GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members Nancy Swanton and Joan DeCapua “planted” a garden of bright blue pinwheels at the historic Old Lutz School in order to bring attention to the universal problem of child abuse, particularly during this difficult pandemic year. Members also purchased pinwheels to display at their own homes in support of bringing awareness to this serious issue. These pinwheels are also on display at local firehouses and libraries.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB stops at nothing to get the job done!  Members Nancy Swanton and Joan DeCapua were en route delivering donated clothing and other items to Sunrise Domestic Violence Shelter when something went wrong with their vehicle.  Not to be deterred, Nancy didn’t hesitate to climb under her SUV and make emergency repairs with a trusty roll of duct tape.  Problem solved temporarily as they continued to their destination and completed the task.

 

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members shared the aftermath of their recent flea market with at least 15 local not-for-profit organizations.  Member Sandi Marrow loaded her SUV with very desirable clothing and accessories and delivered it to AmVets.  The club was happy to distribute many carloads of household goods and clothing to numerous other needy groups such as nursing homes and shelters.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members gathered to craft cute bumble bee bottles from recycled water bottles to be distributed to children at the Earth Day Celebration at Crews Lake Park in Land O’Lakes.  The clubwoman always assist children in crafts at this annual event to raise their awareness of the importance of conservation and saving the environment. 

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB enjoyed a very successful Flea Market with beautiful weather and great crowds of customers last weekend. The clubwomen had to downsize their very popular huge flea market due to pandemic restrictions but were very pleased with the results of this “mini” version. The proceeds will benefit the club scholarship fund and other projects in the community.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB hasn’t gone idle during this pandemic year+.  The ladies pursued even more than their usual full portfolio of projects because the need has been so great.  Ms. Sincich delivered enough “snuggle buddy” bundles for an entire 1^st grade class at Miles Elementary, each containing 2 books, a flashlight and a snuggly blanket as well as a trunkful of donated clothing and supplies to the school.  Karen Molis and other club members have completed more sleep mat/bedrolls to be delivered to the local homeless population.  Smile Bags have been crafted and filled with hygiene items and some fun items for 24 children recovering from oral and facial surgery under the “Operation Smile” program.
