LACDD NEWS By Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director It's the most wonderful time of the year at Lake Ashton. Enjoy time with friends and family while basking in the beautiful Florida sun this holiday season. The community entrance and Clubhouse are decked out with lights and holiday décor to add to the festivity of the season. There are several activities scheduled to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, such as the Christmas Dinner Dance, Holidays Around the World, the Annual Holiday Parade and a New Year's Eve Masquerade Ball in the Ballroom. Some of the most rewarding community holiday traditions involve volunteering and giving to those in need. Think about donating to a local charity (there are several 501 c(3) charities in Lake Ashton), dropping off a gift to the Caring Tree, volunteering your time at a local food bank, or helping out a friend or neighbor in need. While it is the traditional season for celebrating, some in the community are in emotional pain and struggling to get through the month. Grieving friends and neighbors can use some extra care during the holidays. Those who have recently lost loved ones can be helped by others being supportive and inclusive. Suggestions from hospice professionals: invite a neighbor along to a community celebration, ask if they are interested in volunteering, offer to help with decorating or baking, send a special holiday card, or be willing to listen. Lake Ashton is known for being a caring community and there is no better time of year to care for thy neighbor. The LACDD Board of Supervisors met on November 15 and approved the purchase of a new security golf cart, the recovering of the Restaurant awning with a waterproof vinyl awning, and a one-time vegetation clean-up of an area near hole number 5, bordering Lake Ashton, on the East Golf Course. A wrap up report was sent out on November 17 via email. Residents that did not receive this information email cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com to request a copy. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on December 20 at 9:30 am in the Clubhouse Ballroom. Residents are encouraged to attend. Meeting agendas and minutes are posted on lakeashtoncdd.com.
