POTENTATE “2017” MARK A. SIMARD
Dear Nobles, Ladies, And Friends,
Lady Linda and I would like to Thank the Cheshire Shrine Club and their ladies for their generous hospitality at the Potentate and Ladies night held at Papagallos Restaurant in Keene. The event was well attended and everyone had a wonderful time. Lady Linda and I were accompanied by Divan Members Chief Rabban Lloyd Doughty, Assistant Rabban John Puckhaber, and Oriental Guide John Freeman with Lady Amy. The food was excellent! Thank You George St. Laurent and all the members of the Cheshire Shrine Club. I Highly rec-ommend that every Noble take in the events that our clubs and Units host. We all need to really get out and sup-port each other. Attending these events is a great way to meet other Nobles and make new friends. Thank You to Chief Rabban Lloyd Doughty, Lady Donna, and crew (Brett Tiede, Kenny & Dixie Thor-oughgood, John & Amy Freeman,
Ginny Frawley, Dan Defosses and family, I’m sure I missed someone) for all their hard work putting together the Murder Mystery dinner theater. There were over 125 people in attendance. Our Chefs provided a great meal and the Majestic Theater group put on a great show. If you missed it this year I really encourage you to attend next year’s event. It was a lot of fun every-one had a great time. Your next opportunity to enjoy good fellowship and make new friends is at the Halloween Party on the 28th, host-ed by our very own Oriental Guide John Freeman and Lady Amy. Our very own King of the Grill (Bob Ash-ford) is providing the meal. There is going to be a prize for the best cos-tume. I look forward to seeing every-one. The Tri-Visitation is on November 3rd & 4th at the Red Jacket in North Con-way. Bektash is the hosting temple this year. With support from Anah and Kora. For those of you who are not familiar with Visitations. These events are for Nobles from the Northeast to get together and share ideas and fel-lowship. You get to meet Shriners from all over the Northeast and discuss what works at their Temples as far as fund raisers and membership. And meet new friends. Ladies and Gentlemen the “Fez”Tival of Trees is fast approaching. This event has become our biggest and most im-portant fund raiser. Bektash can use all the help we can get. Many hands make light work, so if you can donate any
November 2017 9
time at all we would Love to have you!! Please contact Chairman John Puckhaber or one of the other volun-teer coordinators to sign up. The “Fez”Tival is one of the most re-warding events I have ever volun-teered for. If you have never experi-enced it I highly encourage you to. Myself, Lloyd Doughty, John Free-man, and Bushie Hill recently at-tended a Unity meeting with The Most Worshipful Grand Master John E. Lobdell, Deputy Grand Master Kenneth A. Clay Jr., as well as the heads of every Masonic body in the state of NH. It was brought to our attention at this meeting the cost the Rainbow Girls and DeMolay boys and their families incur while they are going through their respective lines. I was astounded to learn that it can cost up to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) That is a lot of money. We also learned at this meeting there is a need for Suits and Gowns for these young men and ladies. If you would like to donate a Suit or a Gown please drop them off at the Temple and we will make sure they get to the right place. George Bald-win could also use some Dad advi-sors. I know in this day and age free time is at a premium, however if you can spare the time, George would love the help. You can contact George at [email protected]. These young folks are the future of our Fraternity lets help them the best we can.
Finally, I encourage all Nobles to request a copy of next year’s budget before the December Stated meeting. The Divan has been asked for sever-al years to have the budget available to the Nobility prior to the Decem-ber Stated meeting as to provide the Nobility with ample time to review the budget. I’m pleased to let you know that Chief Rabban Lloyd Doughty and Assistant Rabban John Puckhaber have put a lot of time and effort into accomplishing this task. For the 1st time that I can recall the budget is available for all to review for a month before the Stated Meet-ing. I applaud the efforts of these Gentleman in making this happen!!! Well, Fall is upon us and the leaves are changing. Fall in New Hamp-shire is beautiful. This is my favor-ite time of the year. Warm days and cool nights the crackle of a wood fire. And for those of you who en-joy Winter activities I having a feel-ing you won’t have too wait long. Fraternally, Mark A. Simard

