CLUBS LAKE ASHTON FRIENDS OF MEALS ON WHEELS By Marcia Santino Meals on Wheels of Polk County (“MOWPolk”) is headquartered in Winter Haven. It delivers the nutritious meals, friendly visits, and safety checks that enable over 600 homebound seniors and adults with disabilities throughout the county to live nourished lives with independence and dignity. For many, the driver who shows up with a meal and a smile is the only person they see or speak with all day. This special delivery is the reason to get up in the morning and something to look forward to. MOWPolk is a non-profit organization with no state or federal funding. It relies on community-based charity, volunteers and proceeds from its thrift store sales. Many Lake Ashton residents volunteer for MOWPolk in one form or another. Even more generously support this deserving organization through monetary donation. Most importantly, some receive meal services. If you are civic-minded and have a few hours available each month, you are invited to join a new club forming in conjunction with MOWPolk. The mission of the club will be to promote MOWPolk in fun, interactive ways within Lake Ashton throughout the year. To become a member or for more information, please email lafomow@gmail.com SINGLES CLUB By Carol Corley If you are in Lake Ashton on your own, you might consider looking into the Singles Club. A good way to find out about us would be to come to one of our monthly meetings — the next meeting will be Sunday, February 4 at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. The January meeting had a good turnout, and after the meeting we played cards and games until 4, then went out to dinner (locations vary). We do other activities together, also, like occasionally going to Theatre Winter Haven, out to dinner, or sitting together at club parties and dances. We also have a get-together at the Pavilion on the Third Thursday of most months. We share appetizers and bring something to drink. So please consider coming to our monthly meeting. If that date doesn’t work for you, we also play cards every Sunday at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. If that room is in use, we have the Card Room. Once cards are finished at 4., we go out for dinner. CAMERA CLUB By Larry Hillock The Lake Ashton Camera Club will be meeting on Monday, February 12 in the Cinema at 10:30 am. At the January meeting we enjoyed a presentation by guest speaker Reinier Munguia on landscape photography. This month the topic will be utilizing photographs to create greeting cards presented by Pam Klawinski. Members will also share photographs with the group to discuss and enjoy. Remember to bring your photos on a USB drive. The club is open to all LA residents that enjoy photography.
