LACDD NEWS By Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director (cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com) Long days, short nights, afternoon thunderstorms, and flowers blooming bright … summer is officially here! Many residents are taking this time to escape the Florida heat and humidity while others are enjoying guests at Lake Ashton. It is great to see residents proudly showing their visitors the beautiful amenities and even more enjoyable to meet their friends and family. Be sure to register guests at the Health and Fitness Center (HFC) or Clubhouse before taking them to the amenities. Please remember guest amenity access cards must be returned to the Clubhouse Lobby (white box near the Clubhouse Office) upon guest departure. There is a $40 charge for all passes that are not returned. Camp Lake Ashton is coming to an end with the Hoedown Throwdown on July 3. We hope everyone can attend to celebrate summer, Lake Ashton style. On June 23, LACDD (Lake Wales) Board of Supervisors met to attend to community matters. The Engineer gave an update on current projects, including a pond erosion project on hole number 4 of the East Golf Course that is still under construction. Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) pond inspections were completed and the Engineer will be getting quotes to repair a flume on pond number 18, behind homes on Ashton Club Drive.
