This is also a good time to check your smoke alarm batteries. 5 HOSTING FAMI LY FOR SPRING BREAK? March is a traditional time for family and friends to escape the cold up north and come to visit those lucky enough to live at Lake Ashton. Remember that when you see a visiting grandchild they are guests of your neighbors so please extend every courtesy possible. Residents, please be tolerant of extra activity at the pool and other Clubhouse amenities. Those hosting family should remind them to be considerate of residents in this 55 and older community. It is helpful if a resident accompanies their guests at any of the amenities. The law requires that a person operating a golf cart on public roads or streets who is under 18 years of age must possess a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license. Lake Wales PD and Winter Haven PD can issue a ticket for violations of this law. All drivers (car and golf carts) must observe the stop signs and 20 mph speed limit. Adults should not place young children on their laps between them and the steering wheel as this creates a hazardous condition for the children in the case of a panic stop or accident. HOMELESS GRADUATING SENIORS By Doris Reisinger Dr. Julio Caba will be speaking about his rise from a homeless teenager to a successful doctorate in teaching on March 4. A true success story! He speaks every year at the graduation party for the Polk County graduates. I attended their party last year and one student even went up and hugged him for his inspiration. Hopefully this will inspire you to donate in some fashion to this worthy cause. Any amount great or small is so welcome. If you need more information see sheets on rack in each the HFC and Club House. Any concerns or questions please feel free to call me at 217-652-6636. NEW RESIDENT ORIENTATION The next new resident orientation will be held in the Clubhouse Ballroom on April 3 at 2 pm. Get introduced to the community and meet other new residents and community leaders. Sign up online or at either Activities Office.
