On March 4, the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club marked a milestone—65 years of service, friendship, and community impact—with a celebratory luncheon at The Great Catch restaurant in Lutz.

For over six decades, our club has been dedicated to making a difference, supporting local organizations, hosting fundraisers, and volunteering to uplift our community. But beyond the service, we have also built a strong network of friendships that have stood the test of time.

As we step into the future, we remain committed to our core values of giving back, supporting one another, and strengthening our community.
