For Starters Spotlight ZlfyÁeti Br, 27 Toledo, OH TOLEDO, OH — Congratulations to Elizabeth Hanus, who was recently awarded first runner-up in the "My Fair Lady Pageant" of Lucas County, Ohio. Elizabeth, 94, is pictured with the trophy she received. She also won a bag loaded with gifts. Bom in Hungary, Elizabeth now resides at the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek. She was among eight contestants representing assisted living facilities in the county. Elizabeth's father, Joseph Poch, was a lifelong member of the WPA and a former representative of the former Verhovay Aid Association. Elizabeth's seven children and her entire extended family continue the family tradition of participating in the WPA. Among her favorite activities are reading the daily newspaper and watching the morning and evening news on television to keep up with current events. She also remains active at her home parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Way to go, Elizabeth! September is Life Insurance Awareness Month The WPA is joining hundreds of the nation's leading insurance companies and other industry groups in promoting the importance of life insurance during Life Insurance Awareness Month this September. It's estimated that about 68 million Americans have no life insurance, and that many of those that are insured do not own enough coverage to meet their and their survivors' needs. Now is the perfect time to review your needs and your current coverage and to make any changes or additions necessary. If someone would suffer financially when you die, then you need life insurance. But how much would you need? For a quick estimate, check out the insurance needs calculator at www.lifehappens.org/hoivmuch. But, for a thorough analysis of your needs, meet with a qualified insurance professional. Call your local WPA representative or our Home Office at 1-800-848-7366.