Fez-tival of Trees Volunteers Needed
The Fez-tival of Trees has been held at Bektash since 2001 and has grown each year. It is held during Thanksgiving week for eight days and is our largest fundraiser. Planning and execu-tion for the Fez-tival is a year long undertaking. We have 100 decorated Christmas trees plus mini trees and wreaths that are won by raffles. The Fez-tival has many facets to which you can contribute depending on your interests. Your input and help are essential for our success. It is impossible for one person to organize an event this size so the Fez-tival is divided into subcommittees. Some of our sub-committees are led by Shrine Ladies. We also have non-members volunteer, most of who have some connection to Ma-sonry. Last year we had one hundred thirty two Nobles, Ladies and friends of Bektash volunteer. Some of our subcommittees include: Café Marketing Silent Auction Decorating Trees & Wreaths Set Up & Tear Down Fez-tival Program Design & Printing Santa - Volunteers & Scheduling Security Ticket Sales Volunteers - Recruiting & Scheduling Awards

Ambassador Program
Nobles; I am putting the Ambassador Program on HOLD until I get further infor-mation from Imperial on the new direction they are taking with member-ship.
The six Nobles who have signed on will still be involved with the pro-gram and hopefully we can start moving forward soon.
I still need Nobles to volunteer for their Blue Lodges.

CHESHIRE SHRINE CLUB November 2017
Wow! As I sit down to write this article, we look out the window and realize that I will be spending most of the day doing yard cleanup. The leaves and pine cones are falling at an alarming rate, so the autumn season beacons us. At the Cheshire Shrine Club things are slow right now. The Potentate and Ladies Night went well and we trust that the attendees enjoyed themselves. We had one small issue, a number of the members who stated that they would attend failed to come to the meal and we had to pay for the number who said they would come. This is causing us to reconsider how we will handle the Annual Meeting as we cannot af-ford to lose money again. The date will remain the same, January 28, 2018, we are considering all options such as the Elks Club or Italian Club. We need people to step up and let us know how you feel about this. THIS IS YOUR CLUB ! This is the meeting where we draw the winners for the ZEF CLUB so purchase your tickets now Call George St.Laurent at 603-865-5349 or Rich Colby at 603-903-5293. As always we will be sponsoring a tree at the Fez-tival of Trees held at the Bektash Shrine Center November 18 - 26 Everyone should attend this beautiful affair, and it is also a major fundraiser for Bektash. A reminder, we hold our monthly meetings of the Shrine Club at Jeru-salem Lodge #104 in Keene on the second tuesday of each month at 11:00 PLEASE ATTEND! Yours in the faith, Dave Hackler 603-357-0640

BEKTASH DRUM & BUGLE CORPS We held our annual Pot Luck Dinner on October 9th thank you to all who brought food to share. Special thanks to Dixie and Kenny for providing the leftovers from the Mystery Dinner. I think everyone had a great time, I know I did.
We voted to keep the same slate of officers and they all agreed. A collection was taken and the funds matched to donate to the Lottery Tree for a total of $380.00. A certificate of appreciation was presented by Ill. Rick Perry to Freeman Fuel for pull-ing the trailer to all the parades including Ottawa, this year.
Accepting the certificate are John Freeman(left) and Brandon Freeman (right) from Ill. Rick Perry (center)
Don’t forget we need new members and our rehearsals start up again in the spring. We have no Drum Corps activities in November or December, however, volunteers are needed for The “Fez”tival of Trees.
Happy Holidays to all.

To the people that help us work bingo.
The Bingo Committee thanks you all for the hard work you have been doing. Some nights, we have ran short of help and people have been doing double and triple jobs. We just want to let you know that it is noticed and appreciated. We have had a few peo-ple out because of sickness and or injury we hope all are doing better.
This being said we can always use help. If you have some free time on a Thursday night come on down and join us. You don't have to be here every week or stay until Bingo closes. The Bin-go doors hall open at 4 pm and we are usually done by 9 to 9:15 ! There are various tasks we need help with: we have people that help on the floor calling back bingo cards, some call the Bingo games, others sell pull tabs or bingo games. We also have peo-ple working in the "back room" on the computer counting the money and setting up the games to be paid out. We can use help in any of these places. Don't worry if you do not think you can do it because we can train you!
