LAVA AUXILIARY By Chris Graves The LAVA Auxiliary invites you to the March 15 meeting at 6:30 pm at the Clubhouse Restaurant. This is going to be a fun filled evening. At this meeting you will get to experience the behind-the-scenes of several of our fun-filled fund raising activities for 2023. APRIL 15: Mr. Lake Ashton is back! This previous event (pre-Covid) was sold out. Tickets go on sale the beginning of March. The location will be finalized once we hear about the status of the restaurant, but you can begin purchasing tickets the beginning of March. Needed: 10 men to be contestants. Last time the contestants did a line dance (which will be taught to them), answer questions, wear a classy outfit and a funky outfit. Several prizes will be given along with the winner. Five judges will be randomly chosen from the audience. It is already time to begin planning for the Craft Show in October. Residents who want to participate can pick up their applications at the Clubhouse. There are already a number of reservations received. God Bless America, our Veterans, our troops here and abroad. LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg This summer LA Rockers will hold a fundraiser at the Clubhouse tied to the culmination of the Fourth of July Golf Cart Parade. The group will be spending a lot of time the rest of the year preparing for this event (don't worry — we will still be hiding plenty of rocks). Thank you all so much for your past support. We are looking forward to the same support we have always gotten from a very generous LA community. The funds raised will enable us to continue painting and hiding rocks for LA residents to find, enjoy, and share. This is in accordance with our mission statement goal that "one message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, and life". LA Rockers are settling into a new pattern for"biweekly" meetings — we only meet twice a month, and if there is a fifth Wednesday in a given month that was originally scheduled, that meeting will be canceled. The first meeting of the month will be a "teaching" meeting geared to those who already paint rocks (whether with LA Rockers or on their own). For each "teaching" meeting, a member of the group who knows a specific technique will share it with the rest of us so that we can add to our skill sets. The second meeting of the month will be a "free paint" meeting and hopefully a lot of fund raiser rocks will be completed. Newcomers will be welcome to the "free paint" meeting where one of our administrators will share an orientation to rock painting with them. After the orientation, the newcomers can sit with one of our more experienced painters and try to paint a rock of their own. Newcomers: PLEASE contact either MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) or Connie Strassberg (cbs1949@aol.com) before coming to the meeting so that we know you are coming and can let you know what supplies you need to bring. If you want to enjoy a lovely afternoon with a great group of people, please come to the teaching meeting March 8 and/or the free-paint and newcomer orientation meeting March 22. If a meeting has to be canceled, notification will be posted on the LA Rockers group Facebook page. Residents interested in joining a new group should visit the Clubhouse or HFC Activities Desk to obtain the contact information for the facilitator of the club, group, or organization they are trying to join. Thank you to all the club, group, and organization facilitators who work very hard to ensure there is a robust activities schedule for all residents to enjoy. Lake Ashton is lucky to have a large number of residents willing to volunteer their time in one way or another for everyone to live their best retired life. Be sure to view the calendar inserts in this issue for a list of recurring activities held at the Clubhouse and HFC.
