Club Volunteer of the Year, Elaine Pittman
Ms. Pittman has long served the Woman’s Club in numerous positions and offices through the years and has earned her reputation as the “Plant Lady”, by growing and selling potted plants at community events and donating all proceeds to several of her favorite local charities.
The Woman’s Club salutes and congratulates Elaine Pittman for her service and commitment to the betterment of her club and her community.
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club will meet at the Lutz Community Center on Thurs., Feb. 27 at 9:30 a.m. for fellowship followed by a meeting and “Talk of the Town” Fashion Show.
The members will model haute (and lower) couture culled from their Flea Market Le Chic Boutique.
This zany and fun event displays the great sense of humor of these clubwomen have while preparing for their big Annual Flea Market Event.
Mark your calendars for the best Flea in the area on Fri. & Sat. March 7th & 8th at the Old Lutz School from 8 am to 2 pm.
The ladies will collect donations from the community each Mon. & Wed. at the Old School from 9 till noon until the sale. They depend upon community donations to make this extravaganza the big success that it always is.
Each year, the proceeds are returned to our community in the form of scholarships and donations to the local community organizations.
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club had a large presence at the recent Gulfside Regional Hospice fundraiser Tea. Hospice is one of the many local organizations this active service organization supports in a number of ways. The “Green Shirt” ladies donned fashionable outfits and beautiful hats and enjoyed the authentic British High Tea. Member Jeannie Oller won 2nd Place Award for her lovely hat creation.
Congratulations! Another Award Presented to our Juniorettes:

Recognizing the Many Years of Support to the Road Adoption Program
The Juniorettes have hit the ground running this new year. They conducted the first of three road cleanups on January 11th. The girls cleared Lutz Lake Fern Road, which is their adopted road, of litter and debris.
At their general meeting the girls made candy necklaces made of Hershey’s kisses they will offer for a donation at the March Flea Market with the funds going to this year’s President’s Project which is Breast Cancer Awareness.

We are so excited to announce that Elaine Pittman has been chosen as our Club Volunteer of the Year!
She will be presented as our District 8 Candidate at the Arts and Crafts Competition meeting on February 21. That is not to diminish the efforts of our other two nominees, Cheryl Benton and Allie Peterman. These ladies are a true asset to our Club and we are very proud of them both.
Elaine, as you all know is our plant lady, not only does she bring us plants to buy from her, but she takes in ill plants as well. Because of her plants, we have given $1,000 every year, for the last three years to Christian Social Services, and that’s just a small part of Elaine’s effort to our community.
