of our President Linda Mikush in May
after a brief illness, Vice President

She extended sympathy to Mrs.
Mikush’s family. She will be missed by
the members because she was a loyal
and dedicated lodge member, having
served as president, vice president,
youth leader, assistant youth leader
and on various committees.
Pledge to the flag was led by Janelle
Chudej. Resolutions of sympathy were
read by Gaye Galetka for our departed
members, Linda Mikush and Stazie
Jahn.

meeting which were approved.
Correspondence followed. Treasurer

Lodge 13,
Dime Box Meeting
Dear Members and Friends:
Sorry I missed the meeting Sunday!
There are times when something comes
up and we háve to miss a meeting.
Each of us should try to attend as
many meetings as possible. There are
decisions that háve to be made and it is
best to háve as many members present,
as possible, to help make those
decisions. In every organization there
seems to be just a few people who
attend meetings and make decisions;
then there are those who never come to
meetings and find fault.
Everything seems to be rockir
along rather smoothly here at
lodge. We are fortunate to háve a
dedicated workcrew who does a
fantastic job at all occasions. The
cleaning ladies do an excellent job and
we háve to give our Entertainment
Committee a big thanks. They are the
ones who makethings happen. Thanks
to everyone for a job well doně.
For those of you who may not know
when our meetings are held, they are
held every third Sunday of each month
starting at 2 p.m. The youth meeting is
held immediately following at 3 p.m.
Sister Doris Ford is the youth leader at
this time. She is doing a very good job.
There are times when I really miss the
youth club. I was youth leader for
several years. We went to Astro World
the other day and it reminded me of
;he days when we would go with the
youth club to different places. We had
about 50 active kids at that time and it
was something to try and keep up with
that many kids. We went to Six Flags
several times and to lots of other fun
places. Lots of fun! Hang in there,
Doris, you are doing a great job.
I better close with a wish of good
luck, wealth and happiness to
everyone. See you at the next meeting.

auction, face painting, and cow patty
bingo.

Lodge 28, East
Bernard Meeting
Dear Members:
It seems as though this year is going
by very fast, here it is time for the
August meeting of Lodge Karel Jonas.
The meeting, on Sunday, August 3rd,
will be without Brother Albert Lupik,
our lodge recording secretary, for he
will be already away on an automobile
trip to eastern Canada. The 2 p.m.
“start,” in the lodge halí will follow a
standard “Order of Business” and
agenda. There will be reports on the
progress of “Direct Billing” and other
subjects.
The E.O. of L.M. will convene at
the buffet table after the business
meeting.
News of “Direct Billing” was
brought to the July 6th meeting. The
lodge should be on “Direct Billing” by
the end of July. Other reports were
accepted as given by the dozen or so
members present. The meeting was
under an hour long with no motions
being voted on.
Sister Alene Kortis won the dooř
prize.
The meeting of the E.O. of L.M.
was made a big success by the donation
of food by Sisters Haverda, Kortis,
Janik, Luquette and Nezval. There
was more than enough food to go
around.
Unknown to us, Brother Frank
Brdecka was in a Houston hospital for
about a week and was due to come
home the evening of July 6th, the
meeting day. A quick recovery is
wished to him. Brother Willie Kelner,
a sib brother to lodge financial
secretary, Brother Anton Kelner, Jr.,
is also on the sick list and we hope he is
feeling better.
About “Direct Billing:” To those
members who háve questions about it,
you can get the answers in the meeting.
What will happen is that those
members still paying on their policies
will NO LONGER pay their dues to
the local lodge financial secretary but
WILL PAY DIRECT TO THE
SUPREME LODGE FINANCIAL
SECRETARY, Brother Jerry Mikuláš,
Jr.
To the faithful, see you August 3rd
and this writer remains---
