| Well, Fourth District...we need to see some numbers being chalked up. If it wasn't for Florida I would almost cry at the dismal numbers. Here is how the numbers fall: North Carolina has 12 WFA Members South Carolina has 5 WFA members Georgia has 18 WFA members Florida has 51 WFA members That means a grand total of 86 members for the Fourth District. I've said it before but I don't mind saying it again. We need all of you to support your family organization, 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. |
