GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB was represented by a large delegation of members at the recent GFWC Florida Convention in Orlando.  The club delegates voted for the 2022-2024 slate of officers, attended the installation of new officers, were present at numerous workshops and participated in the awards ceremonies.  The club was named “2021 Club of the Year” in Category 4 as well as the recipient of numerous awards for its volunteerism, service projects and donations to the community.  Congratulations and job well done to these hardworking Green Shirt Ladies!

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members attended the recent dedication of the newest home built by Habitat for Humanity in Dade City.  The Woman’s Club has long supported Habitat and came bearing housewarming gifts for the proud new homeowners.  The ladies presented the family with a beautiful wreath, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, a water filtration system with a set of Tervis tumblers and other useful home goods.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members participated in their monthly ESO book club meeting and enjoyed brunch while they were in deep discussion.  The ladies belong to ESO (Epsilon Sigma Omicron), an honorary educational society and federation-supported under GFWC, and thoroughly enjoy choosing a best seller or a classic book each month to read and discuss among friends.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members were present at the St. Pete-Clearwater Airport to enthusiastically welcome veterans home from their recent Honor Flight to Washington, DC to tour the War Memorials.  The vets, for the most part, were from the Korean and Vietnam War era.  The ladies were there to honor the veterans and present them with special flag stars to commemorate their service.

 

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members stopped in to visit the clients of the Lutz Senior Center to chat and served them delicious breakfast treats.  All the seniors enjoyed this unexpected visit, camaraderie and generous hospitality from the clubwomen.

 

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members worked hard to raise funds at its Arts & Crafts Show to benefit Baldomero Lopez State Veterans’ Nursing Home residents.  The clubwomen presented a check for $1700 to Sharon Richmond of Operation Patriot, which group works to organize special events and entertainment for the residents’ enjoyment.  This donation will be used to benefit the veterans directly and will provide many little extra items and special treats which mean a great deal to them.
