ALL SHRINERS ARE MASONS: Did you know that in order to become a Shriner you must first be a Master Mason in good standing? Bektash Shriners are very active in their Lodges across the state. Last Wednesday was a busy night for Masonry in New Hampshire. There were several Bektash members present at the Blazing Star-Eureka stated meeting, as well as over 20 present at an Entered Apprentice degree at Lafayette-Bible Lodge in Goffstown!

We commend these Nobles for remaining active in Masonry!
