WIDOWED PERSONS SERVICE
of Tarrant County, TX
"Touching the lives of widowed persons every day"
HOME
WELCOME
In recent months or days you have been placed in a period of time in your life that caused you grief and sorrow in the loss of someone you loved.
The members of the Widowed Persons Service of Tarrant County extend a hand to you and welcome you into our lives.
You are welcome to view the pages of this web site. We extend an invitation to join in our activities. We believe you will find comfort in the knowledge that everyone you meet in the coming months and years through our activities has experienced the same cloudy days but you can be reassured there are sunny days ahead.
After viewing these pages ask the office to send you one of our monthly newsletters. You will be glad you
did.
Once again, we welcome you to review our web site, become a member and get involved. There are no fees or dues.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
August 2025
Summer is here. Hope you are staying cool!
This month’s feature is our “Members Directory.” It’s time to sign up for our annual WPS members only directory so that our members can communicate with each other. It’s hard to have everyone’s number in your phone.
The Directory form is in this month’s newsletter, and the cost is only $10. This is also a fundraiser for WPS. Please return the form and money as soon as possible.
We are also looking for businesses to advertise in our directory. If you do business with a company, ask them to place an ad in our directory. Their business will be listed in our directory, but they will receive a businesses-only copy of the directory so they can’t solicit business from us. A half page ad is $40 ,and a full page ad is $60. This information can be very helpful to members when looking for repairs needs.
Don’t forget to send in your drawing coupon stubs and money for our annual drawing in October. Ask your event host for extra drawing coupons to sell extras to friends and family. This is what helps keep the newsletter coming to you.
Please remember WPS on North Texas Giving Day, an annual event in which we participate along with many other non-profits in the area. This year NTX Giving Day is on Thursday, September 19. NTX Giving Day provides an opportunity for special contributions and has been a significant source of income for the organization in past years. Anyone can donate, so make your family and friends aware of this opportunity.
Please be as generous as you can, although donations of any amount are much appreciated. Full details are available in the flyer.
Remember to wear your name tag to all breakfasts, lunches and dinners as this is the way new members get to know more friendly people. Please don’t tell someone they can’t sit beside you, as this causes new people to drop out of WPS because they feel like they are not welcome. Introduce them to
others in the group.
I want to commend our facilitators and assistants for the great work they are doing with the Grief Support sessions as our attendances are beginning to increase this year. If you know someone who is grieving over the loss of their spouse, offer to go with them to the first session, as it is hard to walk into a room full of strangers.
Phyllis Weisheit, President
