GIVING TUESDAY There is so much to be thankful for and so many blessings to count! In the spirit of Giving Tuesday on December 2, consider giving to the many organizations supported by Lake Ashton Clubs, as identified in this edition of the LA Times. Giving doesn't always involve money or tangible items. The gift of time is often the most valuable. HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE For the month of December, non-perishable food donations will be accepted all month long to be donated to the Lake Wales Care Center and the Mission of Winter Haven. Please drop off donations to the Ballroom Kitchen in the Clubhouse CARING TREE It's that time of year again. The Caring Tree is up and open for business. Please feel free to take one, two or as many as you want to provide Christmas presents to The Care Center clients. Make sure they are new and not wrapped and under the tree so we can deliver them before the Big Day. The deadline is December 22. HOMELESS GRADUAT ING SENIORS It is hard to believe we are fast approaching 2026. Seems we are ushering in a year of many changes, but one constant seems to be the number of homeless. We will have approximately 120 to 130 homeless seniors this year with about 20% that are not only homeless but have no family. Many ask me, ‘where do they stay?’ The answer is shelters, friends and sadly the street. But they are succeeding with good grades and college prospects. That is why your support is so important! With your help we will supply them with a duffel bag containing domestic items, a laptop for their hopeful future education and hopefully some scholarships. Any donations or domestic items can be left at either Activities Desk or contact Doris Reisinger at 217-652-6636 to arrange pickup. She will also be at Monday Coffees starting in January. LALGA WE CARE FOR KIDS TOY DRIVE The annual We Care for Kids Toy Drive is December 2 through 12. Toys are collected to bring some joy to the lives of needy tots through teens across Polk County. Drop off your new unwrapped toys/gifts at the Pro Shop.
