NEWS • ITEMS FROM LODGE 88,
r hoitston
Febriiary 16th. the Hi-Topners
orchestra plwed at our Saturdav
niabt; dance and had a huge fol-
lowine of out-of-town guests. The
Chandeíier Ballroom wa.s hum~
miny with laushter and greetings
from all sides. The music hod ev-
eryone in good spirits. the haopy
mood of all present was verv pleas-
ant and it was interesting to meet
so many guests who follow their
favorite orchestras; th^ distance
to tra vel does not matter to them.
Again the baliroom was filled to ca-
pacity and tunes of a polka dance
made the floor space quite crowd-
ed, because with such lively tunes
the couples respond to the tempo,
and a little more* room is neces-
sary, but with a waltz tempo the
floor space seems to be more ade-
quate, even when the floor is pack-
ed with couples swaying to the
soft and dreamy music.
VĚSTNÍK
At the dooř to greet the guests,
were the smiling faces of Josepil-
ině Pflughaupt, the devoted spouse
of our Entertainment Chairman
Leander Pflughaupt, Lydia Hend-
rick, sister of our editor, and Wan~
da Kennedy, daughter of Ruth
Duncan, our lodge sergeant-at-
arms, and in charge of the ticket
office was Weldon Hendrick.
With all the lively activity, it is
not surprising that the Board of
Trustees, for over a year now has
been working on the possibility of
arranging the structure of our
lodge faicilities to be more con-
venient for our membership and
guests. With the consent of our
membership, a go-ahead sign was
given to the! Building Committee
to provide more conveniences for
the activities of all groups exist-
ing within our lodge. The Building
Committee in the process of com-
pleting the aetual plans before
submitting them, for a finál de-
cision, This is a project that will
need the cooperation of each of us,
no matter in what capacity, but
your extended hand will be need-
ed. A nine-member Building Com-
mittee from the Board of Trustees
is as follows: A, L. Hilsher, chair-
man of the board, Tillie Helm-
camp, secretary of the board, E.
Zalmanek, Ed Kadleeek, Tim Kos-
tom, Louis Hanuš, Hatrley Cox, W.
Wehring and Karl Lindemann. This
committee has íts hands full for
several months to come.
In the Office the secretaries, El-
len Gill and Wanda Kennedy, as-
sistant, are busy mailipg out Blue
Room (lounge) membership cards
to the 18-year-old members since
the law was changed permitting
them to háve the privileg© oř visit-
ing the Blue Room and ordering
their favorite drinks.
Youth Leader Mary Franees
Wahlberg is in charge of the teen
club; couid fool me, áhe* looks like
a teenager herself! Marion Kad-
leeek, her assistant, is in charge of
the intermediate group. You know
it realiy is praiseworthy that Mar-
ion accepted the opportunity to
work with this group of young
people and naturally, Louise Knai-
pick, our past youth leader — we
wouldn’t let her retire — loves to
assist with the junior club. Good
for you, Louise! The youth pluh
has a chorál group and the young-
sters are taught how to sing, not
only in Ehglish, but also in Czech,
Wednesday, February 27, 1974
and they are directed by Helen
Hegwood, our top SPJST sales rep-
resentative. Wanda Kennedy, as
busy as she is, teaches the Beseda
dance. The youth leaders and the
youth are looking ahead with an-
ticipation to being housed in their
own quarters when the expansion
program is completed. I was in-
formed that 13 mothers of the
youth volunteered to prepare a
spaghetti supper for Friday, March
15th for the benefit of the youth
club building. The tickets are on
sále now.
I met the mother of Raymond
Zapletal, omginator of our 20-
mernber Lodge 88 Concert Or-
chestra. Mrs. Lydia; Zapletal is a
resident of Ennis, Texas, and came
down to visit with the family. Ray-
mond, I am glad you had your
mother come ten the dance; hope
she enjoyed the evening and will
come back soon. Better idea, why
don’t you move to Houston, Lydia?
You would make a nice addition
to our membership and you couid
enjoy and participate in lots of
activities; seems to me you would
fit right in the groove. At the same
tahle I met Mr. Wilbur Heinsohn,
the orchestra leader of the Bay-
town Dutchmen. Mr. Heinsohn is
also a member of the Concert Or-
chestra of Lodge 88 and they will
give us entertainment on Sunday,
