WELCOME

You are welcome to view the pages of this web site. We extend an invitation to join in our activities.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
November 2024
Fall is finally here. Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather.
The holidays are going to be here soon (where has the year gone?), so prepare to manage them for yourself. WPS has a couple of activities that can help. First, we have "Getting Though the Holidays'' Grief Support on Sunday, November 3, at 3:00 PM at Pleasantview Baptist Church in Arlington. This session will help you understand and plan for the holidays. Also, we have our annual Candlelight Remembrance Memorial Service on Nov. 10 at 3:00 PM at St John Lutheran Church in Mansfield where we will have a special time to remember our spouses. This is a very uplifting service. Your family is welcome to attend, too. Of course, we will have refreshments, so that afterwards we can visit with our friends. By attending these wonderful support events, when Thanksgiving Day arrives for your family gatherings, you will have prepared yourself
for the day.
The General (Annual) Meeting will be held on November 21 at Sunny’s Café, 3000 SE Loop 820, Fort Worth, just a short walk from the WPS office. In addition to the regular business meeting, the membership will be voting for the Officers and Board Members for 2025. Following the meeting our WPS Office will have an " Open House" for members to see where all the work happens for your support and enjoyment. We will have cookies and punch.
Sunday, December 1, at 1:30 PM is the annual "CHRISTMAS BANQUET" at Mira Vista Country Club in Fort Worth. Come enjoy a wonderful afternoon starting with a great luncheon followed by musical entertainment. We’ll also have a silent auction (do a bit of early Christmas shopping), door prizes, and, of course, time to visit with our WPS family. Reservations are required (no tickets at the door), so get your reservations in early as seating is limited.
Enjoy the autumn leaves and their beautiful colors!
Phyllis Weisheit, President
