GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members, under the direction of Conservation Chair Allie Peterman and with the help of two husbands, Joel Jackson and Brian Peterman, got together for a special project to build bluebird houses in order to attract these delicate little native birds back to our area.

Pesticides and predators have seriously decimated their numbers so the club women are on a mission to help bring back this population

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members, under the direction of Home Life Chair, Ciel Birkett, recently assisted with the Annual Easter Seals “A Pair to Remember” Fundraiser at the Tampa Bay Yacht Club. The clubwomen chucked their usual green shirts and donned chic black outfits to serve as greeters and hostesses for the event to benefit Easter Seals.

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members, together with other volunteers, have collaborated on a “SEW CARING” Project for patients at Florida Hospital-Wesley Chapel. Thus far, the ladies have completed 25 beautiful heart-shaped pillows and 25 seatbelt strap cushions for breast cancer patients, all put together to show support and love for the ladies undergoing treatment.

The Sewing Ladies are in urgent need of such items as 2 portable sewing machines, soft flannel and cotton fabric, threads, notions (ribbons, rickrack, trims), scissors, etc.

For more information please call Florida Hospital-Wesley Chapel at 813-929-5497.
