LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg Time is flying by and it’s already midway through summer. Lake Ashton is very tropical and a lot of LA activities are on hiatus - but not LA Rockers! They continue to meet in the HFC Community Center on alternate Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm. Various members are sharing their skills doing a lot of "paint what you enjoy painting”. Try your hand at rock painting — newcomers are always welcome and will be lent the supplies needed for the first meeting. It really doesn't matter if you can draw or paint. Even something as simple as painting the background and writing an encouraging word on a rock is guaranteed to bring a smile to someone's face. If you are here and want to enjoy a lovely afternoon with a great group of people, please join the meetings August 10 and 24. In order to attend, join the Facebook group "LA Rockers" or contact either MJ Richards (mjmr i chards517@gma i l . com) or Connie Strassberg (cbs1949@aol.com). If meetings are canceled at the last minute, it will be posted on the LA Rockers Facebook group page. If in doubt, check before you come. Please continue sending prayers for Alice Mayer's recovery. SINGLES CLUB By Maureen Ziegler orphans. The Single Mingle held on the third Thursday of the month in the Pavilion will be moved during the remaining hot months. Carol Corley will work with Clubhouse Staff to find another location during the warm months. If you would like to take part in activities with other singles, attend the meeting on August 7.

He previously swam to Daytona Beach and back. That sure is a lot of laps in our indoor pool. Chip and others keep track of their laps on a chart that is in the locker room hallway. Others are welcome to add their name (or nickname) and keep track. It's great motivation to stick with fitness swimming and fun to do with friends. Did you know some LASC members ride their bikes to their workouts? Almost everyday, one of the early birds (those who are in the water at HFC opening), Sharon Swanson, rides her bike to the HFC, does a water workout, and rides home. Welcome to new members Gena Thornburg & Janet Mutz. We are excited to have you join us! LA Singles is a social group that plans activities for single residents. The group meets monthly on the first Sunday of the month at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. In July, the group discussed several outings and get togethers. Plans were discussed for dinners and lunches during July. The group collected and wrapped gifts for five senior UPCOMING: So far four members are aiming for a Regional Senior Games swim meet in Gainesville in September. Some are also aiming for one in October in Sebring and for the annual Polk County meet in February. Most Senior Games meets have not been held for the past two years due to COVID, so some swimmers are anxious to get back into the routine and aim for Regional, State championships, and possibly the Nationals. To go to the state meet, one has to qualify at a regional meet. Senior competition is divided into two genders, 10 age groups, and 14 swim events. THANK YOU to the LA Garden Club for their additional efforts to beautify the inside and outside of the HFC pool and grounds. It looks great!
