We had our big family/community Easter egg hunt at S.P.J.S.T. Senior Living in Taylor on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. We had a nice size crowd of kiddos! Residents had a blast watching the kids hunt for Easter eggs. A big thank you to some of the girls from Taylor High Steppers who came out to help.

Dear Members and Friends,
Greetings from the SPJST Home Office!
It is my great pleasure to invite you to join our SPJST family on the 2023 SPJST Holiday Tour of the Czech Republic. Working with professional organizers in Texas and the Czech Republic, we’ve crafted a comprehensive 11-day journey that will connect you to the historical heritage, culture, and customs of the Czech Republic. Our route will deliver you to some of the Czech Republic’s most popular destinations but also includes some of the rural, lesser-known places. And since we will be touring the Czech Republic in early December, we will be there to experience the holiday charm connected with the Christmas season, including Christmas markets in Prague, Karlovy Vary, and Cesky Krumlov! A partial listing of the many places we’ll see and visit can be found in the tour announcement which appears to the right of this article.

Whether it’s your first time to visit the Czech Republic or if you’ve been a dozen times or more, the 2023 SPJST Holiday Tour is brimming with the potential for memorable experiences. We’ll have a chartered bus for the duration of our stay so getting around will be easy. You’ll be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as our experienced driver and guide escort us to our destinations and provide us with interesting background information along the way.

Group travel is great fun in that it allows folks to enjoy the same experiences, connect, and make new friends. I recall my first group tour to the Czech Republic in 2014 which was organized by the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center in La Grange. The daily excursions, meals, and shared experiences brought our group together in so many wonderful ways that life-long friendships were initiated. Now Joan and I look forward to joining you on what promises to be a memorable holiday tour of the Czech Republic!
You’ll find that your cost to join in the SPJST’s inaugural tour of the Czech Republic is exceptionally reasonable. Two of our big objectives in putting together this trip were to present an outstanding tour and to pass along the group pricing discounts to our members and friends. Please know that space is limited and booking information is available on the SPJST.org website. In the meantime, you’ll want to go online and perhaps scope out some of the many places we’ll be exploring. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 254-534-2902, or direct your inquiries to
