This is a picture of our new lodge home building at 3609 Preston in Pasadena, probably not up to par. However, this is the front view but not complete as yet; there is quite a bit to be done on the front part of the structure. The building is closed in and they are moving inside now. The sheetrock walls are due to be finished by August 7th; the plumbing is made up in behind walls and pretty well stubbed up. We are hoping to be finished by about October 1, 1982; then, there will be some small details to be worked out and we are looking to
have our Grand Opening November 7, 1982 (Sunday), and we're hoping to have you, Rudy and Maxine, also anyone else from all our lodges throughout Texas who can make it on that day. (I just wish I knew how many to prepare barbecue for; this will be my first time to be involved in such a big doing. We're looking for a large turnout.) We are going to have a large building, dance floor and all; the building is 120 feet wide and 175 feet long plus the two sets of rest rooms: one set on the left front side and the other set on the right rear side plus one-half set behind the stage. We should have a nice and beautiful home for Lodge Rozkvet No. 172 in Pasadena. (Article and pictures courtesy Brother Julius Zella, 1st vice president of Lodge No. 172— Editor)
