GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB has chosen Pat Wagner as its “Clubwoman of the Year” and has honored her with a commemorative plaque at the recent Christmas luncheon. Ms. Wagner, a retired educator, has worked on behalf of the club Education Committee and now serves as its chair. Knowing firsthand of school budget constraints, Ms. Wagner has reached out to our communities’ neediest schools to determine how the Woman’s Club can best assist teachers and students with donated classroom supplies, backpacks, student school supplies and clothing. In addition, under Pat Wagner’s leadership, the club has provided and delivered a bountiful Christmas to more than 13 area student families in need.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is very pleased to announce the installation of a whopping 17 new members at their recent Christmas luncheon celebration. The Class of 2017 is the largest group of new members the club has ever welcomed into its fold and will promptly put them to work in this very active community service organization.
