GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members met to prepare little gift bags of sweet treats and handmade Valentine greetings for the homebound and seniors served by Meals on Wheels of Tampa Bay.
The ladies worked assembly line-style to package chocolates and decorated Valentines to bring cheer to these clients who need assistance.
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. The Woman’s Club is cheering for its Hometown Team and Tom Brady, a/k/a G.O.A.T., to lead the BUCS to victory at Super Bowl on Sunday. We are LOUD and PROUD……GO BUCS!!!!
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. The gals were particularly interested in learning from experts about those plants which will attract butterflies in their proposed garden at a camp for autistic children, which is in the planning stages.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB showed their appreciation to the staff members of both the Lutz and Land O’Lakes Library. Education Chair Faith Sincich delivered gifts of poinsettias and other items to both libraries as tokens of their support and appreciation for continuing to provide services under very difficult conditions during Covid-19. Both libraries managed to keep our community well-stocked with reading material and other help during this difficult year.
