We finally received some much-
needed rain but could háve doně
without the hail. Many of our
members had roof damage, Windows
broken and everything in their
gardens beat up. There will be a lot
of replanting in many gardens. It
was one of the worst hail storms
probably to ever hit the Fort Worth
area. Hopefully there will not be
anything like it for many years to
come, but that is something we do
not háve any control over.
We had a good turnout at our last
meeting and all business was
conducted very capably by our
President Albert Kubala.
Brother AI Svacek was back with
us after his open-heart surgery and
we were glad to see him and hope he
continues doing fine. Sister Teresa
Dearing had dental surgery. Lillie
McMillen had eye surgery. Mary
Hubenak was in St. Joseph’s
Hospital for tests and treatment.
Doris Hawrylak had a heart attack
and is now at home. Brother Steve
Matusevich was in St. Joseph
Hospital for tests and treatment.
We hope all of our sick members are
fine and can be with us at our
meetings before long.
Sympathy cards were sent to the
family of Richard F. Hubenak, Jr.
who passed away in Montgomery,
Texas, April 13; and the family of
Brother Mealius Skillern who

guests, Thelma and Eugene Hrneir.
Thelma’s address was very
inspirational and we all want to
thank her for visiting our lodge.
Youth Leader Gladys Jašek in-
formed us of the many activities her
group was involved in. Douglas and
Noreen Jašek were elected vice
president and reportér respectively

Ernest and family went to Robs-
town.
We missed the Hrabals; they had
company and it was one of the few
times they missed a meeting.
Theresa Haag is getting close to the
happy event, which will add a new
family member to the Haag house-
hold. April and Chris are growing
and will be able to help mother with
the new baby.
Did you ever catch 100 fish at one
outing?? That is what Brother Orsag
did at his speciál hideaway at the
river. I wonder what his secretis?
We hope to see ya’ll at the Spring
Fling, which will be held May 17th,

grandfather’s ranch on the
Guadalupe River. Bring your fishing
rods! E very one had such a good time
at Mr. MeckFs plače so that we shall
repeat it this time.
It is interesting to hear all the
men bragging what good cooks they
are. I wish my husband would do
that for me at home. Mr. Parker has,
by the way, just returned from his
business trip to Ireland and France,
with a quick štopover at Hlohovec;
