LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Despite swimmers out of water, due to heater fuel issues in October, the LA Swim Cl ub membe r s , whether they are fitness or competitive swimmers, have found ways to keep in shape. Different ones have been s po t t ed a t t he outdoor pool, both fitness centers, walking, and riding bikes. This extra activity has been especially important for those aiming for the Golden Age Games in Sanford on November 6 and the Florida Senior Games in Temple Terrace December 3 & 4. To compete in the Florida Senior Games, one must place in the top five in a regional meet. It's exciting to announce that The LA Swim Club is proud to be a Platinum sponsor of the LA Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament in support of breast cancer research. IN MEMORIAM Frank Duffy, a longtime resident, recently passed away. His wife, Geri Duffy, donated a bench and the golf group Frank played with helped with the dedication on the driving range (pictured below). The bench (pictured above) is placed on the range for all to see, enjoy, and remember Frank. Frank was an excellent golfer, a former Illinois State Amateur Champion, and a fun guy to be with. He is sorely missed, but we take comfort in knowing he is in a better place. All are encouraged to get and stay fit. Did you know that even at 55 and over your muscles can get stronger? All are invited to join in the LA Swim Club workouts: Mondays at 6 pm, Wednesdays at 1:45 pm, and Saturdays at 10 am in the HFC Indoor Pool. There is no membership fee. The only prerequisite is the ability to swim at least 1 length of the pool of one or more of the standard strokes ( i .e. f ront crawl /f reestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, or butterfly). Come swim with us! LAVA AUXILIARY By Chris Graves The next meeting is November 16 at 6:30 PM in the Ballroom, near the stage. The LAVA Auxiliary is a group of your friends and neighbors who support the military through fund raising as well as simple actions like sending holiday cards to those serving abroad, donating clothing and other items to veteran nursing homes as well as the annual Girl Scout Cookie drive for the military. Consider attending this month’s meeting!
