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.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members recently visited two local cemeteries in Land O’Lakes and Lutz and placed flags on the graves of veterans in remembrance of their service and to commemorate all veterans over Memorial Day Weekend. The clubwomen thoughtfully prayed for these brave service men and women and gave thanks for their sacrifices on our behalf.
