Woman’s club grateful for support

LAND O’ LAKES – The GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community for their generous support and success of our annual flea market through the many donations received. While members have been busy collecting items for the upcoming event, the funds raised will help support numerous community projects benefiting local schools, libraries, veterans, homeless outreach programs and domestic violence shelters. The club was also honored to have the Guv’na of Lutz, Becky Jenkins, join members to kick off their first sale and add to the excitement of the flea market. Also on March 4, members took a moment to celebrate the club’s 66th birthday with food and friendship at Chili’s Grill & Bar.
