CLUBS BLANKETS OF LOVE (BOLLA) By Pat Neaves WOW! Trash to Treasure 2021 was a big hit! It was well attended by residents and the general public. Everyone at the sign-in was appreciative of the COVID protocol in place. Blankets of Love could not have experienced this success without the support from the residents of Lake Ashton. Many were generous in donating items and participating in the Friday Resident Only evening. Thank you to all the men who so willingly provided helping hands. Without them there would be no Trash to Treasure. Although the event is sponsored by Blankets of Love, it is truly a community success. The BOLLA ladies thank all of you for giving them the opportunity to continue making blankets for children in crisis in Polk County. With teamwork, anything is possible. Thank you for being part of this team! There are many special people in Lake Ashton; however, to the BOLLA group there are two in particular. Without Dan and Carol Begy Trash to Treasure 2021 would not have been possible. The Begys allowed the group to store donated items in their RV garage last March. When COVID shut everything down, these wonderful people allowed the items to remain stored for an additional year. Their kindness will never be forgotten.
