SPJST MEMBER SERVICES DIRECTORY

'.$'23 '-1+/) '.$'23

The 2010 SPJST Member Services Directory provides a listing of SPJST sales agents and members who are in positions to provide various products and services for other SPJST members. The directory is published for the sole use of our members and is based on the idea of “members helping members.”

This special edition of the Vestnik features information about SPJST lodges and youth clubs and a directory of sales agents on pages 3 to 12. A map of SPJST districts is on page 12. The SPJST Store which includes more than 100 SPJST items available for purchase appears in a special pull-out section in the center of the directory. And, be sure to check out pages 13 to 19 which highlight member businesses. Special discount coupons appear on page 20.

The challenge in putting out an issue like this is the potential for errors. Various information has been provided by other departments at the SPJST Home Office.

We’ve tried to make sure the information is correct; however, change is constant. If you find any incorrect information, we want to make it right. Please email the correct information to melaniez@vvm.com or call the Vestnik Department.

My thanks to Communication Assistant Katherine for her dedicated assistance with this issue.

Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your membership in SPJST. Thank you for your participation and assistance in compiling this year’s directory. And, we sincerely appreciate your continued efforts to make a positive difference in your community and in the growth of SPJST. Fraternally yours,

Melanie Zavodny

SPJST: An Idea in the Making

It’s a “package deal” built upon the idea of addressing human needs.

o non-members—SPJST is a concept that is sometimes easily misunderstood. To some, it’s merely an insurance company; to others, it’s a social club; and, finally, to others, it’s a historical and heritage society. So who’s right?

T

At its best, SPJST embodies the characteristics of all these definitions, demonstrating that the strength lies in diversity. SPJST is a society that members can join for any number of reasons. It’s a “package deal” built upon the idea of addressing human needs—financial, social and cultural. The ability to meet those needs and uphold strong human values is the mortar that holds the Society together.

What’s most important to the member depends on his or her station in life. What a seven-year-old wants from his membership is a lot different than what an 80-yearold would like to see. The sale and purchase of life insurance is necessarily a cornerstone of membership in SPJST. SPJST offers a wide range of life insurance

programs, annuity plans and mortgage options designed to meet the varying needs of its members.

The fraternal component of SPJST further enhances membership by emphasizing the social and civic responsibilities that members share with each other and the communities in which they live. There are few limiting factors placed on local lodges and how they choose to meet their fraternal obligations. Really, what it comes down to is initiative and imagination.

The guidelines which describe how the business of SPJST is to be conducted is found in the SPJST By-Laws.

Reform and innovation are healthy processes, and they are what keep SPJST growing.

Simply stated, SPJST is an idea that is still in the making. With a renewed commitment to its members and the communities that SPJST serves, the best is yet to come.

For more information about SPJST, please contact the Home Office at (800) 727-7578, and you can be put in touch with someone in your area. Also, visit us at www.spjst.org.

The following list provides a brief summary of the insurance options that are available:

Welcome to the SPJST Youth Program!

SPJST is a fraternal organization founded on the time-honored idea of doing good for each other and for the communities that we seek to serve. Our youth mission is to provide a well-rounded educational, patriotic and social program. We also like to have fun! Through active participation in local SPJST Youth Clubs and statewide events, youngsters between the ages of five and 18 develop a greater awareness of the common bonds that we all share.

SPJST youth clubs also work with community-based organizations to tailor programs to fit local needs.

SPJST Summer Camp fosters a spirit of cooperation, forms an appreciation of the natural environment and helps campers to achieve their full potential. Summer camp is provided on the basis of active participation.

SPJST sponsors Youth Achievement Day (YAD) competitions on the district and state levels as an educational activity for SPJST youth club members. Contestants field entries in a range of areas including arts and crafts, music, dance, drama, and public speaking. Individuals participating in YAD must be a member by October 31 of the previous year in addition to meeting other contest guidelines.

Knowledge is power. SPJST strongly encourages its outstanding young members to continue their educational development. Since its inception, the SPJST Scholarship Program has awarded more than $1 million to deserving, collegebound youth. Selections are based on academics and leadership. Active youth may also qualify for educational grants.

If you have any questions about participation in the SPJST Youth Program or would like to request membership information, please contact SPJST Home Office in Temple at (800) 727-7578. Or, feel free to email johnh@spjst.com.

A present for the future.

