HAVE VISITORS? November is a traditional time for residents to host family and friends. Remember, 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, but is not required. Anyone using amenities at the Clubhouse or HFC should have a Lake Ashton Resident ID Card or Facilities Guest Pass. Register guests at either Activities Desk during business hours. Residents must bring at least one adult guest to sign the form. Renters must have a copy of their rental agreement. CARING TREE By Larry & Joanne Hillock The Lake Wales Care Center Caring Tree benefiting the children of local families in need will be set up in the Clubhouse Ballroom in mid-November (the exact date will be announced via email blast). Feel free to take a gift suggestion tag from the tree and purchase an item. If you wish to purchase a different item, feel free to find something appropriate for the age/ gender on the tag. Bring the new and unwrapped item and place it under the tree. If you want to donate a gift card, please leave it with someone at the Activities Desk. Suggestions include such items as action figures, board/card games, books, coloring book/crayons, educational toys, electronic games, fishing poles/equipment, teen bath/hygiene sets, throw blankets or pajamas. Any item you feel someone aged infant through teen would enjoy would be greatly appreciated. The gifts will be collected and delivered to the Care Center Christmas distribution center. Please bring your gifts no later than December 17. If your club or activity would like to donate as a group, please contact the Hillocks directly. Lake Ashton has supported this worthwhile event for over 10 years and the need grows every year. With the effects of the pandemic they are expecting an even greater need in the community. Thank you for your support! 2021 CITY OF WINTER HAVEN COMMISSION ELECTION The City of Winter Haven will be voting to fill one seat on the Commission on November 2, 2021 (Polls open 7am-7pm).
