GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB recently honored outgoing President Karin D’Amico and celebrated her term of office with a lovely flamingo-themed high tea. The club members enjoyed outdoing one another with their flamingo outfits, hats and accoutrements while happily “flamingling”. Ms. D’Amico was presented with a lovely diamond dachshund pendant by the club commemorating her great love of the breed and her work with dachshund rescue. Congratulations and Well Done, Karin!

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB hosted a very successful fundraiser luncheon/game day to benefit Sunrise of Pasco County Domestic Violence Shelter. The venue was awash in members wearing purple clothing, manicures AND hair, as well as table decorations, all to support the designated color of Domestic & Sexual Violence. The clubwomen were pleased to donate $900, plus enough handbags and totes filled with various “wish list” items needed by the residents to fill an entire SUV plus a car.
