Wednesday, February 22,1984—YĚSTNÍK/9
cussion was held as to what to do
about the continuation of mailing
birthday greeting cards. It was
agreed that we discontinue mailing
cards. It was also agreed that we in-
crease the amount spent for gifts for
our hospitalized-members.
Mary Sebestik talked on the
subject of lunches for our Kroužek
meetings. After discussing several
different ideas, it was finally agreed
that we continue to háve our
monthly lunches with six hostesses
and one pay girl. Different ideas will
be brought into the planning of
these meals so that it would not be
the same each month. This will be
easier for the hostesses in that they
can deviate from the way we háve
been doing.
Lydia Dirkx presented plaques to
Sisters Rose Kopeček and Frances
Konakovsky for their many years of
Service as presidents of our
Kroužek.
Zdenka Skotak brought photos of
yester-years with many of the
Kroužek members in these photos.
The Nominating Committee for
this year are: Ann Zvolanek, Alice
Roberts and Liddie Pavelka. Adelle
Vlk is alternate.
Zdenka Skotak asked whether we
would like to purchase song books
for our sing-a-long sessions. We will
decide next month.
Members also agreed to
contribute to the Sokol the same as
we háve before.
Dooř Prize this month was
brought by Bessie Reames and won
by Dorothy Reznik. (Those pecans
sure came in handy.) Bob Zvolanek
made a donation for his lunch
guests.
Bessie Reames reported the
Dallas-Ennis Fraternal Council will
hold their meeting February 22nd at
the Sokol Halí, hosted by Lodge 130,
Dallas.
Now, before I conclude, how about
hearing more about your members?
Sharon Kohn, daughter of Jimmy
and Vickie Kohn, graduated from
SMU December 12,1983 receiving a
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering. Sharon is employed by
Mostex Corporation in Carrollton,
Texas as an Associate Facilities
Engineer.
Evelyn Cechan is the
grandmother of twin boys.
I am very proud also to announce
the arrival of a very beautiful
grandson, Brian David.
With all these boys, it should help
out in what ušed to be referred to as
the male shortage.
Let me not forget that Libbie
Slovák has her 15th great-
grandbaby.
Congratulations to all these proud
grannies!
Lillian Graeser has a new grand-
son, Jason. He weighed 10 lbs., 11 oz.
(A future Dallas Cowboy maybe?)
Until next month’s meeting March
Ist,
I remain,
Dorothy Rose Reznik

STATEWIDE YOUTH
LEADERS’ RETREAT
(AMENDED)
Our Statewide Youth Leaders’
Retreat for 1984 is set for Saturday,
March 24th, and Sunday, March
25th. We will probably start around
9 a.m. Saturday morning and the
retreat will be over after the noon
meal Sunday.
The site of this year’s retreat is
Camp Lone Star near La Grange.
The facilities are very nice and we
think that you will be pleased with
the surroundings, which should be
very conducive to the learning
process. All DYC’s, Assistant
DYC’s, Youth Leaders and Assis-
tants, plus anyone else involved in
our youth program are welcome to
attend; however, this occasion is not
to be considered a weekend vaea-
tion, but as a period of learning and
relating. What you will learn should
then be applied in your activities
and work with the youth. Spouses
involved with and interested in our
youth are welcome. The accom-
modations are limited so other than
the seven DYC’s, the selections will
háve to be based on a need-to-know
and eventual-use basis, as well as a
first-come-first-served basis, with a
deadline of March 5,1984.
Camp Lone Star is located
southeast of La Grange. You will
need to follow the sign that is
alongside the highway just after you
cross the iron bridge across the
Colorado River going south out of La
Grange on Hwy 77 and before you
ascend the bluff.
There will be no meal available
Friday, so if you intend to arrive
Friday evening, you need to either
eat beforehand or bring a light
snack. Kitchen facilities will not be
open Friday night. The first meal
served will be breakfast Saturday
morning. If you don’t arrive in time
for breakfast at either 7:30 or 8 a.m.,
your first meal will be the noon
lunch Saturday.
The Supreme Lodge will pay
round trip mileage for (l).ear from a
lodge, plus camp costs, which
include all meals and lodging.
However, no mileage reimbur-
sement will be paid for those who do
not arrive in time for the start of
Saturday’s activities or to those who
leave before noon Suday. We pian to
start the day’s activities at 9 a.m.
SHARP Saturday. Bring notě pads
and pencils. A full day and a halfs
activities are being planned,
including some evening functions.
PLEASE-no alcoholic
beverages on camp premises. This is
a learning and relating experience.
Please fill out the accompanying
form if yoube interested and return
to me at PO Box 100, Temple, Texas
76503, no later than 5 March 1984.
If at all possibíe, each person at-
tending the Retreat should send in a
separate form. This will avoid con-
fusion and allow us to háve a more ac-
curate count. The above form will ap-
pear in several issues of the Vestnik,
but if you do not want to wait you may
proceed to háve the form photo-
copied. If you háve already submitted
the information in some other form
(you were to háve waited until this
form was published), then please re-
submit the information on the above
form.
Fraternalíy,
Nick A. Morris
President

Longhorn Recreation Lab
Dear Youth Leaders and/or
Assistants:
Some of you may háve heard in
years past about Longhorn Recrea-
tion Lab located near Brownwood,
Texas. This is the Laboratory for
Leadership Training and Program
Development. Sessions include
Recreation in the Arts, Conflict
Management, Outdoor Interpreta-
tion, Clowning, Song Leadership,
Basketry, Games, Party Planning,
and Square and Folk Dancing, plus a
number of others.
As has been the čase in the past
few years, the Laboratory is offered
in two formats: A weekend session
and a week-long session. The week-
end session is from March 9th
through the llth, and the week-long
session is from March llth through
the 16th.
In years past this has proven to be
beneficial to our leaders, however,
you should not attend with the idea
of “getting away from it all” and
spending a week there just for a
good time. Of course, you should
enjoy yourself and meet a lot of new
faces, but the PRIMARY reason you
are going is to learn some new tech-
niques that you can PUT INTO USE
in your local lodge and with your
young people. Unless you can do
this, the time spent would háve been
worthless as far as your youth club
and the young members under you
are concerned. You can come back
and say, “I had a great time and met
a lot of nice people. It was much
fun!” I’m sure that will háve been
the čase, but how díd it help you in
your youth work?
The Supreme Lodge has approved
attendance at this year’s Longhorn
Recreation Lab (LRL). The tuition
involves an advance registration
and the balance payable on arrival at
the Lab. Both of these fees will be
paid out of this office. If you pian to
attend the weekend workshop and
you pian to eat the evening meal at 6
p.m. that Friday, the extra meal is
$4.25.
Please let me know in writing of
your intention to attend either of
these workshops, and if you intend
to attend the weekend workshop, let
me know whether you pian to be
there by 6 p.m. March 9th so that we
can add the cost of the meal to the
balance of your tuition. REGISTRA-
TION AND ALL ADVANCE REG-
ISTRATION FEES AND BAL-
ANCE OF TUITION FEES WILL
BE PAID AND HANDED OUT OF
THIS OFFICE. Let me know your
intentions NO LATER THAN Feb-
ruary 28th. In addition to your name,
include your home and business
phones, if you háve one, plus your
complete address. Don’t wait until
the last minuté.
In addition, we will pay your
round-trip mileage from your home
to the Lab. Let me know soon if you
are interested and I will mail you a
brochure with complete information.
We are limiting this to two youth
leaders from each district, and this
will be determined on a first-come-
first-served basis.
I will then ask some of you who
háve attended LRL to either démon-
