Please Help Us Find These Members. Dear Members, The SPJST Home Office requests your assistance in an effort to update our mailing lists. Listed on pages 5 to 33 of this week’s Vestnik are the Lodge Number, Name, and Last Known City and State of members who have had mail returned to us as undeliverable. Attempts to contact these members have been unsuccessful. Please review the list for the names of family and friends, and let them know that the SPJST Home Office would greatly appreciate their updated contact information. Members can always call us toll-free at (800) 727-7578. However, we have Change of Address forms that can be downloaded from our website www.spjst.org or filled out online by clicking the Change of Address link. We prefer to receive the forms either by mail or through the link on the website as we are less likely to miss-record the new address. The forms also ask for an email address and a cell phone number. Please provide these as we have found that email addresses and cell phone numbers are less likely to change if someone moves. In the event you identify the name of an individual who has passed away, please call Margaret Campbell at (800) 7277578 to notify the SPJST Home Office of their passing. Thank you for your assistance in helping to locate these members. Fraternally, Roy W. Vajdak, Financial Secretary
