In other local news, the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club recently held its annual flea market, which drew strong community support. The event, fueled by donations from local residents, raised funds for various community projects, including programs benefiting local schools, libraries, veterans, homeless outreach, domestic violence shelters, and other causes. Becky Jenkins, the honorary “Guv’na” of Lutz, helped kick off the sale. The club also celebrated its 66th anniversary on March 4 at Chili’s Grill & Bar.
Additionally, Alexandra Romano, a junior at Land O’ Lakes High School, has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in June at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
