LAKE ASHTON WOODWORKERS , LLC By Chris Hunziker SINGLES CLUB By Maureen Ziegler LA Singles is a social group that plans activities for Did you know that the Lake Ashton woodshop is not a community amenity? But, it is a community asset. Often, new residents will say the woodshop was one of the things that really attracted them when they were looking for a home to buy. The member-only supported woodshop here at Lake Ashton is a well-equipped and safe place for members to work, and membership is open to both those who are skilled woodworkers and all (both men and women) who are interested in developing some woodworking skills. Non-members also enjoy the benefit of living in a community where skilled members of the woodshop have often provided a service when they needed something repaired or built, and their subsequent “donations” to the shop have helped to support the continuing existence of the woodshop. Members of the woodshop have also provided service to people who requested knife and scissor sharpening. An outside quilters guild highly praised the quality of that work when it was done for them. At the June board meeting it was suggested that we offer a “Project Of The Month” and in the coming months we hope to have someone at one Monday Coffee hour each month to showcase something built in the woodshop. You will not only have the opportunity to see what has been made but an opportunity to place your order for having one made especially for you. In July, Fred Powell will bring in an energy-efficient (no electricity required) phone amplifiers that he made. In August, Jim Sullivan plans to bring in a “cooling rack” and in September, Chris Hunziker plans to bring in a handy, must-have wooden stool. After that, who knows what ideas might surface? We hope that you will come and see. If you have questions about the woodshop or the monthly projects call Jim Sullivan at 401-954-4918 or Fred Powell 804-746-2447 single residents. The group meets monthly on the first Sunday of the month at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. In June, 33 people attended the meeting. The group discussed future lunches, dinners, and other activities. Donations of money may be given, or gifts can be purchased from the list that Susan will distribute for the Christmas in July Senior Orphans outreach. If you choose to purchase a gift, please let Susan know. Susan arranged a dinner at The Crooked Bass. Single Mingle will be held on July 20 in the HFC Craft Room. Volunteers are needed to help set up and clean up. If you would like to take part in activities with other singles, attend the meeting on July 2.
