State Fraternal Director invites all to February youth webcast

Youth Webcast—Sunday, February 21 at 6 p.m.

We will be changing the next webcast date due to Valentine’s Day. We will also change the format. The format change is to have something for the youth to do with more interaction for them at the opening of the webcast. I will then have a brief interaction of important dates for parents and leaders.

To register for the February 21 webcast, visit www.spjst.org and hover over Events and click on Youth Webcast to register. After you register, you will receive an email with information on how to watch the live webcast.

For February, special guests will be State King Koby Stone of Lodge 47, Seaton and State Queen Holly Jones of Lodge 154, Fort Worth. I am looking forward to the program, and I hope you will be able to participate! Your efforts to spread the word to our younger members as well as to our teens is greatly appreciated.

Fraternally, Frank Horak State Fraternal Director —SPJST—
