RESIDENTS TO RESIDENTS By Tom Scali Lake Ashton is a great community with more options on living our lives than we’ve ever imagined. As we get older, we are starting to think about the next step. Do we move into a continuing care health facility or can we stay here at Lake Ashton as we age? It would be nice to have a forum of residents with similar thoughts to try and put together a list of needs as we become less able to help ourselves. Such items as what kind of in-house care options are available and the cost? Is there a public transportation network to take us to doctors or grocery shopping? What are the costs? There are many more items; some unique to the individual, couple, or widow/widower. All of these needs have to be identified. I was hoping that a forum of concerned residents could identify these needs and then, hopefully, a core group of residents could help find answers and contacts. Maybe vendors with the right qualifications could give us presentations on the products and costs. If anyone is interested in working with us to get this program started, 7 WELCOME BACK, WELCOME COMMITTEE! By Kathy Williams, Welcome Committee Member Resident Catherine Leveille began discussions with Christine to reinstate the LA Welcome Committee that had been disbanded due to the pandemic. The committee has been meeting and discussing ways to build community throughout our wonderful development! She is joined by former LA Welcome Committee leaders David and Barbara Harrison, new members Paul and MJ Richards, Kathy Williams, Judy Perry, Lisa Roy, Valerie Yenor, Cynthia Harris, and Nancy Miller. The committee’s goal is to meet with new residents (and maybe some existing residents) to assist them with acclimating to their new surroundings; finding fun things to do with like minded individuals, discussing local attractions and activities, or just navigating the numerous activities offered in Lake Ashton. If you’d like to be welcomed by a committee representative, know someone new in the neighborhood who would, or have some ideas to share, please send an email to lawelcomecommittee@gmail.com. 2024 CITY OF LAKE WALES COMMISSION ELECTION/ CANDIDATE MEET & GREET Lake Wales residents can vote in the next Commission election on April 2 in the Clubhouse Ballroom.
