Cditoťs Not£
Register your JHP
project today!
hank you to all lodges and
youth clubs who participated in Join
Hands Day. We received pictures
and information from a few lodges
that appear in this week’s Věstník.
Lodges and youth clubs are asked to
send in your project information and
photos for publishing.
Also, very important! The
SPJST Home Office offers a $100
incentive to lodges who complete
Join Hands Day projects. In order
to receive the incentive, lodges must
do two things:
1) submit a Join Hands Day form
to the Home Office and
2) register your project at
www.joinhandsday.org
The Fratemal Department has re-
ceived several calls regarding the
$100 incentive checks. State Fra-
ternal Activities Coordinator
Chester Jenke is asking all
lodges/youth clubs to please regis-
ter their projects online at
www.joinhandsday.org in order to
receive the $100 incentive money
from the SPJST Home Office.
To register your project, after
signing on to the website, click on
“Locate a Project” and then click on
“Project Registration.”
If you need help registering your
project, please give Chester a call
(210)413-3053.
Lodge 29, Taylor—
“The Best of The Best”
Last week, we reported that
Lodge 29, Taylor received the “Best
Dance Halí” award in Taylor Daily
Press ’ “The Best of the Best” Read-
ers Choice Awards. Since then,
Lodge 29 was notified that its an-
nual barbecue cookoff held in Sep-
tember has earned “Best Taylor
Event.” Congratulations, Lodge 29!
Way to go!
Corrections
SPJST Scholarship recipient Ra-
mona H. Pavlas’ lodge was incor-
rectly identified in her letter of
thanks that appeared in last week’s
Věstník. Ramona is from Lodge 29,
Taylor.
A photo of the Fort Worth Friend-
ship Club was incorrectly identified
in the April 28 Věstník . . . but I un-
derstand that it created some amuse-
ment among the ladies in the Fort
Worth club and the Dallas Kroužek.
Carole Faraizl of the Dallas
Kroužek said, “Be sure to telí the
Fort Worth Friendship Club that the
Dallas Kroužek wishes they had that
many members that appeared in that
really great picture in the Věstník
under our banner!”
The photo appears on page 16 of
this week’s Věstník. Look for pho-
tos from Carole and the Dallas
Kroužek in next week’s Věstník.
