Zephyrhills Woman’s Club turns 100 By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

In the beginning, the GFWC Woman’s Club of Zephyrhills was a group of 15 women, who decided they wanted to form a civic club. They established the club on Nov. 11, 1915 and voted to join the Florida Federation of Woman’s Clubs, automatically making them part of the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs, a national organization. On Nov. 15, about 90 people gathered at the Zephyrhills’ woman’s club’s stone building to celebrate a century of service. Service continues to be the mission of the club, said current club President Linda Weyer. “The GFWC in and of itself is responsible for a lot of beautification of streets, for public libraries, the National Park system, the

Everglades. The Everglades would not be the Everglades National Park without the GFWC,” Weyer said. “And, in Zephyrhills, we help with all of the local charities, especially relating to children. “We help Everyday Blessings, the Pregnancy Care Center,” she said. “We’re working with Thomas Promise this year, to make sure the children, that are poor in the schools, get backpacks with food to take home for the weekends,” she added. “We do help sponsor a second-grade classroom at West Zephyrhills Elementary School. And, every year, we collect school supplies in August and take them over to West Zephyrhills Elementary, and let the liaison distribute them to the children that need them. That way, they don’t get embarSee CLUB, page13A

Zephyrhills resident causing ‘Sugar Rush’ with cake pops By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

When she was a student at Zephyrhills High School, Cassie Lenz had a cake-decorating project. Over the course of the project, there was a dilemma: What to do with the extra cake? “I looked online, and I found cake pops,” Lenz said. “It was interesting to find something new.” People found them more than interesting. They found them delicious. The decorated balls of cake and frosting on a stick were a hit, and she would make them for friends and bring them to parties. Now 23, and a student at the University of South Florida, Lenz made 200 cake pops in a variety of flavors for a friend’s wedding earlier this year. They were so popular the bride and groom didn’t even get to try any of them. Lenz has received a lot of praise for her cake pops. Now, she has a business. Sugar Rush operates out of the kitchen Lenz shares with her family, though they know not to interfere when she’s working. In just a couple of hours, she can make about 40 cake pops out of a single cake. Adding different styles takes more time, but provides a lot of variety in the desserts: chocolate cake, red velvet cake, marshmallows and funfetti are just some of the cake pop options.
