LAIICDD NEWS BY MAR Y BOSMAN, LAIICDD COMMUNIT Y DIREC T OR You will hear the words “herd immunity” frequently in the next few months. This relates of course, to the people that have received both of their vaccines for COVID – 19. Florida has lowered the age requirement to 60 plus at the time of this writing. We’re excited to be looking at a potential July full open for the HFC, but the LA II CDD is committed to resident safety, so will do so cautiously. Get your scheduling requests in if you are wanting to plan a party this summer or an ongoing activity reservation. Of course, staff is planning a great herd party for all of Lake Ashton residents. April is the month for giving special thanks to our volunteers. Lake Ashton is fortunate to have many great folks who give of their time and efforts. The LA II CDD Board of Supervisors are elected and can legally choose to be compensated, but they donate their time and efforts instead. HOA and ARC leaders serve also in a volunteer capacity. CERT, CAP, Neighborhood Watch, the Swim Team coach, chairpersons for Pickleball, Tennis, and Basketball, along with a multitude of chairpersons of the groups that meet regularly. Not to be thought of as last by any means, the HFC office volunteers and the HFC Media Center volunteers are included as well. There are so many good people at Lake Ashton, I hope I haven’t forgotten any. There’s always a kind person willing to give of their time and expertise when needed. For these wonderful people we say, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR BEING A VOLUNTEER! National Volunteer Week is April 18th through the 24th so if you see a volunteer in action, please thank them. The HFC and the Clubhouse are working together on some fun events/surprises for our volunteers. LAIICDD BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTAC T INFO By the time this publication gets out, the repairs on the HFC porte-cochère will be completed. The structure will be structurally safe, and more easily cleaned, as well as being more aesthetically pleasing. The ball finials and posts on the entrance fence are all freshly painted (all 140 plus of them!) and are looking good thanks to many hard hours of work by our HFC Maintenance team of James and Karen. Good work, team!
