Insurance Sales Reflect Innovation

An Ongoing Effort ...

Through the judicious purchase of life insurance, an individual can plan for both final need expenses and the continuation of income in the event of death. In a nutshell, that's why life insurance is so important.

The growth of the SPJST depends largely on the ability of managment and our volunteer sales force to effectively get this message to our members and prospective members.

In his capacity as Supreme Lodge Vice President, Brother Leonard Mikeska is responsible for coordinating the marketing and sale of SPJST insurance and annuities. He accepted the responsibility nearly a year-and-a-half ago, following the death of Brother Bernie Gebala.

"It's been both a challenge and a rewarding opportunity," says Brother Mikeska, who previously served as Supreme Lodge Secretary-Treasurer.

The SPJST recorded $32,478,667 in insurance issued through the nine months ended September 21, 1995, compared to $18,606,673 issued for the same period in 1994. This represents a 43 percent increase in new insurance issued. Over the same period, applications also increased 22 percents from 899 applications in 1994 to 1,154 applications in 1995.

"Positioning the SPJST for success is an ongoing process," says Vice President Mikeska. "We are responding to the changing marketplace and member needs by strengthening and expanding the scope and quality of our insurance services."

"A generation ago, the emphasis was sometimes placed on merely 'selling memberships' in the SPJST in the form of a $1,000 or $2,000 'burial' certificate.

"Today, our sales program emphasizes `needs selling.' That includes offering new insurance products that can assist beneficiaries by providing them with an additional source of income in the event of loss," Vice President Mikeska explains.

One such product which was introduced last November is the "Modterm" insurance plan. Essentially, Modterm is a

ten-year renewable term certificate that carries with it a unique "original age enhancement option." It is meant to appeal to people between the ages of 20 and 70 who want a lot of insurance for a little bit of money.

"It's a very popular program," says Vice President Mikeska. "After seeing a presentation on the program, members and prospective members understand how Modterm can enable their family to continue its present lifestyle should one of the wage-earners die prematurely."

According to Vice President Mikeska, another new insurance program-aimed at senior members-is in the development stages and is expected to be introduced later this year.

In an effort to improve service and better respond to the needs of its members, the SPJST Insurance Department is currently going through the process of assigning "orphan members" to sales representatives. Orphan members, he explains, are those members without a sales representative assigned to service the account. "It happens for various reasons," he explains, "The original sales representative may have passed away, moved, or become inactive ..."

Looking at the SPJST with an eye to the future, Vice President Mikeska radiates optimism. "I really believe that we're turning things around in the SPJST .. .

For years, our Society, like so many fraternals, has been experiencing net increases in insurance volume, while, at the same time, experiencing net declines in actual members ...

"Through the first nine months of 1995, we recorded a net increase in certificates over 1994 year-end results. And that's very good news," Vice President Mikeska reports.

"The desire to best serve our members and prospective members is the path that leads to innovation and change. Sound financial products plus the added benefit of fraternalism has helped ensure our success in years past. As we go forward, it is still our best motivation for excellence."

"The SPJST recorded a 43 percent increase in new insurance issued over the same period in 1994."

Around the Districts

From the Legal Advisor's Office By-Laws — You Are the Difference Dear Members, Our 27th Convention will start June 9, 1996, and I would like to take this opportunity to visit with you on some of the procedure highlights of our ByLaws.

The members of this Society must be active workers in order for this Society to continue to grow and prosper as a fraternal benefit society. Federal law states we must operate under a lodge system.

State law states we must operate under a representative form of government and that control ultimately must be vested in the membership. This control is exercised by the membership through their elected delegates' review, change and adoption of the Bylaws at the convention.

Our By-laws contain the following:

serve on the Finance Committee, another member to serve on the Insurance Committee, and another person to serve on the Publication Committee for the next four years.

Every member of the SPJST, whether a delegate or not, has the right to make a by-law recommendation or change. The member should put the recommendation/change in writing, sign it and deliver (mail) it to the Secretary of the ByLaw Committee: Mr. Johnny Krizan Route Two West, Texas 76691 The deadline for submitting by-law recommendations/ changes is 60 days prior to the convention.

Please send your recommendations at an early date.

Mr. Krizan will then forward all recommendations/ changes to the Vestnik for publication.

The By-Law Committee reviews each and every recommendation/change, as well as its own recommendations, and then presents those it deems most beneficial to the Society to the Convention for adoption or refusal.

