Lodge No. 88,
Houston News
On October 1, 1989 the Lodge 88
Chorál Group chartered a bus to go to
Belton, Texas to the Czech Fraternal
Fest. There were at least 40 members
of our Society on the bus, and they had
a good íime. I do hope it was
appreciated because thaťs quite a trip
in one day.
District V Director Louis Hanuš and
wife, Oleta, Tim and Rosalee Kostom
attended the 89th Annual Texas
Fraternal Congress Convention in
DeSoto, Texas on October 20, 1989.
This is a combination of all fraternal
organizations in Texas. It was held at
the Holiday Inn. The First evening on
October 20, was a cocktail party and s
banquet, with the Keynote Speakei
John Campbell, who is a retired
principál from N. Mesquite High
School. The next day, October 21, was
the Youth Spectacular, which is most
wonderful. I went to many of these
while Ernie was living and Pil
remember these programs as long as I
live - very impressive. On Sunday,
October 22 the Ecumenical and
Memoriál Services for all the delegates
were held, with President Jim Webb in
charge.
On October 29, 1989 was Lodge 88
Czech Day, and it turned out to be
most successful. The Czech dinner was
delicious and a íarge crowd from near
and far attended. Of course, later in
the evening, we had a 4 or 5 - inch rain,
which we certainly needed. (We then
did a Rain Dance.)
Lodge 88 Czech Concert Orchestra
played during the noon hour and Tim
Kostonťs Chorál Group joined the
orchestra later. It was well accepted by
all. The program started at 2 p.m. with
the presentation of colors by our
youth, Crystal Wallace, Darlene and
Marlene Migl. The “Star Spangled
Banner” and “Kde Domov Muj,”
were sung by Helen Hegwood,
accompanied by Naomi Spencer.
President Jerry Ermis gave the
welcome address, followed by the
presentation of the Mayoťs
Proclamation by Maggie Battalino, the
Mayoťs Representative.
The Parosok Dance Group (a
Hungarian Dance) directed by Joe
Gooden, which was very good, was
next. One of our previous Chorál
Group ladies, Erna 0’Connor’s son
and daughter - in - law were in the
group; also another son did the video.
Erna is a very talented seamstress and
she told me she’s kept busy making
and designing costumes for this group.
Mr. Bili Malina gave the Czech
history and did a magnificant job.
Many of the guests had heard this
history before, but iťs always different
when someone else gives it. Bili, it was
well presented.
The Rhythm Cloggers, directed by
Moni Trappe, were great. Thaťs a
dance that puts “zip” in your legs.
At 5 p.m., the people in costume
assembled in the lobby and a Parade of
Czech Costumes started with District
V Queen Crystal Wallace and District
V King Keith Kieschnick leading the
march. The dance followed, with the
dance floor filled with dancers at all
times.
The Men’s Club drawing was a big
success. Those who won the prizes are:
lst prize was won by Jerry Ermis -
$100
2nd prize won by Albína
Taranowsky - $75
3rd prize won by Adolph Hoepfl --
$50
4th prize won by Karen Kenjura --
$25
All the miscellaneous gifts were:
1. Picadilly at Northline donated 3
“dinner for two,” and they were won
by L. Migl, Louis Hanuš and Dorothy
Bohac.
2. Adolph Hoepfl gave a 12 - pack
of oil and oil filter won by Willie Mae
Ermis.
3. Joe Miksch donated a čase of
Miller - Lite which was won by Věra
McKaskle.

Parrott.

Station and he donated 2 free lube and
oil changes, won by Haríey Cox and
Irene Klare.
7. Jake’s Egg Incorporated donated
52 dozen eggs, a supply for 1 year at 1
dozen a week, won by Tim Kostom.
(When I need eggs Lil go to Tim).
Jake’s Egg Incorporated also donated
skinless and boneless chicken breasts,
which were won by Ellen Miculka.
8. Vrazels donated 2 cassettes, won
by John Pierce, and Suzie Zievert.
Tom Marsh, who was in charge of
the drawing tickets, told me they sold
every ticket they had printed. I must
say those men really had the
cooperation from everyone, and thaťs
what it takés: “All pulling in the same
direction.”
Guess what! Albert Zajicek and
Evelyn Zahn got married October 28 at
5 p.m. in the Houston Brethren
Church. I think it was a surprise to
most everybody. Congratulations and
Lodge 88 members wish you both a
happy married life.
We háve quite a number of ill
members, námely, Mrs. George
(Lucille) Hiíger, who is in the
Northwest Memoriál Hospital. Her
husband is with her day and night. The
Hilgers háve been members of our
great Society for many years and so are
the children and grandehildren. They
need our prayers.
We were certainly saddened this
morning when the news arrived in
Houston that Leslie Blume from La
Grange had died. He was the director
of the Blume’s Orchestra, which was
very famous during my younger days,
and still are “tops” in my books.
Arnold Spencer, Naomťs husband,
has been very sick, but we all hope
he’ll recover soon. Naomi is a super
wife and is taking good care of him.
He is at home now -- thaťs usually the
medicine that does the most good.
Ronnie Durossette, who was an
SPJST member, died October 25th.
He’s survived by Nicole and Melissa
Durossette from Houston and Ward
Durossette from Haskell, Oklahoma.
The girls Nicole and Melissa are John
A. Hilsheťs grandehildren. His
funeral was in Haskell, Oklahoma.
Della Kadlecek is back on her feet ~
she’s on a walker, but Della, I know
you’11 soon throw that away. í’m
seriously expecting you back in the
Birthday Club soon.
Jerry Ermis’ sister, Sylvia Niesner,
died unexpectedly Monday, October
30, 1989 and was buried in La Grange.
You háve our sympathy, Jerry and
family.
Gus and Ann Urbanovsky had as
their house guests for 4 days, Amťs
brother, Dalph Kovar and wife, Doris,
from Lake Worth, Florida.. During
that time all their family, children and
granddaughter got together 3 drfferent
times for dinner, also an aunt and
uncle joined in. While visiting here,
they experienced a threat of a
hurricane, although I’m sure they had
a lovely time regardless.
The Blue Room Christmas Party
and Dance is December 17, from 4 to 9
p.m. The reservations are all gone,
however, there is a waiting list. If you
don’t pay your tickets by December
18,1989, the table will be availabíe for
someone on the waiting list. Be sure
and check with the office or Margaret
Allbritton and Roy Stonaker, who are
in charge of this dance and dinner. The
tickets are $12.50 per person, but look
what you get for that -- A GOOD
TIME!
