GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club had a large contingent of members attend the recent Bow Wow Bingo Fundraiser held at the Woodmont Clubhouse which the Woman’s Club co-hosted with the Temple Terrace Woman’s Club and included all of GFWC Florida District 8 clubs. This event was the kick-off fundraiser to benefit Canine Companions for Independence – Wounded Warrior Initiative. The goal of this year-long project of DogFest and other related events is to raise more than $50,000 with which to purchase a puppy and provide for the necessary training.
Dickens, the adorable CCI Lab puppy (now big boy), attended this event as a special guest and patiently awaited his turn to bark “Bingo”. Dickens was guest of honor and brought by volunteer & handler, Bob Hoak of the Canine Companions for Independence organization, which group will benefit from this recent fundraiser as part of GFWC Florida President’s Project and her favored charity during her presidential term.
