LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg Hard to believe that the holiday season is already here. November is the time to think about pumpkins and turkeys, family and friends, and what we feel grateful for and thankful about. The group’s rock painting revolves around themes related to the upcoming holidays and their colors. Rocks are hidden around Lake Ashton to fulfill the mission: “one message at just the right moment can change someone’s entire day, outlook, and life.” LA Rockers continues to meet in the HFC Community Center on alternate Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm. Various members will continue to share their skills as we paint and schmooze with our Rocker friends.
