Please send an email to cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com if you would like a copy. A Joint CDD Meeting was held on the same day and both boards discussed the Joint Amenity Policy. Supervisors and residents gave great feedback and a revised version of the policy will be presented at the next Joint CDD meeting on July 15 at 11 am at the Health and Fitness Center (HFC). Discussions regarding the LA(LW)CDD Fiscal Year 2023 budget (October 1, 2022 - September 30, 2023) are ongoing. The hearing to adopt the budget is set to occur on August 15, 2022 during the regularly scheduled monthly Board of Supervisors (BOS) Meeting. Every BOS meeting between now and then is important and residents are encouraged to attend in person or via Zoom. Please visit lakeashtoncdd.com for agenda packets, the proposed FY 2023 budget, approved meeting minutes, and other district documents including the current Joint Amenity Facilities Policy, and seasonal checklists. June 21 is the first day of Summer and the longest day of the year; take advantage of it! Don't let the sun and rain intimidate you — there are plenty of fun things to do inside, and outdoor activities can also be enjoyed safely. There are multiple umbrellas at the Outdoor Pool, Pet Play Park, and Bocce Ball Courts, and the Shuffleboard Courts have benches covered by a roof for shelter from the heat and rain. Remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated when enjoying outdoor activities. While enjoying the wonderful outdoors be sure to stop by the Clubhouse Pavilion and take a look at the beautiful Florida friendly plants that were recently installed by the Lake Ashton Garden Club. This area is more beautiful because of their hard work and dedication. In June, the Garden Club will be planting trees in the Pet Play Park. Stay tuned to media for information on how you can help with this community outreach project. They are truly making Lake Ashton more beautiful each day. Thank you! 8
