GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members, as part of their Conservation Dept. educational project, participated in a birding field trip to Flatwoods Wilderness Park and learned much about native plants.

In addition to learning more information on the Eastern Bluebird, the ladies were excited to find a fossilized bone believed to be from a precursor to the manatee.

As a thank you to their guides, the GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club donated 2 bluebird boxes to Flatwoods Wilderness Park.

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members turned up at the Old Lutz School bearing rakes, shovels and wearing work gloves as a Conservation Project. They weeded, raked, cleaned the flower beds and replanted the flower pots which they donated last year.

The Woman’s Club has a close attachment to this historic registered landmark building and noticed that the landscaping needed a little refreshing.

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club recently held its semi-annual bake sale to benefit the Lopez Veteran’s Nursing Home residents’ petty cash fund.

The proceeds will allow the veterans to enjoy a shopping trip for personal items and/or a snack at a fast food restaurant for a change of pace.

Club members, under the direction of Chair Donna Losch, baked homemade treats for sale to the residents, staff and visitors. The Woman’s Club has long supported the Lopez Veteran’s Nursing Home through these bake sales as well as conducting fun monthly bingo games with prizes and homemade strawberry shortcake for the residents.

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members recently partnered with Tampa Gem Sertoma and dual club members, Ms. Barton, Ms. Robles & Ms. Fisher, to form and sponsor a team for the “Celebrate Sound” / Don’t Walk in Silence 5K fundraiser.

The Woman’s Club made a generous contribution to this fundraiser event as well as walking the 5K walk which was held at USF in support of hearing health awareness.

This fundraiser project was sponsored by Sertoma International.

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members showed up wielding mops, brooms, hoses and cleaning supplies to assist the Friends of Old Lutz School with a heavy-duty spring cleaning. The club women felt it was time to give back for the privilege of use of this historic building and grounds for their annual Flea Market which was recently concluded. These gals know how to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

A team of GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members, under the direction of Public Affairs Chair Donna Losch, regularly volunteer at the “Support the Troops” warehouse facility in Wesley Chapel.

The ladies work assembly-line style to fill boxes of donated personal items, snacks and other goodies requested by our servicemen and women overseas. In addition, Ms. Losch, on behalf of the Woman’s Club presented the organization with a donation check of $200 toward postage required to mail these boxes to our troops.
