2025 WPS Directory: Each year WPS generates a WPS directory, as a fundraiser, which allows you to keep in touch with other WPS members, many that you have not seen in many years. An Ad and Member directory input sheets are included as flyers so that we can generate the 2025 WPS Directory. The Member and Ad directory input sheets are also available on our website, wpstc.org. The due date for input sheets has been extended until December 16, 2025.

​​

WPS Travel: First Travel of Burleson has set up WPS Caribbean Cruise for Oct 25, 2025, to Nov 1, 2025. Interior Rooms cost $1728 for 2. A Balcony State Room is $2368 to $2428 for 2. The prices include Taxes, Fees and Port Expenses for two people. Bus is not available at this time, but that option will probably be added as an option later. Additional travel packages still in the planning stage for next year, are a March 2025, 3-day bus trip to Fredericksburg, Texas and a December 2025 bus trip to Branson, Missouri.

​

Taxes:

As we approach the end of the year, we need to think about filling out our income tax. If you are required to take a Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) from an IRA account, this distribution is taxed as earned income. If you do not need that income, by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), which reduces your earned income. You can take advantage of this even if you take the standard deduction. See pg. 3 for more information.
