GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members have individually continued a regular stream of food and clothing donations supplied to St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry in Land O’Lakes. The clubwoman, despite restrictions due to corona-19, have continued their service to the community through many their numerous continuing projects.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB has collected many gently used shoes to be donated to “Soles4Souls”. Even during Covid-19, Member Sandi Marrow, Chair of the club Conservation Committee, has collected and delivered wagonloads of cartons to DSW, a local collection point, to be forwarded to the “Soles” organization, which provides opportunity to those in impoverished countries. The shoes are distributed to the needy, helps prevents injury and illness and adds personal dignity, as well as keeping these items out of landfills. These simple donations help to save the planet and change lives for people in these countries.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB President Annette Bellingar joined the group of Little Women of Lutz and helped with their recent semi-annual roadway cleanup of their dedicated roadway: Lutz-Lake Fern Road, as part of the “Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful” county-wide project. The Woman’s Club often collaborates with and supports its sponsored Juniorette group, Little Women of Lutz, in many projects as well as guiding and mentoring the girls in leadership and community service.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is keeping up its momentum and continuing to help the community in numerous ways despite being under corona-19 limitations. Member Lori Zublena has donated 2 SUVs filled to the brim with beautiful infant toys, equipment, clothing, etc., (all of which has been outgrown by her baby granddaughter) to Guiding Star Center in Lutz. Member Jeannie Sheets volunteers with this organization which provides pregnancy and parenting support and well-women resources to the community and has brought their needs to the attention of the Woman’s Club. Ms. Sheets has delivered a good amount of donations to this group and continues to collect items from club members.
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club is celebrating Independence Day differently this year due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of its famous Lutz 4th of July Celebration.
On July 4th, members will display their new holiday banner at the Historic Old Lutz School and wave flags while being safely distanced.
The Woman’s Club wishes everyone a safe and well-distanced holiday on this very different 4th of July.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!
