Annual Guv’na Bunco Party Fundraiser 2014

June 10, 2014

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.
