SPJST To Sponsor Ftincl Raising Projeets Fot The
Menovation Of The Battleship Texas And Czech Chair
March - September 1989
Dear Ořřicers and Members:
The Supreme Lodge approved the
proposal to help raise funds to restore
and renovate the Battleship “Texas”
and also at the same time to raise
donaíions for the Czech Chair. Both
projeets are tax - deductibie
contributions.
“To establish a major new Czech
Sťudies Program in our State, THE
CZECH EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION OF TEXAS is
conducting a drive to fund an
Endowed Educational Chair at a
major Texas University. The
establishment of the chair will insure
that a Czech íeacher wili always be
available and íhat Czech language will
aíways be taught.”*
“Síňce the eariy years of this
century, the Czech youth of this statě
háve had the opportunity to study the
language and culture of their íerebearers
at statě universities. Czech ciasses háve
served to bring generations together
and foster a love and understanding of
our immigrant ancestors and their
values.”*
Battleship “Texas” is now a
memoriál ship owned by Texas and
was called the “Flagship.” Battleship
“Texas” played a very important part
in World War II and was ušed in many
battles.
* Reference — Support the Czech
Chair Brodíme.
Battleship “Texas” has 150,000
visitors each ve ar, but now is in critical
need of major repair and mast be
towed into the shipyards for repair.
The complete cost of restoring the
battleship is estimated to cost 13.4
million and all Texans are asked for
their help in raising these funds.
Battleship “Texas” helped savé our
country and now we need to savé her,
won’t you help?
We are hoping to reach our goals for
these projeets by September 1, 1989.
We realize that while some lodges may
háve funds available, others may not,
but they may want to solicit
contributions from members or
sponsor an activity to raise funds. In
any čase, we certainly hope that the
effort you make in support of these
projeets will be richly rewarded in the
benefits of fraternal “invoivement.”
Yotsr lodge’s goal amonní is ten ceníš
per ment ber. The amount may be more
or less. Each lodge that meets their
goal(s) will háve their lodge name in
the Věstník and what project(s) they
supported. Individua! coníribuíors will
also be recognized in the Věstník.
The thermometer of progress will be
in the Vestnik. Lodge donaíions and
individua! donatioms are encouraged.
Donation checks should be made to
SPJST -and mailed to the SPJST
Supreme Lodge, P.O. Box 100,
Temple, Texas 76503; Attenílon:
Office oř tiie President. After all
contributions are collected one check
will be distributed from the Supreme
Lodge to each project. Therefore, at
this time we are soliciting you and
your lodge’s help with these important
projeets.
We are asking each lodge to tíonaie
a minimum oř 10 cents per member t©
at least one of the worthwhile projeets.
11 it is possible, píease support both
projeets.

lodge’s donation up to the amount of
$2,500 for each project. You can be
