GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Women’s Club members donated toys, games and personal hygiene items during a fun working luncheon while filling stacks of shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse-Operation Christmas Child. The ladies, under the direction of Chair Madeline McCulloh, got an early start on their holiday giving by successfully packing and delivering over 115 gift shoeboxes which will be sent before Christmas to needy children in this country as well as abroad.
GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB chairperson, Madeline McCulloh, was recently tasked with counting and sorting an enormous donation of eyewear to be distributed via the Lion’s Club to Third World countries. Ms. McCulloh arrived at a total of 322 eyeglasses, 83 sunglasses and 147 eye glass cases from this single donation which doesn’t even include the club’s normal collection. The Woman’s Club has long supported the Lion’s Club through it’s International Outreach Program.
