PARKING SAFETY SAFETY CAP By Mike Weissberg Since all residents are part of Neighborhood Watch you are watching things around you. Citizens Assisted Patrol does this by patrolling our streets. Our job is to look for things that do not belong in our community. Our presence with our lights flashing while patrolling our streets is our deterrent to help keep our streets safe. Citizens Assisted Patrol (CAP) is always looking for more volunteers to patrol the streets once a week for two hours. Come help be the eyes, ears, and presence for the Sheriff’s department. Applications are available in the Clubhouse and HFC. More information: Mike Weissberg, 863-324-3541 (leave a message). NEIGH B ORHO O D WATCH FORUM By Fay Wood, NW Chief It is time again for your NW all inclusive community Leadership Team to present what is happening in and out of Lake Ashton and throughout Lake Wales and Winter Haven. Special guests include the Lake Wales and Winter Haven Police Chiefs discussing what is happening in their cities. All NW Safety Team Members and other partners are invited to join in this important meeting at Monday Coffee on March 6 at 9 am in the Clubhouse Ballroom. If you have specific questions you would like answered, email them to fswperson@aol.com and these will become the questions of priority during the meeting. If time permits the Q&A will be opened to the audience. Let everyone continue to work together to keep this beautiful community safe and crime free all year long. As our wonderful Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, indicated, Lake Ashton is his safest community in the County! Thanks to all NW Safety Team Members and partners. To keep this community as safe, enjoyable, and accessible as possible for everyone, all residents and guests, in motor vehicles and golf carts alike, should observe and practice the no parking policy under the Clubhouse porte-cochère (the covered portion of the stone paved driveway). Please help to maintain clear traffic lanes at the Clubhouse at all times so that emergency vehicles and neighbors with limited mobility can have quick and easy access for loading and unloading when needed. Loading and unloading is permitted on a limited basis and should be done so as quickly as possible. All golf carts parking elsewhere on the front driveway should only park with both front wheels touching the curb towards the Clubhouse, not parallel to it, to allow as much room as possible for others to park. Do not park at any time on the opposite curb nearest the fountain. Please observe the No Stopping or Parking signs in front of the resales office This applies to all motor vehicles and golf carts on both the street and the sidewalk.This is one of the community’s busiest and highest traffic locations and stopping and parking at this location can create very hazardous conditions for pedestrians and vehicles traversing this area.