The By-Law Committee will publish its recommendations in the Vestnik 30 days prior to the convention. If a member's bylaw recommendation/change is not included in the By-Law Committee's recommendations to the Convention, a delegate can present the by-law recommendation/ change directly to the Convention for its adoption or refusal.

The by-laws are the roots of SPJST's foundation, and every person who is an elected delegate has a say in changing the by-laws. Our Society is for the benefit of the members as a whole.

Fraternally, Sidney Kacir Legal Advisor —SPJST---

"The deadline for submitting by-law reccomendations is 60 days prior to the convention."

1. Define the primarily characteristics of our society, in such a way that our By-laws serve as the fundamental instrument which establishes the society; 2. Prescribe how our society functions; and 3. Include all rules that our society considers so important that they (a) cannot be changed without previous notice to the members and the vote of a specified large majority (a two-thirds vote), and (h) cannot be suspended (with the exception of clauses that provide for their own suspension under specified conditions).

Article 1 (e) of the SPJST By-laws states: "The word `by-laws' shall mean the laws adopted by the delegates at the convention, to control, administer and manage the affairs of the entire Society."

The Convention has full and sole power to act for our Society and does so by majority vote (except it requires a two-thirds vote to change a by-law).

At each convention, each district nominates one member to serve on the By-law Committee, another member to

Readers Write The Missing 20-to-40 Year-Old Crowd

By W.J. "Bill" Malina In his September 13, 1995 editorial, Brian Vanicek wrote, "President Leshikar explains, referring to a recent interview with Brother Michael Morris, -- 'Michael called attention to the fact that we're largely missing the 20-40 year-old crowd in terms of active participation in our local lodges.'"

Why is this so? Where are they?

That, my brothers and sisters, is the $64,000.00 question. The $64,000.00 answer just may be that they have more important things to do.

You see, it all boils down to values— what's in it for me? Everyone sets values and priorities on the things they do or want to do. If they have time to do them, they do. Otherwise, they do not. "I don't have time" is the most common answer given by younger people (say 20to-40 year-olds) when they are asked why they do not participate in some activity or another. This may be a valid reason as far as they are concerned, however, it is most likely that they have not set a very high value or priority on participating in that particular activity. The fact is that people, regardless of age, find time to do the things they want to, but they will not necessarily want to do them

if they have not placed a high value or set a high priority on them.

Without question, younger people place different values and set different priorities on things than do older people.

Obviously, earning a living is the 'number one' priority for most people, young and old alike, and the value they place upon their jobs usually coincides with the needs of the individual or their family unit. Beyond this 'number one' priority, everything else is a matter of want, and the value expressed in terms of time, effort or dollars is usually commensurate with the wants of the individual or their family unit. It must be recognized that many wants become so strong that they develop into apparent needs.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not the job of fraternities, such as the SPJST, to create needs. I will not argue the fact that people need insurance to satisfy the wants to an individual to provide financial security for his or her loved ones. It is, however, the job of the fraternity to provide an opportunity for the individual member to be able to fulfill that want.

Aside from offering insurance, the fraternity's aim should be to promote good and wholesome family values.

Lodge Letters Section Lodge 17, New Tabor Reports on October Meeting Dear Members, Vice President Mica Sandner called the meeting to order at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 1.

Officers absent were President Gaas and Assistant Youth Leader Holly Suehs.

The Pledge was led by Marshall Petty.

New Tabor will host the District One Fall Fun Day on October 15.

Lodge 1, Fayetteville to Host Czech Youth Symphony Orchestra Fayette County will host the Czech Youth Symphony Orchestra at the SPJST Lodge 1 in Fayetteville at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 20, sponsored by the CHS chapter. Lodge President Louis Polansky says thus Czech Heritage Week in Texas will get a musical start.

President Polansky also informs that arrangements have been made for the Czech group to spend a few days on a real Texas ranch in Burton and meet students at Fayetteville High School and a guided tour of the Fayetteville Heritage Museum. A Texas barbecue is also being arranged at Polansky Lake for the children following the October 20 concert.

Even though there now seems to be a closer relationship between generations, there is still a generation gap. In today's society, youth and younger people have the same or similar interests as do older people. They want to do the same things, but they want to do them their own way. Younger people want to innovate, to do things in a contemporary fashion. The most distressing words a younger person can hear are, "We've always done it that way, and we're gonna do it that way now." Tradition is one thing, but inefficiency and outmoded methods are another, especially in the eyes of younger people. Youth and younger people just will not put up with or participate in outmoded programs and activities.

