DUPLICATE BRIDGE By Don Fuller & Liz Leigh Duplicate bridge is played on Monday at 12:45 pm in the Clubhouse Card Room. The game is open to all residents regardless of skill level.

Thanks for sharing your finds for all to enjoy. We purchase rocks and paint supplies, and then use our time to write messages and create the rocks to spread the kindness and to bring a smile to all of you. Our purpose is to cultivate connections within our community and lift others up through a simple act of kindness. One message at just the right moment can changes someone’s entire day, outlook, life. Our group meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at the HFC from 1 to 3 pm. For the summer, we have suspended teaching classes and orientations for new members, but will resume in the fall. Meanwhile, we are busily painting together in what we call “freepaint”, where we get together for the camaraderie and to learn from each other. If you are interested in joining our group, check out the September article in the LA Times for more details! If you are lucky enough to find a rock, please post a photo of your rock on Talk of Lake Ashton’s (TOLA) Facebook page. It means a lot for us to see where our rocks go. SINGLES CLUB By Carol Corley Some older Polk County residents are having an extra Christmas this year — Christmas in July, thanks to the Lake Ashton Singles’ Club. Members donated money or purchased items on a wish list for older Polk County residents who have no family and who are financially unable to buy for themselves. Many of the Christmas in July gifts were simple things that they have a hard time buying for themselves — like dog food, pajamas, shower rail. Lake Ashton residents who are alone are most welcome to join our fun group. We have a short meeting the first Sunday of every month at 2 p.m. and the Clubhouse, followed by cards, and we meet every other Sunday, same place same time, for cards. That usually lasts until about 4 p.m., after which most of us go out for dinner together. Come check us out.
