GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members, under the leadership of Chair Linda Mitchell, assembled 125 goodie bags filled with snacks and treats for the frontline workers serving the public at the University Mall Covid Vaccination Center. Ms. Mitchell delivered the snack bags to Nurse Corrie Pearson-Sailer (above) of Land O’Lakes, who was familiar with the Woman’s Club work and was most appreciative on behalf of all the staff.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members, Dianne Finn and Marguerite Humet, personally donated and delivered 138 NEW dog blankets to All Creatures Animal Hospital, which will in turn distribute them to local animal shelters. An additional delivery of a like amount will soon be made to other animal rescue groups. These blankets will go a long way in making the shelter dogs more comfy while awaiting adoption.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB President Annette Bellingar and member Diana Kelly attended the recent Human Trafficking Volunteer Day at Grace Family Church in Lutz. This very informative day-long One Team Tampa Bay event was attended by hundreds of volunteers with speakers and representatives from many organizations bringing awareness to this very serious problem. There were training sessions on recognizing this sad situation in our own backyards and some heartbreaking first-hand accounts from victims. This event was planned prior to the Super Bowl as it historically has been an opportunity for the traffickers to market their victims who are often underage children. Informational brochures were given to attendees to distribute to their local convenient stores, etc. to alert workers to suspicious activities with contact phone numbers were provided.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members, after a recent tour outing, stopped for lunch and were delighted to find Tom Brady in their midst.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members recently set out in the cold temperatures to tour a local Tampa nursery specializing in Florida native plants.