Very young people, unless they live with their grandparents, are at a disadvantage because they do not normally get the opportunity to share their grandparents' values and ideas. I guess grandchildren consider grandparents wise because grandparents are older than parents. In many cases, children, especially teenagers, look upon their parents as being "dumb." My oldest daughter once told me, "Dad, the older I get, the smarter you become." Thanks to the leaders of our youth groups, the generation gap is or can be minimized. The leaders take the wisdom of grandparents, couple it with the values of parents, and in concentrated form, make it relevant to and share it with our youth.

All too often we hear it said that our future leaders will come from today's

Other appearances of the Czech Youth Symphony will be at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Houston at 8:15 and 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 15; the Pasadena celebration for the opening of Czech Heritage Week in Texas on October 22 at 2 p.m. and at Sokol Houston at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 27 (1314 West Patton, Houston); and T.H. Rogers Auditorium (5840 San Felipe, Houston) at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 29.

Submitted by, Dorothy Bohac, President Travis-Williamson Counties Czech Heritage Society of Texas —SPJSTyouth. While this is true to some degree, our aim should not be to make the youth programs a factory for future leaders, rather the programs should be designed to expose the youth to traditional values and give them an opportunity to create new ones.

We must remember and anticipate that the youth of today will become the younger people of tomorrow and will be the people missing from active lodge participation. Likewise, the younger people of today will become the older generation of tomorrow and will be the ones who participate in the lodge and run it. We must also recognize that if youth and younger people do not see anything of value in our organization, they will not return and take part in our activities when they become older.

Us old folks have a job cut out for ourselves. We must make sure that our values remain high and are reflected in the activities of our fraternity. We must make those values so important in our own lives that they will become the wants, if not needs, of today's youth and younger people. Our challenge, and the challenge of the younger people already involved in our activities, is to make our values so important that the youth and younger people will not want to wait until they get older to start participating in lodge functions and activities, including assuming leadership roles.

Lodge

On Sunday, September 17, 1995, Lodge 81, Needville met for their monthly meeting. A total of 41 people were present.

Ivory Shiek from Lodge 142 was our visitor. She was the guest of Louis and Pauline Havelka. We were very happy to have you at our meeting. Come again, Ivory.

Before we ate the delicious baked and fried chicken prepared by Darwin's Restaurant, everyone sat around and visited and drank coffee. Thanks to President Macha for picking up the chicken. When the clock on the wall showed 12 noon, Sister Mary Werner signaled that dinner was ready to be served. President Macha led us in grace for the meal blessing.

Mary, our kitchen chairman, sends her thanks to all of the ladies for all of the delicious vegetables, salads, and desserts that were brought.

At 1 p.m., the meeting was called to order by the President. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mary Werner. All officers were present except Vice President Vincent Newman. He was absent due to his job commitment.

Wednesday, October 11, 1995—VESTNIK/7 dered. Although no one knew him personally, our hearts were deeply saddened to hear of his tragedy. May God bless him and give strength to his family.

Still on the sick list are Jerry Blinka and Leroy Bosak. You are in our prayers.

President Macha read us information about the Czech Day at the State Fair in Dallas. It was to be held on October 8, 1995.

Sister Benita Walzel reported that there are no changes with the rules and regulations.

Our representative for the Fraternalist of the Year is Vincent Newman, Jr. Vincent is married to the former Jeanette Koehne. They are the parents of three daughters, Cheryl, Amanda, and Lynnette. Vincent is a very busy person.

He helps with many repairs around the SPJST hall. Good luck to you, Vincent, and congratulations for representing Lodge 81.

Jeanette Newman reported that seniors from all schools who have been members of the SPJST for at least one year need to apply for scholarships. Get in contact with the Home Office in Temple. The deadline is December 31, 1995. From Lodge 81, we have three seniors that we know of. They are Clint Jablonski, Cheryl Newman, and Jason Vallet. If there are others, please take advantage of this opportunity. These scholarships help you and your family tremendously.

Amanda and Cheryl Newman spoke to our group about their recent trip to Europe. They told us about all of the different people they met and their style of living. Amanda got to meet her pen pal for the first time after being "mail" friends all these years. The climate is similar to ours here in Texas—one day it is hot and the next day you nearly freeze to death. The only and main difference is the humidity. They have an album filled with many pictures. The churches there are just beautiful. According to the girls, the trip was very enjoyable, but they are happy to be back in America. Like they say, no place like home! Thanks, Amanda and Cheryl, for sharing your experience with us.