Annuities. Both qualified (IRA) and non-qualified are offered to SPJST members. Interest rates are posted every week in SPJSTʼs weekly newspaper, Vestnik. For current rates, contact the SPJST Home Office, refer to the Vestnik, or visit www.spjst.org.

In many cases, the insurance application process can be accomplished at your home in one meeting. At other times, it may take an additional visit since the sales agent may need to spend some time assessing the information you provide in the initial meeting before he or she can recommend the appropriate life insurance solution. For more information on the life insurance options available to you, please contact your local lodge sales agent. If you’re not sure who that is, call the SPJST Insurance Department at (800) 727-7578, and you will be put in touch with a sales agent in your area. See pages 4 through 12 for a listing of agents.

fices were moved to Temple following the 1952 Convention in Houston.

The move from Fayetteville to Temple was made during the months of August and September of 1953. A decision had previously been reached to completely renovate and remodel the third floor of the Professional Building on Second Street and Central Avenue to house the officers of the Supreme Lodge.

As the years passed, it became increasingly evident that adequate and suitable quarters would have to be sought elsewhere, and the solutions seemed to lie in the construction of a new building. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on October 25, 1969, with formal dedication of the new SPJST Home Office building on the corner of Main Street and French Avenue taking place on Sunday, January 31, 1971.

From the outset, SPJST lodge meetings made members feel at home and provided them with the economic security of fraternal life insurance.

But, there was much more to SPJST than that . . . Through participation in lodge meetings and SPJST conventions, members learned and applied the democratic processes of their newly adopted homeland. They grew to appreciate the value of free speech and to express their opinions. Moreover, they learned how to conduct meetings and the importance of voting. Having learned and adopted these American values, SPJST members became better citizens.

SPJST served its purpose well.

Over the course of the next two generations, American society and lifestyles changed dramatically. Our state and our nation was becoming progressively more industrialized. At the same time, the country was becoming more urban and less rural.

Many people—including the sons and daughters of the early members— moved away from the farms and into the towns and cities. In many cases, they took SPJST with them. Thus, it was during this time that many of our

urban lodges were established. It was also during this time, in 1953, that SPJST headquarters moved its state headquarters to Temple.

Once again, SPJST had an important mission to fulfill—to provide its members with identity and support at a time when life in America was becoming increasingly impersonal and unstable.

The Society served its purpose well. The legacy of these days—the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Homes, youth program, and various cultural enrichment programs including the SPJST Library, Archives and Museum—are with us today.

Achieving success in the future remains an exciting prospect. Just as SPJST’s forefathers learned to adjust, SPJST is responding to meet the needs of its members in these changing times.

From a financial perspective, SPJST offers its members a full line of

Looking Ahead

life insurance programs, annuities, and related member benefits, including home, business, and farm and ranch loans.

One of the most significant fraternal developments in SPJST over the past decade has been the increase in volunteerism and human service projects. In lodges all over the state, members are committing their time and energy in support of worthwhile causes, helping people in need by working in hospitals, senior citizen homes, and raising money for many causes, including scholarships, food banks, volunteer fire departments, drug abuse programs, and various charities. They are taking the best that SPJST has to offer—a tradition of helping people to care for their families—and are extending it to their communities. In light of all these things, there is indeed great promise for the future of fraternalism and SPJST.

What is SPJST?

SPJST was founded as a fraternal benefit society in 1897 by Czech pioneers in Texas to ensure the financial security of its members and their families by providing insurance products and options that offered members peace of mind while operating under the insurance laws of Texas. SPJST stands for Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texas, or Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas.

TODAY, SPJST is still providing “peace of mind” with a vast variety of life insurance products for members plus a whole lot more. The Society is committed to improving the quality of life for its members through a diversified network of lodges across the entire state of Texas. SPJST lodges sponsor a wide range of family-oriented activities and community service projects that positively impact the communities in which they are located. Czech heritage is proudly promoted, but SPJST membership is open to everyone. You become a member simply by purchasing life insurance.

FAMILY-ORIENTED Activities may include presentations by musical or dance groups, dances, picnics, games, contests, summer camps, and youth activities.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Lodge members participate in service projects by contributing numerous volunteer hours in areas such as highway clean-ups, hospitals, nursing homes, and more. Plus, monetary donations may be made to sponsor nonprofit organizations that benefit youth within the community.

For members wishing to fulfill the American dream of home ownership, SPJST offers mortgage loans and mortgage protection to qualified members. SPJST also awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors and college undergraduates.
