CLUBS BOLLA By Pat Neaves Looking for an activity that is fun, no skill required, and helps children? Come to the Clubhouse Craft Room any Monday from 1 to 3 pm. The group will be tying knots while enjoying lots of laughter. For anyone that sews but can’t come on Mondays we have blankets that that can be taken home for sewing around the edges. Going on vacation? No problem! Come when you can! The group does not take a summer hiatus and will continue providing blankets wherever there are children in need of comfort in Polk County. Come and enjoy fellowship and a wonderful feeling knowing children are being helped through this project. Blankets of Love sends good wishes and safe travels to neighbors leaving Lake Ashton for the summer months. The BOLLA group would like to thank Ann Boogher for the many years she served as Treasurer. Ann was instrumental in getting the group charity status and tax exempt for the materials we buy. Anyone that knows Ann is not surprised how generous she is giving her time to help others. Like Ann, Chris Crane was Secretary for many years. In addition to taking care of all correspondence, Chris helped get blankets ready and delivered to the various locations we serve. Chris also took over the lead role during the President’s absence. These two won’t go far as they will remain BOLLA members! The group welcomed new Officers Secretary, Amity Kokochak and Treasurer, Louise Price during our annual luncheon. CAMERA CLUB By Larry Hillock The Camera Club will meet on April 11 at 10:30 am in the Clubhouse Cinema. Last month Cindy and Ed Boos provided a great presentation on the many beautiful waterfalls they visited. This month club member photos will be shared and discussed, and plans will be made for a photo shoot. Be sure to bring a few of you pictures on a USB drive to share with the group. In case you are new to Lake Ashton or haven’t yet attended a meeting, membership is open to all LA residents who share an interest in photography. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level.
