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

December 2024

Another year has flown by so fast. I hope you have given some thought as to what you want to partake of this holiday season. So prepare yourself. I am sure there will be many invitations to you from family and friends. It is up to you whether you accept these invitations. Just remember you must take care of yourself. It is OK to say “no” without an explanation.

• When you receive this newsletter, our annual Christmas Banquet will be over, and everyone will have 
   had a great afternoon of visiting with friends and making new friends. This event could not have                       happened if we hadn’t had members who realized that all the things we offer could not happen if                   members didn't participate in our fundraisers. We don't charge for our Grief Support sessions, Holiday           Grief session, or Memorial Candlelight Service, meetings that help so many people.
   
• Our expenses include the newsletter (paper, printing, postage) and office space, where so many things          begin.

• Our board members can't do everything. We need our members to volunteer as hosts for breakfasts,             lunches, and dinners and attend our fundraisers, such as dinners at a special restaurant, dances, and             the annual drawing for wonderful prizes.

• So, hopefully, when you are made aware of an event you will volunteer. There is always someone to                 help you.

• We are always looking for hosts for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in many areas.

• What are some suggestions you have for prizes at our annual drawing?

• Of course, we are always looking for a place to hold our general meetings that will not charge for room          use.

• We need you as members to make suggestions as to what we can do for fundraisers, something new              and different. So, share your ideas on what your organization can do to improve and continue to offer            things that you will attend and give you a place to go and enjoy life.

• Hope you have an enjoyable holiday. We’re looking forward to a great NEW YEAR for WPS in 2025!


                                    Phyllis Weisheit, President
