LACDD NEWS By Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director The first day of spring is March 19. Spring at Lake Ashton brings beautiful weather, baby animals, lots of guests, and a plethora of activities. Be careful when traveling through Lake Ashton, especially at this time of year. This is when the community is at peak population with many residents spending time outdoors, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. In February residents enjoyed a Valentine's Day Dinner Dance with a great new band, Southshore Cruisers, and a Pirate Party with 99 in the Shade rocking the house. This will be the band at the NYE 2025 party! Mark your calendar now. You won't want to miss this amazing band! In March there are many resident sponsored events at the Clubhouse in addition to Lake Ashton's First Annual Senior Expo (FREE), the Annual Cruise-in Car Show (FREE), and the last two Entertainment Series Shows.The 2024 Entertainment Series will surely end with a bang! Please see pages 24 to 36 for more information on the activities scheduled for March.
