LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg "Welcome Rocks" that are distributed to new residents of Lake Ashton, "Kindness Rocks" that are hidden around the community, and "Easter Rocks" that will be donated to the residents and staff of Waters Edge Nursing in Lake Wales, have lately been the focus of the group’s painting. Sue Pieper, the LA Rocker who is in charge of the Waters Edge project, recently wrote a wonderful description of the group on TOLA: "We are the LA Rockers. We are a group that has a passion for painting, friendship and spreading kindness throughout the community. Our Spring kindness project is Waters Edge a senior living home in Lake Wales. Our goal is to paint 210 rocks so that each resident and worker can have one. ... [And,] if you find a rock in the community know that someone has made it with love hoping to put a smile on your face.” Well put! With the lull in Omicron cases, LA Rockers are once again meeting in person in the HFC Community Center on alternate Wednesdays (April 6 and 20 this month) from 2 to 4 pm. Spend an afternoon with a great group of people and learn to paint rocks! Don't worry if you can't draw or have never painted - you don't need to draw or paint. Simply add background color to a small rock and write a message on it then hide it for someone else to find -- and voila, you are an LA Rocker. Best of all, it does not cost anything to try since you will be lent the supplies you will need for your first meeting. Join the Facebook group "LA R o c k e r s " o r c o n t a c t M J R i c h a r d s (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) or Alice Mayer (aamayer1@gmail.com) to let them know you are coming. If we have to cancel our meeting at the last minute, we will post the cancellation on our LA Rockers Facebook page. If in doubt, check before you come.
