Member Sharon J. Bard, Cookoff Champ
After enjoying generous samplings of each, members and guests voted and determined that Sharon J. Bard was the hands-down winner with her delicious recipe of chicken, yellow rice and black beans. Sharon’s big pot was emptied by the tasters who declared it to be a huge success. This enjoyable event was in support of the Woman’s Club-backed candidate for Guv’na, Jay Muffley, last President of the Board of the now decommissioned Lutz Volunteer Fire Dept. The winner of this zany, tongue-in-cheek political race will be announced at the Lutz 4th of July celebration and duly inaugurated for the next year. All funds raised in this event will be returned to the community through various local charitable organizations and non-profit groups.

Candidate Jay Muffly surrounded by Woman’s Club members
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club is proud to announce its support of Jay “Papa” Muffly as their candidate in his bid for Lutz Guv’na.
Guv’na Candidate Jay Muffly
The Woman’s Club has also scheduled a Guv’na Flea Market for Sat. June 21 from 8 am to 2 pm at a member’s home at 220 W. County Line Rd., Lutz near the corner of Hwy. 41. Everyone knows the Woman’s Club always puts together the BEST fleas in the area with fabulous bargains. Come out early to support our candidate and grab some treasures at great prices. All proceeds from the Guv’na fundraisers come back to benefit the community through needy local charities and non-profits.
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club has long been known to recycle and conserve for the benefit of the environment and the community. Members Aniko Solomonson and Nancy Boschert recently took recycling to a new level by finding a treasure trove of at least 150 children’s books in a dumpster. The ladies weren’t too proud to “dumpster dive” in order to recover books for various children’s reading projects sponsored by the woman’s club. Books are regularly delivered by club members to area laundromats specifically for children to enjoy and even take home to keep free of charge. Many times these donated books are the only reading materials in some homes for the children to enjoy, particularly for the pre-school and kindergarten ages. Books are also donated to Metropolitan Ministries and area domestic violence shelters on behalf of their resident children by the woman’s club.

Edwina R. Kraemer, past President of GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club, recently hosted her lovely Annual Guv’na High Tea in her home as a fundraiser for the club’s Lutz Guv’na candidate, Jay Muffly.
Members and guests enjoyed a delicious assortment of traditional high tea finger sandwiches, scones, desserts and an assortment of teas all served by GFWC Little Women of Lutz under the direction of their advisor, Janet Hardy. Ms. Kraemer arranged for a guest speaker, Marilyn Gaspardo Bertch, USF Professor and Tampa Rose Society member, who gave an informative talk on roses and their care in our climate.
The ladies enjoyed a wonderful afternoon while raising funds for this zany Lutz Guv’na contest which will ultimately benefit local charities and non-profit organizations.

Aniko Solomonson, longtime member of GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club, hosted her Annual Guv’na Bunco party at her Lutz home as a fundraiser for the Woman’s Club Lutz Guv’na candidate, Jay Muffly.
This fun event was well-attended by club members, their guests and the candidate, Jay and his wife, Barbara. Delicious homemade finger foods and desserts were served, games played and numerous prizes were awarded all to raise funds for the whacky Lutz Guv’na race.
All monies raised on behalf of the candidates will ultimately benefit the community through various local charities and non-profit organizations.
