LA ROCKERS By Annie Lutz HEARTFELT HUGS By MJ Richards LA Rockers is a wonderful group that spreads acts of kindness to the LA Community. You never know what a small painted rock can do to someone’s day, outlook, or even their life. It’s about sharing a little message of encouragement to someone who needs it. It’s about bringing smiles to our neighbors. It’s about welcoming new neighbors. As our group continues to grow, we are learning new skills and techniques, and sharing ideas. Although there are many talented artists in the group, most are crafters who enjoy gathering to use their creativity and imagination while having fun without any pressure. We are currently creating rocks for 2 service projects for the coming holidays. We are working with the LA Singles group with their holiday project. We will also be providing rocks to Water’s Edge residents, and we are really excited to be providing a class for their residents to learn how to paint rocks in January. LA Rockers will meet in the HFC Ballroom from 2 to 4 pm on the first and third Wednesday of the month (November 1 and 15). The 1st Wednesday will be for current members to learn new skills and techniques. The 3rd Wednesday is a “Free Paint” session where newcomers are welcome to join the group. Newcomers will be lent the supplies they need for their first session, but contact MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) at least five days before their first meeting so that supplies can be provided. Join us to share those smiles one rock at a time! ITALIAN/AMERICAN CLUB By Susie Escoda Hello to our Italian/American friends. Please join us Thursday November 16th at 6pm at the HFC for our monthly potluck. Bring a dish to share (desserts are taken care of) a beverage and $2 to cover expenses. If you’re new to Lake Ashton, and you have Italian heritage please join us & meet some new friends. No need to RSVP. Any questions call Susie Escoda at 863-206-6566 43 Heartfelt Hugs is a service group consisting of crocheters and knitters creating baby blankets and hats for all sized babies (from very premature to newborn). Some of these may be used for bereavement. The blankets will be donated to two local groups: Winter Haven Women’s Hospital and Catholic Charities. We create these items in our own homes, at our own pace, with no meetings to attend. (We may at some point in time gather for coffee or lunch to all meet each other!) You can choose your own pattern, colors, and size from receiving to crib. All you have to do is email me at mjmrichards517@gmail.com to express your interest in joining the group, start crocheting or knitting, and when you are finished with one or two (or more), drop them off at my home for delivery. It’s easy and so worthwhile. Please consider joining this group! LARGEST SELECTION OF INDOOR & OUTDOOR FANS ANYWHERE!
