November is a great time to reflect on everything to be thankful for, including beautiful sunny skies and living in a community full of caring friends and neighbors. Joyful conversations have been filling the Clubhouse as yearround residents reunite with seasonal travelers. With the population at Lake Ashton increasing residents should be mindful of the changes in traffic at Lake Ashton. Many residents are out and about enjoying the cooler temps and lower humidity and should be able to do so in a safe environment. The time change on November 6 will bring darkness earlier than past months. Be sure to be prepared and wear reflective clothing or bring a flashlight along if walking at dusk or later. In this edition of the LA Times, residents will see why Lake Ashton stands out. Residents will have many opportunities to celebrate the upcoming holidays and give back to the communities surrounding Lake Ashton. Soon Lake Ashton will sparkle with exterior lights and holiday decorations to get everyone in the spirit of the holidays. This is truly the most wonderful time of year … enjoy it! On October 17, the LA(LW)CDD Board of Supervisors met and approved of several landscaping projects to include Phase 1 of the refurbishment of Lake Ashton Blvd, the cleaning up of areas bordering the golf course near the entrance. In addition, the median in the West parking lot is getting a new look that will include the removal of rock and installation of planted ground cover. Past meeting minutes, full agenda packets, annual budgets, and an upcoming meeting schedule can all be found on lakeashtoncdd.com. The Request for Proposal for Restaurant Services deadline is November 10. Proposals will be reviewed at the Board of Supervisors Meeting on November 28. Staff is working hard to establish cost savings measures at the Clubhouse that will show immediate and long term benefits for residents. A detailed report of all the savings thus far and future areas that are being explored can be found on lakeashtoncdd.com under "Other District Documents". Congratulations to the Reelected and Elected LA(LW)CDD Board Members All three seats that were up for election on the LACDD Board of Supervisors ran unopposed so they will not be listed on the ballot for the November 8 election. Congratulations to Mike Costello and Debby Landgrebe for being reelected for another 4 year term and to Brenda Van Sickle who will join the Board. Thank you to Bob Plummer for all his hard work and dedication to the residents of Lake Wales over the past 4 years. Contact information for Brenda Van Sickle will be posted on lakeashtoncdd.com after the meeting on November 28 when she will be sworn in. 8
