LACDD NEWS By Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director There is a lot of talent at Lake Ashton! Take a look at additional winners of the 2023 Fine Arts and Photography Show displayed in the Clubhouse main hallway during the entire month of February. Save the date for the 2024 Fine Arts and Photography Show on March 9. February is full of a multitude of opportunities to meet new neighbors and create lasting relationships. Lake Ashton is fortunate to have two facilities to offer a plethora of entertainment and educational opportunities designed to maintain an active, engaging lifestyle. Don't forget to take a look at pages 22 - 34 in addition to the calendar inserts for information on the current activities, events, and classes at the Clubhouse and Health and Fitness Center (HFC). The Lake Ashton Activities Advisory Group recently welcomed two new members and continues to meet on a monthly basis, alternating between the Clubhouse and HFC, to evaluate past events and assist staff with planning future events and activities at the Clubhouse and the HFC. Suggestions for entertainment, educational classes, and activities are always welcome and are evaluated by the group at each meeting. Please reach out to Christine Wells at cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com or James Margeson at jmargeson@lakeashton2cdd.com with any suggestions for programming or constructive feedback on past events and activities. There was a Joint Board of Supervisors meeting on January 19. Supervisors approved of the revised Joint Amenity Facilities Policies and a final version can be found on lakeashtoncdd.com or lakeashton2cdd.com under "Additional District Documents".
