Some of our big winners with their entries!!!
2017 Support The Troops
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB members meet regularly to pack boxes of needed hygiene items and treats for our troops serving abroad at the Wesley Chapel warehouse of “Support The Troops”. These clubwomen recently delivered the packages stacked beside them with club-donated funds for postage to send off much appreciated gift boxes.
2016 Clubwoman of the Year
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club has announced its choice of “Club Woman of the Year” – Lois Cohen of Land O’Lakes, who chairs the club Arts & Crafts Committee, co-chaired the Lutz Arts & Crafts Show, serves on the Board of Directors as well as on many other club committees and projects. Ms. Cohen was honored at a recent luncheon and presented with a commemorative plaque.
Lutz Community Turns Out to Honor Phyllis Hoedt
GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lake Woman’s Club members joined the Citizens for the Old Lutz School and Lutz Civic Association groups in honoring longtime community volunteer, Phyllis Hoedt, on her birthday with a large celebration held at the historic Old Lutz School which was brilliantly lighted and decorated for its annual Christmas displays. Mrs. Hoedt has for many decades served the Woman’s Club, the Old Lutz School, her church and everything “Lutz”. She is the backbone of the community and tireless in her support of every local event. We salute you, Phyllis Hoedt, and wish you many more birthdays to come.
Wreath Laying at Bushnell
A group of our club members attended a very moving ceremony. Thousands of the public attended the ceremony where we heard from Veterans from the wars. It was quite awe-inspiring to us and we all felt lucky to be able to attend. We even stood in line with members of the GFWC Dade City Woman’s Club for the wreaths! We then all ate lunch together, enjoying more fellowship.
Elaine Pittman has again donated $1,000 to Christian Social Services in Land O’Lakes
Longtime GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club member, Elaine Pittman, has again donated $1,000 to Christian Social Services in Land O’Lakes to bolster their holiday giving for the area’s needy and homeless population. Ms. Pittman, a/k/a “The Plant Lady”, has for many years, grown, potted and sold plants at every Woman’s Club meeting, event and other venues in the community and donated these funds in a lump sum each year at Christmas time. Her plant work requires a great deal of physical labor as well as frequently loading her van with plants and setting up a tent at various sales.
