GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB held its annual Flea Fashion Show featuring haute couture fashions culled from donations to their Flea Market. Attendance was at a record high and the room was filled to overflowing for this fun event. Eight member models strutted their stuff, which was auctioned to benefit and support the many charities and projects of the Woman’s Club.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB recently made a generous donation to Support The Troops in Wesley Chapel. Chairwoman Dee Knerr presented the Director with a club check to help with postage costs in mailing packages of needed items to military troops stationed abroad. Ms. Knerr, Ms. Finn and a number other club members volunteer many hours each year to this organization and its mission.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB supported women’s cardiac health and promoted education of the warning signs of heart attacks and strokes at its recent meeting. The club women turned out in red for each of its February meetings and gatherings to symbolize awareness of this serious health issue and most particularly for women.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is in deep mourning over the recent passing of Marilyn Wannamaker, their beloved former President, who served 2 separate terms in office. Marilyn, a longtime Lutz resident, had for the past two decades devoted herself to community service most particularly through the Woman’s Club, serving in nearly every office and in every capacity. She was always a tower of strength, the backbone of the club and a pillar of the community. Marilyn was also deeply involved in the historic Old Lutz School, the former Lutz Volunteer Fire Department and, perhaps most dear to her heart, served as longtime advisor to the Little Women of Lutz, the teen service club, sponsored and mentored by the Woman’s Club.
Marilyn had always chosen angels as her theme and as a symbol of her deep faith. We feel certain that she is truly at peace now in the arms of angels. Ms. Wannamaker is survived by her two beloved sons, Mark Peterson (wife, Val) and Scott Peterson.

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members regularly volunteer at the Wesley Chapel warehouse of the “Support the Troops” and work to pack many boxes of needed items to be shipped to military serving overseas. The club women find it very rewarding to help send goodies to those serving abroad on our behalf. The Woman’s Club has for many years supported this organization through donations and volunteer hours.
