GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members recently enjoyed an afternoon of Bingo and fabulous prizes at the Temple Terrace Woman’s Club. The clubwomen gathered with their sister clubs in the GFWC FL District 8 to raise funds, enjoy the camaraderie, renew friendships and share community service ideas and projects.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members who also serve as advisors and mentors to Little Women of Lutz, their GFWC-affiliated teen group, recently partnered in the girls’ dedicated highway project of keeping Lutz-Lake Fern Road clear of litter and debris. Despite the extreme heat, these ladies managed to fill bags and wagons full of debris to keep this trash out of the environment and landfills. The Woman’s Club is very committed to mentoring its teen club and teaching the young ladies leadership skills and the value and rewards of volunteerism from a young age.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB sponsored a big 4th of July Parade and Celebration in Lutz for the first time since the pandemic. It chose as its theme “We’re Back!!”. This event is well-known in the area, attracting thousands of spectators enjoying an old fashioned, small town family friendly celebration of Independence Day.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members donated and served breakfast foods, juices and pastries to the senior clients of Lutz Senior Center, which had been closed for the past 2+ years due to Covid precautions. The seniors greatly enjoyed this special treat and appreciated the company and conversations with the club women.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members recently volunteered at the annual “Operation Stand-Down” event in Spring Hills, which provides transportation and free medical, dental, sheltering placement and legal services to veterans, particularly those who are home insecure, as well as counseling and other assistance. The club women, Nancy Taylor and Diana Kelly, registered the veterans and directed them to the appropriate areas where these much-needed services were offered.
