Santa and friends spread Christmas cheer at SPJST` open house

by Melanie Zavodny State Youth Director Cool weather arrived just in time for Temple's Annual Christmas Parade and the biennial SPJST Holiday Open House on December 7. More than 100 floats, marching bands and vehicles representing Temple area businesses, schools, churches and civic groups participated in this year's event. SPJST was also wellrepresented by the 1998-1999 SPJST Royalty Court. Participants included King Jonathan Haag, Queen Jennifer Block, Duke Chase Jaroszewski and Duchess Rachel Schwartz, accompanied

by District Seven Director Bob Bayer and wife Polly. Riding in a horse-drawn carriage, they waved and wished a merry Christmas to the thousands of spectators.

All Smiles Pictured, at right, from left are celebrants: Edwin Vasicek of Lodge 47, Seaton; Michael Sailer and Debbie Gaiter; and front: Douglas and Kevin Gallen The Gaiters are all members of Lodge 66, Waco.

Following the parade, approximately 250 members and guests visited the SPJST Home Office and Museum's Holiday Open House. Cookies baked

by SPJST Home Office staff, apple cider and hot chocolate were served.

Santa, Mrs. Claus, and two elves listened to Christmas wishes and distributed goody bags to the young people while Becky Rich-Wulfmeyer, Children's Librarian at the Temple Public Library, read Christmas stories.

Outside the Home Office, Richard Curtis of Goodtime Carriage Rides entertained guests with holiday carriage rides. Guests also toured the museum.

Earlier in the day, members of the Choral Group from Lodge 47, Seaton entertained museum guests with holiday music and vocals. Performers were Mary Holick, Henry and Helen Janacek, Marie Janicek, Ralph Milek, Dorothy Pechal, Agnes Schiller, Emily Stuteville, and Leon and Vallie Zavodny.

NFCA up and running with informative site on World Wide Web Moving into the next millennium has proven to be a lot easier for NFCA (National Fraternal Congress of America) and its member-societies with the implementation of the trade association's website. Visitors can now get a better look at the NFCA, its programs and history by checking out www.nfcanet.org .

The website, which was launched in August, is far from being in its final form and is expected to undergo changes weekly as more sections are added.

NFCA's Anthony Snyder, who oversees the site, said: "NFCA has made the promise to invest the financial resources necessary to build an excellent site jam-packed with information.

Anyone who checks the site out on a Monday will be able to return on a Friday for additional information."

Currently, visitors to the website can find links to all NFCA member-societies' home pages, explanations of the NFCA committee and section structure, information on past National Cause projects, and recent news releases.

The site is being built in stages.

NFCA will be adding new information on current and future programs, while at the same time preparing NFCA historical material for posting in the archives.

"We want fraternalists and even the casual browser who stumbles across our site to find all the information they can on the fraternal system, our member societies and our programs," said Mr. Snyder.

Pass It Along .

(Editor's Note: As fraternalists, we're big on the idea of helping others to help themselves. The following story, which arrived in our mailbox last week, illustrates the profound difference that just a little compassion and attention can generate. I want to share it with you.)

The Teddy Stoddard Story There is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her fifth grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible — because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making big broad X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last.

However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.

Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners ... he is a joy to be around."

His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, wellliked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."

His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him.

He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."

Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.

Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents.

Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.

But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist.

Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to." After the children left, Mrs. Thompson cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading and writing and arithmetic.

Instead, she began to teach children.

Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets."

A year later, she found a note from Teddy under her door telling her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy.

He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life.

Then, four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time, he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a little further.

The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now, his name was a little longer—the letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. The story doesn't end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring.

Teddy said he'd met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what?

She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. And she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.

They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference."

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. YoU were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."

Our gathering today began with our Christmas luncheon. I must say that everyone outdid themselves. The food was excellent. We wish to give a hearty thank you to Donnie Koerner, who prepared the fried turkey and to Joella David, who prepared the baked turkey and dressing. Things were pretty quiet for a while; I think it had something to do with all the good food.

The business meeting was called to order at 1 p.m. by President David.

With the youth leader and the "mom members" bringing cookies and candy and with a very generous donation of cookies from the Super K-Mart of Waco, the children and members made about 80 bags of the goodies and took them to the Golden Years Rest Home in Marlin for the patients there.

Before the adjournment of the meeting, we planned for the first meeting of the year 1999, another visit to the SPJST Museum; yes, we enjoyed the trip before. It has been arrange that we go on the 24th of January at 2 p.m. to meet there - we hope the members all come.

The Holiday supper on the 12th of December at Jo Ann's Kitchen (restaurant) was well attended with all of the members bringing the good food.

There were door prizes and, yes, candy for all. This was our last lodge meeting of the year. Thanks go to Jo Ann and husband, John Faulk for the use of their place.

And we thank our God for a very good year, and we send a very Merry Christmas Greeting to all and hope all have a very blessed and prosperous New Year from Lodge 182, Falls County.

