A Fraternal Hybrid
Congratulations to the members of
Lodge 79 Corpus Christi and Sokol
Corpus Christi íor paying off the notě
on íheir building located at 5502
Kostorhyz Road in Corpus Christi.
Since it was constructed in 1978, the
20,000-fooí facilitv has served the

The event sym-
bolizes what diť-
řerent groups with

between SPJST
Lodge 79 and
Sokol Corpus
"When your
goals are
big enough
and people
work together,
you can fulfill
your dreams."

Christi goes back
to at least 1930 when the local Sokol
gymnastics unit was organized.
In 1976, the members of Lodge 79
and Sokol Corpus Christi joined forces
on a building project that would benefit
both organizations. Forma! ground-
breaking ceremonies were held on May
3, 1977. The grand opening celebra-
tion took plače on August 4, 5, and 6,
1978 and included a fish fry, sausage
supper, barbecue dinner, three dances,
six bands, singers, dancers, the Dallas
Czech Concert Orchestra and gymnas-
tic program with Sokols from Ennis,
Dallas, Fort Worth and Corpus Christi.
Twenty years and hundreds of
events later, the building is all bought
and paid for — thanks to the members
who devoted their time and energv to
seeing the project through.
“We’re verv proud of our building
and what it represents,” says Lodge 79,
Corpus Christi President Jerry
Sijansky. “When your goals are big
enough and people work together, you
can fulfill your dreams.”
Over the years, the voluntary efforts
of SPJST and Sokol members háve
resulted in considerable savings in
building and maintenance costs.
“Members put in the floors and
members did the electrical work.
Members did the dry wall and painting
and members put in the drop ceiling,”
says Brother Sijansky. And it didiťt
stop there, he explains. “The mainte-
nance of the building and its cleaning
are all doně on a voluntary basis.”
Having achieved the goal of paying
for the building, whaťs next for the
members of Lodge 79, Corpus Christi
and Sokol Corpus Christi? More of
the same, according to Brother
Sijansky, “We pian to carry on with the
goals with which we started — build-
ing membership and doing for our
membership and the community.”
Next Day...
Then, On Sun-
day, September
13th, Lodge 84, Dallas hosts their big
annual Czech Fest celebration. The
event gets started at 11:30 a.m. with a
pork roast dinner. As in past years,
there will be booths, games, prizes and a
free dance with music by The Vaněk
Czech Band from 3 to 6 p.m.
Message to Friends
Thanks to Sister Rhonda Greger of
Lodge 24, Cyclone who sent in the fol-
lowing item, with the notě: “Send this
to everyone you consider a friend. ”
Bearing that in mind, here it is:
There was a little boy with a bad tem-
per. His father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his
temper, to hammer a nail in the back
fence. The first day the boy had driven
37 nails into the fence. Then it gradual-
ly dwindled down. He discovered it was
easier to hold his temper than to drive
those nails into the fence. Finally the
day came when the boy didn't lose his
temper at all. He told his father about it
and the father suggested that the boy
now pull out one nail for each day that
he was able to hold his temper. The
days passed and the young boy was
finally able to telí his father that all the
nails were gone. The father took his son
by the hand and led himvto the fence.
He said, “You háve doně well, my son,
but look at the. holes in the fence, The
fence will never be the same. When you
sav things in anger, they leave a scar just
like this one. You can put a knife in a
man and draw it out. It won't matter
how many times you say I’m sorry, the
wound is still there. A verbal wound is
as bad as a physical one. Friends are a
very rare jewel, indeed. They make you
smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of
praise, and they always want to open
their hearts to us. Show your friends
how much you care.”
