The Health & Fitness Center can aid its residents by providing seminars, often a Lunch & Learn event, addressing a variety of health issues. If your focus is more on stretching your retirement dollars, we also have seminars presented by financial advisors who discuss concerns like minimizing your tax liability or how to maximize your discretionary income and understanding Social Security benefits. Be sure to look for emails announcing these types of seminars. Staying active can assist with health issues as well, and the HFC provides a variety of exercise classes. If you prefer to go it alone there is an array of exercise equipment in the Fitness Center for your use, or if you have a specific goal you have in mind the HFC offers a tutorial on using the exercise apparatuses. Residents can visit the Activities Desk to inquire about the tutorial or check the monthly HFC calendar for its scheduled time. The HFC hit the ground running with the new year. A few items, such as the water fountains near the Fitness Center had filters replaced and the AC units in the Sports Court and the Craft Room were repaired as well. The staff of the HFC strives to maintain its equipment for the overall facility, and while it may be an inconvenience from time to time, everything we do is for our Lake Ashton residents. Please note that the flagpole ropes at both the guard house and the HFC have been replaced. This will ensure the smooth raising and lowering of the flags as needed. The Racquetball and Sports Court floors have also been painted, resanded and re-finished. We want to thank Lake Ashton residents for supporting our annual Health Fair. The vendors were happy with the overall results of this event. We are happy to be able to provide a venue for Lake Ashton residents to host their events, such as the St. Patrick’s Day dance taking place on March 17, which is also a fund raiser hosted by the LA Purple Stars. March will be a busy month at the HFC with various resident social get-togethers taking place. Thank you again for your continued support. 14
