Standing Strong vs. Domestic Violence

GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members recently made a strong statement against Domestic Violence by sporting bright purple nail polish on their ring fingers (with a direct line to the heart). This very active community service organization has sponsored many fundraiser events for safe haven shelters over the years as well as presenting awareness programs to bring forth the important discussion of prevention of Domestic Violence Against Women and Children. The Woman’s Club stands firmly against Domestic Violence and will continue to promote its prevention through education and community awareness.
