Ohio
The Buckeye State
The birthplace of seven
presidents, Ohio has also
made history as a major
stop on the Underground
Railroad and a center of
space research.
Kentucky
The Bluegrass State
Each spring Lousiville host
the country's oldest
continually run horse race—
the Kentucky Derby. Before
the start of every race, they
play "My Old Kentucky
Home."
Illinois
The Prairie State
From baseball, comedy and
blues in the Windy City to
some of the country's most
productive farms, the Land
of Lincoln has something
for everyone.
Indiana
The Hoosier State
More interstate highways
connect in Indianapolis
than in any other city.
The famed Indy 500 takes
place each year in
Indianapolis. Racers in the
500-mile race must drive
200 times around a
two-and-a-half mile oval
track, after which the
winner traditionally
polishes off a bottle of milk.
THE FIFTH DISTRICT
Our Fifth District represents Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana & Illinois
Welcome to the Fifth District! This district is
represented by Betty Meiring who hails from Indiana.
She does a splendid job of managing the district. In
fact, the Fifth District just celebrated it's 79th reunion
last summer at the Founders Hall at Sauder Village in
Archbold, Ohio.
The Fifth District has 124 members of the WFA:

Ohio takes the lead with 70 WFA members
Kentucky loses with 6 WFA members
Indiana has 26 WFA members
Illinois only has 22 WFA members

We need memberships family. One of the best
things you can do for your Wing family heritage is
to join the Wing Family of America, Inc.

We are one of the longest running family
organizations of this type in the United States of
America (if not the longest). Our OWL which has
been published since 1898 is the oldest annual of
its type in this country. A family genealogy annual
that includes history as well as up-to-date
information about family members.

The WFA also maintains the Wing Fort House in
Sandwich, MA. The oldest home in North America
continuously owned by one family.

It is a matter of pride, a matter of honor, a matter of
family and a matter of the fact that it is a Wing
Thing.
I WANT TO BECOME A MEMBER OF
THE WFA!
