Karin D’Amico Donates Items in Casa Aberque de Martina, Dominican Republic

GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB President Karin D’Amico was very busy volunteering during her recent GFWC Florida Caribbean Cruise. Ms. D’Amico toured Casa Aberque de Martina in the Dominican Republic and Hogar Rafaela Ybarra Girls’ Shelter in San Juan, Pueto Rico. She brought with her suitcases and backpacks filled with school supplies and other fun items donated by club members to distribute to the needy girls in both facilities. Needless to say, Ms. D’Amico was met by the little girls who showed with big smiles and open arms how very grateful they were for the generosity of the Woman’s Club gifts.

Sock Puppy Puppets to be Sold at the Annual DogFest

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members recently enjoyed a day of crafting a large litter sock puppy puppets which are to be sold at the annual DogFest. Funds are raised each year toward the purchase of these very expensive puppies to be trained over a 2 year period as hard-working assistance dogs for the disabled. The Woman’s Club has supported Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) for a number of years and considers it a most worthy charity.
