A huge thank you to KeKe’s Breakfast Cafe in Lutz for supporting our GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Club member and Vice President, Linda Mitchell for Guv’na of Lutz. The food, delicious as always and the service was super to accommodate and serve the crowd. Keke’s Breakfast Cafe and the community support was greatly appreciated as we continue to campaign to elect Linda for the 2024 Guv’na of Lutz. The Guv’na announcement will take place at the annual July 4th Celebration and Parade at Lutz Lake Fern Road and US 41. The parade begins at 10am.

GFWC Lutz-Land o’ Lakes Woman’s Club members enjoyed a lovely spring-themed luncheon where butterflies prevailed. Four new members were installed: Debby Erdahl, Pat Evans, Lizabeth Cota and Barbara Bird. Felicity Wallner, another new member was unable to attend. Elayne Bassinger installed the new members with a candlelight service and President Peggy Andrews and Elayne Bassinger presented them with gift bags. Welcome to our new members!

GFWC Lutz – Land o’ Lakes Woman’s Club members made another large delivery of club member handmade breast pillows, port protectors, turbans and drain bags to Moffitt Cancer Center and Advent Health Hospital. Team members at both hospitals excitedly await the delivery each month as these items are greatly needed by their breast cancer patients.

On Saturday, May 4, 2024, at 11 a.m. club members from GFWC Lutz-Land o’ Lakes Woman’s Club were invited to attend a Welcome Home Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting at the Let’s Do-Good Village in Land O’ Lakes in honor of Jenny, Caden, and J.J. Williams.  It is no coincidence that May 4 is International Firefighters Day.  Jenny, Caden and J.J. chose this special date to celebrate their husband/father Patrick (Pat) Williams who worked as a firefighter with the Kansas City, MO Fire Department for 33 years until he passed away from occupational illness.  It was our pleasure to join the Williams Family and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as they were recognized and honored Pat’s life, service, sacrifice and legacy as we welcomed his family into their new mortgage-free home.  Twelve Green Shirts attended bearing gifts for the family and their new home.

GFWC Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club participated in activities for Earth Day at Crews Lake Park.  They made bee ornaments and flowers to teach the young people who attended about the importance of bees in our environment.
