DUPLICATE BRIDGE By Don Fuller & Liz Leigh The Duplicate Bridge group is celebrating 20 years of Monday games at Lake Ashton, making us one of the oldest ongoing activities in the community. Started by Pat Foster — who still participates — the group has provided both a challenging and a learning opportunity for our players. We celebrated our anniversary on January 29 with a luncheon prior to our game. Presently the game is operated by Don W. Fuller, an ACBL Certified Director. We welcome new players of all abilities, though a basic knowledge of the game is required. For more information contact Don at dfuller627@yahoo.com.

The LAVA Auxiliary is made up of residents who love our 40 country. It is non-political and any Lake Ashton resident is invited to join. We meet once a month on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. near the stage at the Clubhouse. During the year we host events to raise funds for our veterans and active military. The Girl Scouts attended our February meeting and offered for sale not only cookies but also donations for cookies to be sent to our military overseas. The LAVA Auxiliary started the donations with a $400 check for this cause. SAVE THE DATE: The Annual Craft Fair is Saturday, October 26. If you would like to become a vendor, stop by to see Sheila at the Clubhouse. Sheila has the Vendor Packets. God Bless America! LA ROCKERS By Annie Lutz LA Rockers is a wonderful group of residents that spreads acts of kindness to our LA Community. By painting and hiding rocks here at Lake Ashton we hope to change a person’s day, outlook, and even their life by finding just the right message at just the right time. Our group had a great turnout for the recent LA community Club Expo. We welcomed six new members this past month. As our group grows, we’ve had an average of 28 members at each meeting. Come give the group a try! You don’t need to be an artist to create a beautiful rock. There are lots of ways to paint and the group is always happy to share tips and techniques. LA Rockers meets in the HFC Community Center from 2 to 4 pm on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. The 1st Wednesday is for current members to learn new skills and techniques. The 3rd Wednesday is a “Free Paint” session where newcomers are welcome to join the group. Newcomers will be lent the supplies they need for their first session. It’s very important to contact MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) at least five days before their first meeting so that supplies can be provided. If you are lucky enough to find a rock, please post a photo of your rock on Talk of Lake Ashton’s (TOLA) Facebook page.
