CELEBRATING PAT NEAVES By Diane Dillon, BOLLA Publicity Chair The members of BOLLA (Blankets of Love at Lake Ashton) recently held a surprise party for Pat Neaves at the clubhouse. Pat and Don are moving to Pittsburgh to be near their beloved daughters and grandson. Pat has been BOLLA’s president for over 11 years and has led the group to continued growth and prosperity. Under Pat’s leadership, for the last few years BOLLA has consistently donated over 1,000 blankets per year to children in crisis throughout Polk County. One of Pat’s favorite activities was BOLLA’s major fundraiser, the popular Trash to Treasure sale (coming up in March 2023). Pat was tireless in her efforts so that the Treasures donated by LA residents could be available for others to enjoy. She even recruited Don and his friends to drive trucks to residents’ homes to retrieve furniture and large items for the sale! BOLLA was not Pat’s only passion at Lake Ashton. You might have seen her volunteering at the Clubhouse Activities Desk, collating the LA Times, or helping with countless other activities. Most of all, Pat fostered a spirit of camaraderie and friendship to all. How we will miss her! We wish Pat and Don years and years of happiness with their family. Pat has officially turned over the reins at BOLLA to Linda Warden. Good Luck to Linda and her team who are well on their way to continue Pat’s mission. Pat says,“It’s all about the children. BOLLA is in good hands, and I think I will come back for a visit next winter when it gets cold!” ART’S GOLF CARS, INC.
