GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members hosted a fun “Boggy Bingo” fundraiser on St. Patrick’s Day to benefit Camp Boggy Creek at Beef O’Brady’s in Lutz.  The support of the restaurant management and staff was greatly appreciated and helped make this event a big success.  The proceeds will go toward the club’s goal to send 2 seriously ill children to a weeklong summer camp where they will be treated to a fun-packed week of just being happy kids.  This camp was founded by Paul Newman and the late Gen. Norman Swartzkopf to provide a cost-free respite to these sick children.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members recently donated a large number of fashionable work-appropriate outfits to ‘Dress for Success’ to help women present well in job interviews and in the workplace.  Club woman, Madeline McCulloh, delivered a large amount of donations to the Dress for Success offices in West Tampa on behalf of the club.  The Woman’s Club works diligently to support home-insecure and unemployed women re-enter the work force so they may realize their self-worth, be self-sufficient and support themselves and their children.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB has recently honored member Pam Blumenthal with THREE of its most esteemed titles, which is an historic feat in the club’s 63 years of community service.  Ms. Blumenthal has distinguished herself with fellow members choosing her as their “Clubwoman of the Year”, “L.E.A.D.S. Candidate AND “Volunteer of the Year”.  Ms. Blumenthal has won the Trifecta, the Hat Trick and the Grand Slam of its club awards by her exemplary leadership style, amazing enthusiasm and hands-on club work in many areas of involvement, including acting as a mentor/advisor of the GFWC Little Women of Lutz.   The Woman’s Club extends its heartiest congratulations to Pam, our ‘Ms. Everything’ member.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members donated an SUV filled with handbags and backpacks which were stuffed full of needed hygiene and practical items for unhoused women.  The donations will be delivered to Pasco County Women’s Shelter in New Port Richey for distribution to the residents of these must-have necessities.  The club joined their GFWC sisters statewide in this special day of community service.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members proudly presented a check to an officer/representative (in red shirt) of the “Operation Patriots” organization, which group supports many fun activities, special outings and treats for the veteran residents of Baldomero Lopez Nursing Home in Land O’Lakes.  The Woman’s Club has supported the residents of Lopez Nursing Home for many years through socialization, Bingo games and generous donations.  This year the club has raised $1500 for the veterans through its popular Tombola game at their Arts & Crafts show, which was a record breaker.  A great deal of credit for this success goes to member, April Saland, who chaired the event and spent many hours collecting bottles as prizes besides physically working the booth at the Craft Show.  Ms. Saland is pictured holding the left corner of the presentation check and club President Elayne Bassinger is holding the right corner.
