and running, already generating a fresh stream of revenue for Bektash! This is just one more way we’re growing and thriving.
Speaking of thriving, we can’t overlook the incredible work this temple has done—raising $227,234.80 between 2019 and 2024 which went directly to our hospitals. That’s not just fundraising, that’s changing lives. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to get more involved, this is it.
Don’t forget—support your Blue Lodge. The heartbeat of any great fraternity is the energy and commitment of its members. Be present. Be active. Be part of something bigger.
Let’s keep the momentum going—we’ve already accomplished so much, and the best is yet to come.
Fraternally,
Evan McIntosh, Potentate
