Record Breaking Clothing Swap To Start The New Year

This year’s first clothing swap was held at the Land O’Lakes library, and was a major success! With heavier foot traffic and public awareness of the free clothing exchange, the club collected well over a thousand pieces of clothing. A majority of the items were donated to Sunrise of Pasco, our local domestic abuse shelter and resource center. Volunteers from a local Faith in Action team collected many of the men’s clothing items and blankets for the local homeless individuals in Pasco. And, one of our members collected several formal wear items that will be donated to the Cinderella and Prince Charming Project of Pasco.


Our efforts were reported in the Tampa Beacon Newspaper. Check It Out!

The next clothing swap will be held at the Land O’Lakes Library sometime in late spring. Follow our Facebook page for dates to come!

New Year, New Project

Arts and Culture have always been a main pillar of the General Federation Of Women’s Clubs. The Pasco Juniors decided to participate in an international project that has really excelled since 2020. 

Mural Mosaics offers the opportunity to make something unique and be part of the “bigger picture”. The magnificently enormous murals are painted by individual across the nation, and then digitally, precisely placed into a final installment that is on permanent display. Its concept has flourished outside of its original Canadian roots, and become an international project, bring people from all walks of life together in one beautiful piece of artwork.



 


The members of the Pasco Juniors got together to enjoy each other's company and get creative with their chosen color scheme canvases. Members of all skill levels participated and will be part of a national display. The project was shared with other woman’s clubs in our district to encourage additional participation in this ongoing program.

Breakfast With Santa For A Great Cause

 
The Pasco Juniors had a great end to 2023. With a successful Breakfast with Santa Fundraiser, the club was able to sponsor 4 children I need from a local title 1 school along with several additional angels chosen from individual members. In addition, the club was able to make a $300 donation to the Sean Bartell Memorial Foundation which supports Wesley Chapel High School graduating seniors with scholarships.
