PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
May 2025
WPS ????
----NEVER HEARD OF IT!!!
-------WHAT IS IT ????
------------WHAT DO YOU DO ???
These are typical responses I receive when I mention WPS to people. At times I am surprised that they haven't heard of us. But, then I remember that we are an exclusive organization. We have paid our "dues" the hard way! We are of interest only to a small segment of the total populace.
Unlike many other organizations, we contact only those who are eligible for membership. Our principal source of new members is the obituary columns. Depending on the circumstances, we are not always able to obtain an accurate address for the widowed person.
Approximately three months after the funeral, we send a letter of condolence and a newsletter. We also develop contacts by word of mouth, by members, their families, and friends of WPS. Sometimes we encounter persons who are new to the area and are searching for some place to go to meet other widowed people. What's my point? The point is that there are widowed people all over Tarrant and surrounding counties who have not heard of us! Some may not be interested in WPS, but others are looking for help. So we as members should always tell people about WPS , as we may be able to help them with their grief and on their journey of moving forward with their lives.
As WPS members, we can all help by explaining who we are and what we do. The next time someone asks "what does this WPS group do?” take a moment to educate them about us. We can't help people if they do not know about us. We all need to make an effort to inform others every chance we get.
Enjoy the beautiful spring weather as summer will soon be here.
Phyllis Weisheit, President
