GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is proud of the success of it’s recent “BOW WOW BINGO” Fundraiser held in memory of its late former President Edwina R. Kraemer. Ms. Kraemer had spearheaded this event for years and her Co-Chair Nancy Fisher picked up the gauntlet to produce a larger-than-ever event. The Woman’s Club is so pleased that many GFWC members, church and community groups joined them to honor Edwina’s memory and contribute to her favorite cause: Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is in mourning over the recent passing of its past President Edwina R. Kraemer. Mrs. Kraemer is well-known throughout the community as a long-time educator, a church woman in her beloved (Fabulous) First Methodist Church of Lutz, and as a very active club member/officer serving the Lutz-Land O’Lakes communities and well beyond. Edwina Kraemer is most remembered for her laser-like commitment to fundraising on behalf of her beloved Canine Companions for Independence. She was very successful in raising thousands of dollars on behalf of this charity and received a WEDU Community Service Award this past spring. Most importantly, Edwina was a loving and devoted wife to David Kraemer surviving her, mother to her most beloved son, S. Keith Vickery, his wife Pam and dear granddaughter, Gwen.

The Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club will long remember Edwina for her strong work ethic, organizational skills and commitment to service as well as her quiet and dignified demeanor. The Woman’s Club will celebrate her life with the upcoming annual “Bow Wow” fundraiser event which she had long conducted, however this time and henceforth, it will be named “In Honor of Edwina R. Kraemer”….. We thank you, Edwina, for all you’ve contributed to the Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club and the community over your many years of service. We will miss you, our dear friend and club sister.

GFWC LITTLE WOMEN OF LUTZ members, with guidance from their GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club Advisors, recently prepared and served a lovely luncheon for the Woman’s Club. This luncheon was a fundraiser in order to raise the necessary funds to send one or more of their teen members to the annual Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Training Seminar (HOBE). This leadership training has proven to be very successful in providing young people with valuable tools to lead in their schools, church groups and communities. For information on meetings and membership opportunities with this volunteer group of young teens, please contact Advisor Jane Mason at 765-617-7575.

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.
