Residents can beat the heat and enjoy a groovy Fourth of July Celebration in the Clubhouse Ballroom at noon on the 4th after LAVA's (Lake Ashton Veteran's Association) Annual Fourth of July golf cart parade (see page 22). Let's show how patriotic Lake Ashton really is. There are lots of fun things to do while spending the summer in Lake Ashton. Stay tuned to email blasts for even more fun including food trucks, Sunday Funday events, karaoke, and more! On June 20 the LACDD Board of Supervisors met to give staff direction on next steps regarding the Restaurant at Lake Ashton. Ashton Tap and Grill's last day of business was June 30. A Resident Focus Group was formed to evaluate next steps in the usage of the current Restaurant space. The group will be meeting throughout the month of July and the beginning of August, and will present a report on their suggestions at the August 15 Board of Supervisors meeting. The Board also voted to send out a notice to Lake Wales residents informing them of a not to exceed assessment increase of $300 for the 2023 Fiscal Year (beginning October 1, 2022). The final amount will be discussed at the July 18 Board of Supervisors meeting. A summary of other board actions was sent out via email blast on June 26. The joint meeting originally scheduled for July 15 was moved to August 19 and will be held in the Health and Fitness Center (HFC) Community Center at 11 am. The Activities Desk enclosure project should be complete by publication. When entering the main entrance of the Clubhouse residents will have access to Activities Desk staff via openings on the western Lobby wall. At this location residents can accomplish tasks like they normally did at the Activities Desk in the Ballroom. This includes guest registration, ticket purchases, ID photos and much more. There will be an ADA compliant opening available for use and Activities Assistant Caroline will now have an office! We are excited for this project to be complete and look forward to having a more efficiently run Ballroom and Activities Office. Staff is also busy with other projects around the amenities such as pressure washing, painting, organizing the attic space, rearranging storage areas to be more efficient, replacing umbrellas, and much more. Staff works hard to ensure the amenities are clean and ready for use by residents. Any residents who notice an area in need of repair or cleaning at the Clubhouse can complete a resident feedback form located outside of the Community Director's office or email cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com. We wish everyone a very happy Independence Day. Enjoy time with friends and family and celebrate the wonderful country we live in...the United States of America!
