LAVA AUXILIARY By Chris Graves LAVA AUXILIARY MEETING: All residents are invited to attend the January 18 LAVA Auxiliary Meeting at 6:30 pm near the Clubhouse stage. This is a group of residents that support our military and have fun doing so. A few things that the group does: CRAFT SHOW: The October Craft Show was a tremendous success. A total of $6000 was raised for two veterans charities; $3000 was donated to the Canine Group and $3000 was donated to the Equestrienne Group. Both of these charities work with the veterans. CRAFT SHOW 2023 APPLICATIONS are now being accepted for the October 2023 Craft Show. Applications should be picked up from Sheila at the Clubhouse. Once the event is sold out for crafters, you will be placed on a wait list. MR. LAKE ASHTON – SAVE THE DATE – APRIL 15: This event is a crowd pleaser and has been sold out in the past. It is a fun-filled evening and a few good men are needed to be contestants. Lots of smiles will be seen at this event by both the audience and the contestants. More info to come. GENEALOGY CLUB MEETING By Jane Imparl Come join your fellow Lake Ashtonians for a fun and lively discussion of where to look for good genealogy records and resources. Learn where to look for free websites that will make your research more fun and productive as well. Bring your stories, questions and advice to add to the meeting on January 11 at 2 pm in the HFC Craft Room. For more info, call Jane at 815-545-6655. LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg The mission of the LA Rockers is: One message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, and life. By painting rocks and 37 hiding them throughout the Lake Ashton community, the group seeks to bring a smile to the face of the person who discovers it and we hope to brighten their day. In addition, Rockers have donated rocks to be used for fundraisers by various charities (the latest being for Breast Cancer Awareness) and to local Nursing Homes. LA Rockers general ly meet every other Wednesday in the HFC Ballroom from 2 to 4 pm where over the year members new and old, have stepped up to share their talents with the group. An LA Rocker meeting is a place to come and have fun. New participants are welcome. You don't need to know how to draw or paint — all you need is the desire to have a good time and make others happy. At meetings, everyone paints, schmoozes and laughs with Rocker friends. And newcomers will be lent the supplies you need for your first meeting. But PLEASE contact either MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) or Connie Strassberg (cbs1949@aol.com) before coming in order to be prepared with supplies for you and be able to contact you if a meeting has to be canceled. To enjoy a lovely afternoon with a great group of people, please join the group on January 11 and 25. If a meeting has to be canceled, notification will be posted on the LA Rockers group page on Facebook. It is so hard to believe that another year has passed and that we have just said good-bye to 2022. Time sure does fly when you are having a good time with LA Rockers! “Should auld acquaintance be forgot; And never brought to mind? ... We'll drink a cup of kindness yet; For the sake of auld lang syne!” The Administration of LA Rockers wants to wish all members and all of the rest of Lake Ashton a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023.
