We hope residents are enjoying the new digital display in the Lobby and the new convenient ways of signing up for events and activities. Starting this month, residents can purchase tickets to events and activities by simply clicking a link! Of course residents can still purchase tickets and sign up for free and paid activities by visiting the Activities Office. We hope this new way to sign up for free events, club activities, parties, and classes, all in one place, will be a helpful convenience for many residents. Stay tuned for classes on how to use this website. Charm City at Lake Ashton is now open with a lunch and dinner menu, full bar, and specials. "Like" their Facebook page for more information on specials. Soon other businesses will be opening up in the previous sales center and residents will have options for several services without leaving the gates of Lake Ashton. East Golf Course bridges have been pressure washed and sealed with several boards being replaced soon. The Clubhouse Outdoor Pool and Spa is nearly complete (at time of publication). This extensive refurbishment project included replacement of all tile in the pool/spa and coping tiles on the edge of the pool/spa, resurfacing the pool/spa, replacing all grates and several lights, and installing an additional handrail at the east and west entrance to the pool to assist those with limited mobility. In addition, staff painted all furniture, repaired column caps along the fence, cleaned perimeter lights, replaced the pool and spa rules signs, and added additional umbrellas and plants to refresh that area. Staff has also replaced the water/ice machine in the Fitness Center vestibule with a chilled, filtered, water fountain/bottle filling station, refurbished the Shuffleboard Court area by replacing lights, adding an outdoor bulletin board, painting and replacing gutters in addition to pressure washing the curbing and gutters in front of the Clubhouse. Needless to say our Facility staff has been busy! We are fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented team. At the Joint Board of Supervisors meeting held on July 21 Supervisors discussed several potential changes to the Joint Amenity Facilities Policies. Residents are encouraged to email any suggestions to the Community Directors (info on page 3). Options for entry gate access were discussed and both boards agreed to evaluate the information further at their respective August meetings and will make a decision soon. At the July Board of Supervisors meeting several projects were approved. Soon residents will see progress towards the switching of the Card Room and Media Center spaces. Four new gate operators were approved to be installed at the Thompson Nursery Road entrance. Two treadmills were approved for purchase and Supervisors decided to award the Fitness Center preventative maintenance contract to Fitness Machine Technicians. Supervisors are continuing to discuss the 2024 budget and all residents are encouraged to attend meetings and give feedback. The 2024 fiscal year budget will be adopted at the next meeting on August 21 at 9:30 am. 6
