POTENTATE “2015”
RICHARD QUINDLEY
Some Thoughts From the Potentate
First of all, Lady Connie and I would like
to thank everyone that attended my installation on January 17th. For me it was a
truly humbling experience. When I
looked out at all of you there after being
Fezed, I was at a loss for words. A special
thanks goes out to everyone who helped
make the weekend so memorable, and
especially to Ed and Ellie for chairing the
weekend, the past Potentates for their
assistance and guidance and the famous
Bektash Stewards for their hospitality.
Now that the installation is over it's time
to go to work. One of my top priorities
this year is membership. If we do not stop
this downward spiral we are in, by 2025
we will be down to 150 members. And
our shrine as we know it will not exist. In
that light, the Divan and myself are going
to be very active in getting new members
and keeping our current ones active. We
will be dedicating time at each finance
meeting to membership. We would also
welcome any ideas from the nobility. If
you have some please either attend the
Finally I would like to urge you all to attend as many functions as you can. Bring
your friends so they can see some of the
things we do. Go out and join a club or
unit, or become more involved in the ones
you are in. Remember that as a team we
can keep our organization strong, as this
past weekend proved.
When I was raised as Master of the Lodge
the installing officer put a cable tow on the
floor and said, "This cable tow is your
lodge, if you want it to move you have to
pull and guide it, not push it."

RECORDER’S CORNER
Congratula ons to Ill. Richard A. Quindley for being
installed as Potentate and to the rest of the elected
and appointed Divan of Bektash Shriner at the Installa on Ceremonial in Nashua, NH on January 17, 2015. It
was a great weekend filled with fun for all in a endance. Let’s
all strive to make this a banner year for all of our Officers, Nobility and their Ladies
Thank you all for elec ng me as your Recorder for the year
2015. I will try my hardest to perform the du es of this office
to the best of my ability and to the standards set by my predecessors’.
Please join me in thanking Joel Weinstein for the excellent job
he has done as Recorder of Bektash Shriners for the last five
years. His ability to organize and implement procedures, that
we will con nue to use in the days and years ahead, are exemplary. Joel, from all of us, thank you for a job, “Well Done”.

Our number priority as Shriners has to be membership. At this
past weekend Installa on, the Black Camel took away 27 of our
members. Later we installed 5 new Shriners into Bektash. That
is not a good ra o. We are grateful for our new Shriners, but by
days end our membership had been reduced by 22 Nobles. We
all need to work on this problem. The message is the same for
Bektash Nobles. It is membership, membership and membership. One sugges on is to visit your Blue Lodge as o en as you
can and try to help them out with their membership. They
need the help as much as we do. Each one of us knows a good
man that is not a Mason. To cure this problem, the brothers of
your Lodge will have ideas for you as to how to get your non
Masonic friend interested in the order. The bo om line is we
have to find a way to stop the memberships decline. If we
don’t, in a few years, we will be reduced to empty buildings.
Please ask yourself, “what have I done for membership lately?”
Yours in the faith,
Guild “Bushie” Hill

Want to earn money for your Unit, Club or a Bektash
Charity with no cash investment on your part?
Sell Bektash 2015 Cash Calendars
We hope you all purchase or get involved on becoming part of the
2015 Cash Calendars Raffle. A repeat of our successful past events will
be made for 2015. A copy of our ad is on the adjacent page. Take a
look, it’s great!
We will have a total of 2500 to sell as we did in 2014. This is a major
fund raiser for Bektash. It is in the same league as Bingo and the
“Fez”tival of Trees. It is and has been the major fund raiser for several
of our sister Shrine Centers.
Here’s how you can easily become part of this exciting fund raiser! No
upfront investment or upfront cash required. We supply the calendars
on consignment to your Unit, Club or a Noble, your choice. Your Unit,
Club or Bektash Charity can earn a commission of $2.00 for each calendar sold. The $2.00 commission will be paid in July 2016.
As a bonus, when all 2500 calendars are sold the commission will be
increased to $3.00 for each calendar sold by the Unit, Club or Noble.
The $3.00 commission will be paid in 2016 to the Unit, Club or Bektash
Charity of your choice, once we sell all 2500 calendars. 1900 were sold
0n 2013. Help us sell all 2500 for 2015. We can do it!
If the Noble does not belong to a Unit or Club, the Noble, his family
and friends can sell the Calendars with the commission paid to a
Bektash Charity of their choice.
We will have these beautiful full color calendars in July. Based on what
we have experienced for in the last two years we feel that the calendars
will sell out quickly. So, get yours in July and help Bektash sell all
2500.
Contact the Bektash Office at 603-225-5372 so that we can get you
started. Thanks.

2015 will be here before we
know it. Help Us Sell Out!

Did You Ever Want to Run Away
& Join the Circus?
Now you can (sorta) with
Bektash "Clown-For-A-Day"!!!
You've heard about the Bektash Clown Unit - a bunch of slightly crazy Shriners who
have more fun than ... well, a barrel-full of clowns. We make people laugh and especially make kids smile (a very Shriner thing to do, don't you think?). And we're looking for a "few good wannabe clowns" to join our unit.
Admit it, you know you've thought about how it would be so much fun to try!! And
now you can with the Bektash Clowns "Clown For A Day". Try being a clown for just
one day and see what it's all about. Join us at a parade or other event. We'll get you
into a costume, put on your clown face, pair you up with a Bektash Clown for the day,
and make sure you have the best time ever! Maybe you'll want to do it again and join
our unit, but even if you don't you'll have a day to remember! And we'll even take a
photo of you with the unit.
For over 25 years the Bektash Shrine Clowns have entertained generations of families
and children across New Hampshire. From St. Patrick's Day through 4th of July, all
summer long, and into the Holiday season you've found us at town parades and other
events, putting smiles on faces of all ages!
What are you waiting for?

THE100MILLIONDOLLARCLUB
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 International.
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 established 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.
HOWTOJOIN
There are three ways to become a member of the 100 Million
Dollar Club: (1) By contributing $100 or more to Shriners Hospitals 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.
WHATYOURECEIVE
Each donor receives a handsome 100 Million Dollar Club certificate. By contributing $100, you can feel like a million, knowing
that you have helped to ensure that Shriners Hospitals for Children will be able to continue helping children in the years to
come.

They have left this earthly strand,
For the house beyond the sea,
Though the past is gone, they will still live on
To us all—Sweet in our Memory.
