LA COMMUNITY GARDEN By Lynn Davis and Karen McLemore Lake Ashton Community Garden wraps up a season of growth and celebrated a vibrant fall filled with learning, planting, and community spirit. November kicked off with an engaging AdventHealth presentation at the Clubhouse, where Dr. Shiva Seetahal shared valuable insights on healthy eating and wellness. The Garden’s table was a highlight, offering handmade candles, decorative rosemary pots, and botanical and wildlife notecards that inspired lively conversations and support for future projects. Later in the month, members gathered for a cheerful Plant Party, adding new seedlings and lettuce to the beds—a day rich with laughter, teamwork, and fresh beginnings. Looking ahead, new members who join now enjoy November and December free, with annual membership beginning in January. Renewal details for existing members will be shared soon, with exciting updates on the way. Lake Ashton continues to grow—one seed, and one friendship, at a time.

MAGIC YEARS CLUB By Lynne Judd The Magic Years Club, a group of LA residents who enjoy learning about and sharing experiences about Walt Disney World, meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7 pm in the HFC Craft Room. We welcome anyone who has an interest in all things Disney! In November the Club members met and discussed changes at Disney World: attractions that are now closed, either permanently or for refurbishment, as well as upcoming closures. We also talked about new rides and shows and potential opening dates. And of course we had our monthly trivia quiz, which seems to be enjoyed by all. We will not be having a monthly meeting in December, so our next scheduled meeting is on Monday, January 12th, as always at 7 pm in the HFC Craft Room. For questions, call Lynne Judd at 631-987-3230 LA TRAVELERS SPREADING JOY By Carolyn. Bishop The Lake Ashton Travelers, a chapter of the Family RV Association, participated in the National Day of Kindness by painting rocks with encouraging, kind messages on them. We then hid them all around the Waterside RV Resort while we were on a rally with our fellow LA Travelers. We hope we spread some joy amongst our fellow campers. The LA Travelers will be having their annual Club Holiday Celebration at the HFC on Sunday, December 9 at 5 pm. “The Jingle Bell Jamboree” promises to be a fabulously fun time!
