Members recently helped serve food and drink to the volunteers who worked at the newly completed “Homes for Our Troops” residence of Veteran Marine Cpl. Justin Gaertner in Lutz laying huge truckloads of new sod and other landscaping work.
It was very heartwarming to see the many and varied community groups which came out in force to support our veteran.

100 bags were made: cut, ironed, sewn and will be filled by the other clubs in the district with supplies and pads. The bags will be completed and sent in September.
