LACDD NEWS BY CHRIS TINE WELLS, LACDD COMM U N I TY D I R E C T O R June 20 marks the first day of summer and temperatures will soon be increasing along with the amount of rain. Don't let the sun and rain intimidate you — there are plenty of fun things to do inside. Try playing corn hole in the Ballroom, enjoy an indoor cookout on Fourth of July (see page 24 for more info), watch a movie in the Cinema, go bowling, or running in the Fitness Center while overlooking beautiful Lake Ashton. Outdoor activities are even more shady now. Umbrellas were recently added to the Bocce Ball Courts and there are even more umbrellas at the pool now. Remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated when enjoying outdoor activities. The Board of Supervisors met on May 17 to review the budget and attend to other board matters. There will be a budget hearing August 16 in the Clubhouse Ballroom. Lake Wales residents will be receiving a mailed notice to inform them of the proposed increase for fiscal year 2022. The assessment will be voted on at the budget hearing and will not surpass a total of $1,969 (a $94 increase). The proposed budget is posted on lakeashtoncdd.com under Budgets, then fiscal year 2022. The board also voted to remove all COVID-19 restrictions at the Clubhouse. Hand sanitizer and sanitizing spray are still available in each room and throughout the Clubhouse. Residents are asked to continue spraying down all surfaces after use. Staff will continue to facilitate deep cleaning and sanitizing after all outside events. A wrap up report of other board actions was sent out on May 24. Any residents that need a copy can email cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com. Staff and Supervisors would like to thank all residents for their resilience throughout the past 15 months. We truly were all in this together and are happy to see smiling faces in the Clubhouse again.
