The clubwomen have long supported the fire and EMT first responders of their community and wished to show their deep appreciation for the dedication and very difficult work of our local heroes.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members turned out in force to commemorate this most solemn and poignant 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on our country – on US. The club women formed a long queue of wavers to remind those in the heavy traffic and passers-by along SR 41 in Lutz to “NEVER FORGET”. The women were met with hearty responses from car horns, 18-wheeler airhorn blasts and even Sheriff’s motorcycle sirens in support. Every year since the 1st anniversary in 2002, the club members have made a visible presence to remind the community that we are “all in this together”.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members gathered and formed an assembly line production as they put together gift baskets filled with snacks, fruit and other treats to be delivered to first responders at each local station in the Lutz and Land O’Lakes area. The women are preparing and delivering these baskets in advance of their very special commemoration of the 20th anniversary of 9/11/2001.
The club members will have a large group of flag wavers present along SR 41 in front of the Old Lutz School on 9/11 which they have done each and every year since 2001.
