Juniorettes Win Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful Coalition Award

January 29, 2014

little-woman-of-lutz-award Congratulations! Another Award Presented to our Juniorettes:

Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful Coalition
Recognizing the Many Years of Support to the Road Adoption Program

The Juniorettes have hit the ground running this new year. They conducted the first of three road cleanups on January 11th. The girls cleared Lutz Lake Fern Road, which is their adopted road, of litter and debris.

At their general meeting the girls made candy necklaces made of Hershey’s kisses they will offer for a donation at the March Flea Market with the funds going to this year’s President’s Project which is Breast Cancer Awareness.

Advisors: Janet Hardy, Helen Cantrell, Sandy Elmore, Annie Fernandez and Marilyn Wannamaker

Elaine Pittman – Club Volunteer of the Year

January 29, 2014

We are so excited to announce that Elaine Pittman has been chosen as our Club Volunteer of the Year!

She will be presented as our District 8 Candidate at the Arts and Crafts Competition meeting on February 21. That is not to diminish the efforts of our other two nominees, Cheryl Benton and Allie Peterman. These ladies are a true asset to our Club and we are very proud of them both.

Elaine, as you all know is our plant lady, not only does she bring us plants to buy from her, but she takes in ill plants as well. Because of her plants, we have given $1,000 every year, for the last three years to Christian Social Services, and that’s just a small part of Elaine’s effort to our community.
