GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members have again spent hours over the summer sewing, stuffing and delivering “comfort” pillows to area hospitals for breast cancer patients post-surgery. Over 400 hundred pillows were delivered to Moffitt Cancer Center, Hope Lodge and Florida Hospital. This summer new member Barbara Booth (in 3rd photo) alone sewed 290 pillows. We are especially proud and appreciative of Barbara’s generous dedication of her time and effort toward this worthwhile project.

Members Attend GFWC International Convention in St. Louis
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB sent a team of members to the recent GFWC International Convention in St. Louis. The local club women joined a large delegation of Florida clubs to share ideas of service opportunities with this international federation of dynamic women volunteering in their communities across the globe and to celebrate their success. The Woman’s Club made a donation to the ‘Rise Against Hunger’ project which feeds needy and food insecure. Hundreds of the delegates worked to package enough foodstuffs to provide 36,000 individual meals for those in need around the world through this “Rise” group.
