UPDATE ON THE DRAWING October 17, 2024
Beside the three big prizes listed on the ticket, other items will be: a wet/dry shop vac, a Lost Oak Winery Tour and Tasting for 2, Fort Worth Stock show & Rodeo seats for 4, and many more. So sell the drawing coupons to friends and family!
After the coupon drawing, there will be many door prizes for those attending the General Meeting. Hope to see you there.
It has been brought to my attention by several persons that New Members going to an event, wanted to sit down at a table and were told "You can't sit here, I'm saving this for my friend."
Number one, that's RUDE. We are all there to enjoy the event and should always "Welcome" the new person. If you want to sit with someone just move where there are empty seats. The person you have been rude to will say they will never attend any WPS events again, because they were treated so rudely. Also, a long time member stated that they were upset that when they returned after a long illness, no one would talk to them. They gave WPS one more chance fortunately and everyone was very friendly so they decided to return to the next event.
So remember when you were new and how you would have felt if someone was rude to you.
Let's all be a little kinder to our visitors and guests.
A LITTLE KINDNESS GOES A LONG WAY!
Don’t forget about our two big fundraising activities in September, North Texas Giving Day and Donate 2 Impact. This organization is supported solely by donations and several fundraising activities. Your generous support of these two specific activities is greatly appreciated (see flyers page 6 and page 7).
Phyllis Weisheit, President
