CLUBS CAMERA CLUB By Larry Hillock This month's meeting will be held on Monday, April 10 at 10:30 in the Cinema. Suggestions and planning for future photo shoots will be discussed. Members are encouraged to share their ideas. Please bring a few of your photos on a memory stick so they can be viewed by everyone. We will determine if we will meet in May, as many members will be starting to leave the community for the summer. GARDEN CLUB By Lynn Davis Lake Ashton’s Garden Club’s recent meeting was held on March 9 in the Pavilion. Most of the meeting centered around the club’s upcoming “silent auction” scheduled for April 13 at 10am in the Pavilion. This is the club’s big fundraiser. It is open to members of the Lake Ashton Community. There will be many plants and other garden related merchandise at a very affordable price! There will be succulents, native plants, and many houseplants to choose from. Gene, the Barefoot Gardener, will also be on hand to help answer plant and garden questions. Members of the club will be available too. The Garden Club asks buyers to please bring small bills if planning to attend. It will be a lot easier for making change. If anyone has items to donate please email Lynn Davis at crladavis@aol.com. The Garden Club does not collect dues. All monies from the fundraiser go towards upkeep of current and planned projects, guest speakers and other materials needed for club meetings. In addition to this month’s monthly meeting, Barb Cassidy, a member of the club, will have given a tour of her garden. The tour took place on March 23 also at 10 am. Barb has a wide variety of plants that attract many pollinators. The club is lucky to have Barb as a member. 32 Sil Wells also presented to the club an easy way to transplant plants. She also reviewed how to care for poinsettias for continued blooms in the Fall and Winter. Lucky members took home tomato plants and newly growing poinsettias. Mark your calendar orchid lovers! The meeting May 11 will feature Gene, the Barefoot Gardener, giving advice on how to maintain and care for orchids. The meeting will again be held at the Pavilion at 10 am. The Garden Club meets either the second Thursday or Wednesday of every month, but July. LA TRAVELERS By Laurie Cayton Which Lake Ashton Club has been ongoing longer than any others? The Lake Ashton Travelers were formed 20 years ago and we are starting our 20th year with a bang. The LA Travelers are a group of RV enthusiasts who meet for weekly socials on Tuesday afternoons in the Clubhouse Ballroom at 3:30 pm and plan monthly RV Rallies around Florida. We are the largest Chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association) in the Southeast Region. So far this year the group has attended the Tampa RV Super Show and held a "Party in the Pasture,” a new tradition which finds us in a Winter Haven pasture where we eat, drink, play games and have a ball! The picture below features many of those who were in attendance, as well as some of their rigs. March will find us in Perry, GA at the FMCA's 106th International Convention & RV.
