GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB recently attended a fundraiser golf tournament at Innisbrook Golf Resort for the benefit of veterans. As part of a very popular and ongoing project of the Woman’s Club, its members presented each veteran present with a star, removed from retired American flags, together with a very touching and patriotic verse in a pocket sleeve meant to be worn close to one’s heart. The recipients were all deeply moved and very appreciative of their star packets.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members met to plant rows of flags on the Old Lutz School property along US 41 and hung their club banner in celebration of July 4th.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members, KarenSue Molis and Aniko Solomonson delivered a fully loaded cartful of sleep mats hand-crocheted by a number of club women to The Well, an organization which serves the homeless in Tampa. These mats are made from recycled plastic grocery bags and can easily be rolled up and carried, while serving as a waterproof barrier for those in need. Ms. Solomonson brought this project to the woman’s club a number of years ago and has taught members and mentored other clubs in this project of dual purposes: helping the homeless and keeping these plastic bags out of our landfills.
