CLUBS CAMERA CLUB By Larry Hillock March is a wonderful time of year to be outdoors enjoying our Florida weather. It’s also an ideal time to capture some great pictures of the wildlife visiting us from the north. Last month the club visited Circle B and captured some great photographs. This month we’ll focus on “Family Pictures” and how to improve them. The March meeting will be held on March 10 at 10:30 in the Clubhouse Cinema.Come join us and share our enjoyment of photography. LA PURPLE STARS By Stan Baron The “LA Purple Stars” are volunteers at Lake Ashton who raise money for the American Cancer Society. Over the years we have raised thousands of dollars to help wipe out this disease that has touched many of our residents both personally or through friends and relatives. We recently held a successful Chili Cook Off at the Clubhouse and THANK YOU for your support. But, now we need your help in regard to another matter. When we started the Purple Stars back in 2014 we were young and energetic; unfortunately we are no longer young or very energetic. Our ages are now in the 70s and 80s and our numbers are down for various reasons. Simply put; we need new and younger members. You do not need to be afflicted with the disease or even a survivor to join, you just need to be someone who cares and wants to help and support those who have this disease. Please contact David Harrison at 863-326-6418 or davhar11@yahoo.com for further information. NEW VEGAN HEALTH GROUP By Judy Armstrong Lake Ashton has a new Vegan Health Group.

LA DEMOCRATIC CLUB By Howard Mayne The Lake Ashton Democratic Club will hold their monthly meeting March 6.

For more information contact lakeashtondemocraticclub@gmail.com LA REPUBLICAN CLUB By Bud Colburn There is no Lake Ashton Republican Club (LARC) meeting in March, however, if you are a Lake Wales resident please remember to vote for Mayor on April 1 in the Clubhouse. Lake Ashton has a significant influence on the outcome of local elections which are oftentimes decided by a few votes. In the last municipal Lake Wales election, a City Commissioner won by only 4 votes! Let's be the deciding factor!
