LAVA CLUBS AUXILIARY By Chris Graves The next meeting for the LAVA Auxiliary is scheduled for November 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse Ballroom, close to the stage. Membership is open to any Lake Ashton resident; you do not have to have served in the military or had a family member in the military. You only need to love our country and want to help us support veterans and active military. It can be something as simple as sending holiday cards to the military, to events such as our Annual Craft Fair. Funds raised at last month’s Craft Fair will be discussed at the November meeting. The money raised will benefit the K9 Partners for Patriots. Thank you to everyone who helped with the Craft Fair! It is you, the resident volunteers, who make this event successful. Thank you, Charm City, for funds for the hot dogs and providing their yummy homemade chips for visitors to purchase. They have been very supportive without our even asking. Not to mention that their food is very tasty and servers are very friendly. Nick and crew, please know that we are very happy that you have come to our community! God Bless America! LA BELLES By Joan DiBattista The Holiday LA Belles luncheon, which encompasses the November and December meetings, will take place on November 29 at noon at L'Incontro Italian Restaurant in Lake Wales and will be limited to 35 ladies. This will be a fun time to enjoy the holiday season together. Contact Tammy Shields 863-632-2024 or Carole Erickson 828-772-4984 with questions. Sign up online or at the Clubhouse Activities Office. (FYI - L'Incontro charges an extra fee when using a credit card for payment.) CAMERA CLUB By Larry Hillock The meeting on October 9 kicked off the 2023 – 2024 season. A lot of good suggestions were made as to potential club activities. Plans will be developed for outings to Circle Bar B Reserve, Bok Tower Gardens and other locations. Contacts are being made to invite guest speakers to club meetings. As the LA snowbirds begin their migration south, we look forward to another good season for sharing our enjoyment of photography. The Camera Club is open to all residents regardless of their skill level. Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 10:30 am in the Cinema. As always you are encouraged to bring along a few pictures on a USB drive to share and discuss with the group. Next meeting will be held on November 13.
