GFWC LUTZ LAND O’ LAKES PARTICIPATES IN WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes club members Annette Bellingar, Deb Cardona and Dee Knerr participated in the Wreaths Across America ceremony at the Veterans Cemetery on Kennedy Blvd in Tampa on December 14th. Every tombstone had a wreath placed against it, which was a beautiful sight. The ceremony that followed reminded us all of the past and present cost of freedom to all of us so lucky to live in this great country.
