GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club recently honored two members who celebrated their 25th Anniversary of service to the club and presented them with a commemorative pin. Faith Sincich has held positions and offices, too numerous to mention within the club and Lucy Kraemer has maintained dual memberships in the Gainesville and Hawthorne Woman’s Clubs as well as Lutz-Land O’Lakes. Between them, the two ladies have served over a half century in the largest Federation of Women’s service clubs in the country.

Woman’s Club and Little Women Decorate Club Trees

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members collaborated with their Little Women of Lutz, each group decorating their respective club trees at the Historic Old Lutz School Annual Christmas display. This very festive community event takes place each December with a Christmas Wonderland of lights, decorations, trains, trees, villages festooning every nook and cranny of this old schoolhouse along with Santa and various choral and musical groups providing entertainment.
