We are indeed fortunate to be living in Lake Ashton, sandwiched between two great cities, Winter Haven, known as the Chain of Lakes and Lake Wales, where both are chock full of fun things to do on any given day. To facilitate residents in knowing what, when and where activities are taking place, the Haven, a local magazine published in Winter Haven is readily available at both the HFC and Clubhouse just after the beginning of each month. Many of these events and activities are free, like Saturday markets which often feature entertainment enveloped between stalls of crafts, local produce and so much more. The Winter Haven Theatre and the Lake Wales Museum of Art, as well as Bok Tower are all a short distance away and feature ongoing events. You do not need to look any further from home though, because right here in Lake Ashton there are activities and events galore. The LA Times has a list of special events, a list of clubs to join, and a calendar of activities for both the HFC and Clubhouse. Ongoing emails from the HFC and the Clubhouse also provide updates to keep residents informed. Progress often comes with some inconvenience, and we apologize that the HFC’s indoor pool is temporarily closed from Jun 19 to August 12, but it is necessary to facilitate the replacement of the ceiling and other needed renovation projects in the pool area. Please note the HFC’s Aqua Reloaded classes that occur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with instructors Laurie Heverly and Sandy Papineau, will take place in the outdoor pool at the Clubhouse during the HFC’s pool closure. Tickets are still available for the July 12 Pig Roast including juicy pulled pork sandwiches, grilled chicken, and a variety of side dishes. Josh Blevins and his band will be on hand to provide entertainment as well. You may also purchase tickets for the HFC New Year’s Eve party featuring a 12-piece band, hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast at midnight. Overall, the balance of 2024 proves to be an exciting one, and we look forward to seeing all of you during the coming months.