Congratulations are in order to a fine couple who belong to our lodge. They are Jerry and Frances Kubala of Rosenberg. They were married 60 years on September 19. May the Lord bless the both of you with many more years of marriage filled with good health, happiness, and a lot of love.

The four lucky winners for the $5 donated by Lodge 81 were Darlene Blinka, Thomas Tydlacka, Jeanette Newman, and Mary Matcek.

An appreciative note to the following who donated prizes: Jeanette Barnes, Frances Brauer, Ida Gasek, Viola Kutej, Vlasta Nowotny, Mary and Donnie Matcek, Jerry Kubalas, Ben Tydlackas, Lloyd Zwahrs, Walter Andersons, Alvin Blinkas, Edwin Susans, Gilbert Walzels, George Abschneiders, Vic Werners, and Adolph Machas.

I suppose everyone enjoyed the first norther of the season. The weather has been beautiful. People in this area received variable amounts of rain when the front came through. Some are still gathering their cotton crops. The gins have a lot of cotton to gin. It was good to see the farmers have, a great year.

Our next meeting is Sunday, October 15, 1995, at the lodge hall. Sister Benita Walzel has volunteered to bake her delicious, mouth-watering roast. Don't forget to bring a vegetable or salad and dessert. Circle October 15 on your calendar and we will see you in Needville at our meeting.

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to President Macha from Lodge 81. His birthday was October 3.

Lodge 172, Pasadena to Host Gulf Coast Czech Festival October 21 and 22 Music and polka dancing is a major park of the Czech tradition and will be among the highlights at the Ninth Annual Gulf Coast Czech Festival to be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22 at SPJST Lodge 172 Hall in Pasadena, 3609 Preston Avenue.

The featured attraction of the weekend ethnic festival will be the appearance of the 25-member Youth String Symphony Orchestra from Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic.

Formed six years ago, the group's age ranges from 9 to 18. Students of the National Schools of Music in Hradec Kralove, the orchestra will be making its first trip to the United States. They began international touring with a trip to Switzerland in 1994 where an exchange program was established with a school in Luzern. In 1995, the orchestra was officially recognized as the best in the country as they were awarded first place in the National Competition of Student Orchestras of the Czech Republic.

Their rich repertoire, which has been released in their first CD this summer, includes such classics as the works of Stamitz, Benda, Mozart, Dvorak, Beethoven as well as many Czech folk songs, dances and popular pieces.

They will play a concert on Sunday at the festival beginning at 4 p.m.

Other musical highlights will include the fast-paced music of the Central Texas Sounds who will be on the band stand at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

Formed in 1965, the Central Texas Sounds have four of the original members of the group still playing They are Larry Sodek, Ludwig Krause, Dennie Marek, and Bennie Trilicek while adding Glen Ortz and Spencer Schneider. Since the group will be playing for the polka contest to begin at 9 p.m., they have all their polka arrangements at the head of their chart.

Following the Czech Folk Dance Exhibition by the Po.L.K. of A. (Polka Lovers Klub of America) and a parade of authentic costumes at 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, The Moonriders will be in the dance spotlight at 2:30 p.m.

Considered one of the youngest

Lodge

groups playing traditional polka/waltz music in the country, the Moonriders has over 50 years of musical experience among its band members. Leader James Stryk, who plays sax, bass guitar and sings, and Wolfgang Kayser, who is the keyboard whiz and accordion player, have been playing together for 23 years—since junior high school. Other talented members of this group are Matt Williamson, trumpet and percussion; Richard Stade, guitar and vocals; and Joel Stryk, drums and percussion.

Add to the musical mix, the Galveston County Czech Heritage Accordion Band, which will be on the bandstand Sunday at noon.

A recipe for a good Czech gathering includes beautiful red and white authentic kroj (costumes—and if you have them, please wear them), plenty of kolaches, good roast pork and sausage lunches as well as cabbage soup to be prepared by Thomas Jerabek from Roznov, Czech Republic.

Without leaving the states, this trip to the Czech Republic will only be $6 per day or $10 for the two days with children under 10 admitted free.

Festival hours are Saturday from 5 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. A polka mass is set for 10 a.m. Sunday.