In Memoriam Resolution of Sympathy We, the undersigned Resolution Committee of SPJST Lodge No. 92 in Fort Worth, Texas, wish to express sincere sympathy on behalf of our entire membership to the family of

JOE ZACEK. A retired maintenance worker of 27 years for Johns Manville Company, Brother Zacek, age 86, died November 27, 1998 at a Mansfield nursing center.

The funeral was held at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, November 30 at Mount Olivet Funeral Home with burial in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Visitation was held from 6 to 8 p.m., Sunday, November 29 at the funeral home.

Lodge Letters Section (Continued from page 7.) side dishes of every kind. Of course, the calories from all desserts were removed beforehand by our hostesses Elma Anderson, Ima Lou LaPlant, Linda Lewis, Billye Starr and Beth Ryan. These great hostesses were assisted by Frank Prochaska, who sliced the huge ham. And, I must say, he did a great job.

Following lunch, we had our gift exchange, followed by everyone showing off their gifts. It was a lot of fun. In addition to gifts, Agnes Reznicek was giving us lettuce and parsley from her garden plus a variety of her canned items. I was lucky enough to get a jar of pear medley which I certainly have been enjoying.

Thanks, Agnes.

News of Members Made a mistake in my last article.

It was Billy King who was in the hospital and not Billye Starr. Sorry about that Billy King, but understand Billye Star did enjoy getting get well wishes.

Congratulations go our to President Jo Prochaska, who was elected President of SPJST Lodge 92. We are proud of you and know you will do a good job.

Lillian Smith was honored recently on her 80th birthday. Her youngest brother and wife, Benny and Joan Fowler from Houston and cousins from Arlington joined in on the celebration. The feast was hosted by her daughters, Sharon and Barbara, along with the seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren who were all present.

Joe Milan was also honored — or should I say, roasted, on his 80th birthday. A party was given by his daughter Carolyn and family at Theater Arlington. Following snacks and birthday cake, everyone present had occasion to get up on the stage and "roast" Joe. Heard there were lots of good laughs.

Following Lillian Smith's birthday, hear that she fell and hurt her knee.

Understand that she is limping and sincerely hope it is not too serious.

Get well soon.

Joe Zacek was born April 15, 1912 in Arlington, Texas. He was a member of First United Methodist Church and SPJST Lodge No. 92. He was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn Zacek, in 1988.

Survivors include brothers Charlie Zacek of Denton and Woodrow Zacek and Jimmie G. Zacek both of Fort Worth; sister Josephine Stewart of Mansfield and Mary Short of Fort Worth; and numerous nieces and nephews.

May our departed brother rest in eternal peace.

Resolution Committee, Victoria Murhphy Mona Lee Hattendorf —SPJSTKatherine Garrison finally old her home in Illinois and finished moving all household items. Welcome back.

We missed you!

Members, remember there will be no meeting in January. Hostesses for February will be Billy King, Rose Romeo, Lillian Smith and Camille Bolcer.

By the time this letter is published, Christmas will have come and gone.

Hope each of you had a wonderful holiday. I'll get to enjoy two Christmas days — one in Ennis with Sister Georgie Morales and family and another one with Sister Lil Kosarek and her family. Guess I'll have to go on a diet following two days of eating.

It was nice to hear from Melton and Jeanie Vrla from Odessa and Millie (Vrla) Breden from Bethalto, Illinois. Glad to know that you read the Vestnik. Best wishes to you all.

Dear Members, The District Four Christmas Ornament Contest was held November 22 in conjunction with the Grandparents Day celebration. The 17 entries were all so pretty and creative.

I appreciate each of you for taking the time to create your ornament and bringing it to the competition.

Following is a list of the winners:

Dear Readers, The Snook SPJST Youth Club decorated the hall and practiced for our Christmas program on Saturday, December 5. Then we took our toys to MASH (Make a Smile Happen) at Varsity Ford in College Station. After that, we went to the movies. I saw Waterboy. It was funny.

On Sunday, December 6, we had our monthly meeting which was well attended. We elected new officers, discussed the lock-in and other stuff.

Then we practiced for our program, had the adult meeting, a covered dish supper and our Christmas program.

After the program, Santa came. We had a great time!

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Pay Life.

It Isn't Just for Kids.

Lone

As its name suggests, the purchaser of an SPJST Lone Pay Life certificate makes only one premium payment, resulting in a paid-up certificate.

For years, it has been a favorite plan for parents and grandparents seeking to enroll their children and grandchildren in the SPJST However, did you know that a Lone Pay Life certificate can be issued to individuals up to age 80?

As you would expect, at the older issue ages, it can be expensive; however, it could be just the thing for older members who want to buy additional permanent insurance. For example, a female at age 70 can purchase additional paid-up insurance at the rate of $570 per $1,000 of coverage with a minimum purchase of $5,000 coverage.

The Lone Pay Life certificate may also be of interest to anyone wishing to make a gift of life insurance to a college, church, charitable organization or individual.

For more information on the SPJST Lone Pay Life certificate or other financial products, please contact your local lodge sales representative.
