LA SINGLES CLUB By Carol Corley The Lake Ashton Singles Club had a good meeting in November and made plans for the future. The group will have a new leader in 2026, and we will be learning more about that at the December meeting. Our current much appreciated leader, who started the group, is choosing to step down. Currently we have a team, and that will likely continue with a new person at the top. We also had some new members, and we hope they will continue with us. The club firmed up plans for Christmas gifts for our Senior Orphans, elderly Polk County residents who are in need and have no family. We also discussed activities we might enjoy doing. All suggestions are welcomed. After our meeting, we played cards, Five Crown, and then went to dinner as a group. We enjoyed the return of several of our Snowbirds. Our meetings are the first Sunday of every month at 2 p.m., mostly in the Clubhouse ballroom. Every other Sunday we play cards then go to dinner as a group. All LA Single residents are welcome to join us. ADVERTISEMENT FRIENDLY BOCCE GROUP By Stephanie Iszak Mark your calendars! 2026 promises to be an exciting year for the Friendly Bocce Group! We would like to invite all Lake Ashton residents to come out on Mondays and Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm to play some fun games of Bocce Ball. No experience is required. Anyone who is playing would be more than happy to teach you our rules. Since our “Newbie Clinic” was such a huge success last year and is scheduled for Wednesdays, January 28 and February 4, 2026, from 10 am to 1 pm. This is a great opportunity to come out and learn the game. Our Friendly Bocce Tailgate parties for 2026 will be held January through the end of April from 4 to 6 pm on the first and third Fridays of the month. Bring your drinks (non-alcoholic) and an appetizer to share. This is a great opportunity to socialize and play some games. (Continued on p. 32)
