BOLLA TO SPONSOR EXCITING EVENTS IN 2024 By Diane Dillon BOLLA will sponsor an exciting event with Leigh Ann Brown presenting Portrait of a Bride, An Evolving Silhouette, on January 27 from 1 to 4 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. Refreshments will be provided. Leigh Ann is a collector of wedding gowns, with over 300 in her collection. Her oldest gown is from 1872. Leigh Ann will bring 25-30 of her favorite gowns to Lake Ashton. She has different favorites every day! Not only does Leigh Ann describe the gowns, but she includes a brief history of the time-period in which they were worn, often discussing women’s issues of the day. Leigh Ann last brought her beautiful wedding gowns to Lake Ashton in 2020. Her show was a resounding success and is returning by popular demand. Tickets are $15 each and are available for purchase at the Clubhouse Activities Office and online. In February, the members of BOLLA will celebrate our 20th Anniversary! A special luncheon for members will be held in the clubhouse on February 27. Several surprises are in store, along with a mystery guest or two. This celebration is not to be missed! In the meantime, the members of BOLLA have been busy making and delivering blankets. In the last two months, over 260 blankets have been delivered to Guardian Ad Litem, Lake Wales Charter Schools Homeless, Youth for Christ, Snively Head Start, and the East Coast Migrant Project. Even more deliveries are planned for December. Several members of BOLLA can be seen preparing blankets for delivery in the picture above.
