GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members have wrapped up their huge annual Flea Market fundraiser at the Old Lutz School and wish to thank all who have contributed to its success, whether by generous donations of goods or by their purchases. The Flea was a big success and will go far in providing scholarship awards as well as funding the club’s many projects benefitting our community and beyond.
THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB team of members recently attended the dedication of the newly built home for a veteran and family at the Tunnels to Towers community in Land O’Lakes. The club women supported this project and came bearing various housewarming gifts for the new resident family, the most important of which were fire extinguishers. The T2T Organization has been providing mortgage-free homes to first-responder and veterans’ families since 9/11.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members and guests enjoyed a delicious luncheon and a very lively auction to fundraise for ARTS4ALL, which organization provides arts, music, animation and cultural programs and experiences for students and adults with disabilities and challenges. The auction was a great success and was conducted along the lines of “Let’s Make a Deal” with beautiful prizes with a few ‘zonks’ thrown in.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB celebrated its members’ winning Arts & Crafts entries at the GFWC District 8 competition. Nine 1st Place Blue Ribbon club winners will now advance to statewide competition at the upcoming GFWC Florida State Convention. Karin D’Amico’s beautiful quilt entry not only won a 1st Place ribbon but the “BEST IN SHOW” prize. Heartiest congratulations to Ms. D’Amico and good luck wishes for winning statewide in April.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB team of members worked hard to refresh the children’s playroom and family room, for the residents of Sunrise of Pasco County Domestic & Sexual Violence Shelter. These rooms were rather plain and undecorated until the club women arrived with paint and supplies in hand. After painting the walls, the club artists then adorned the rooms with murals of colorful animals and birds, while the children enjoyed watching the process. New furniture, bookcases, toys and a large screen tv were also provided by the club members.
The Woman’s Club would like to give special acknowledgement to Jay and Kim Canals, owners of AIC Painting Company, who generously donated enough Sherwin-Williams Duration paint to cover this large project. The value of the paint donation was more than $500 and provided a huge improvement to the shelter. Gail Howard, Melba Pineiro, Pennee Bowen and Karen Molis were a few of the club women involved in the project.
