LAKE ASHTON FRIENDS OF MEALS ON WHEELS By Marcia Santino Meals On Wheels Polk held its annual fundraiser at the Nora Mao Hall in downtown Winter Haven on October 4. A special thanks to all the Lake Ashton Friends in attendance! Our community was well represented with about 50 Lake Ashton Residents on hand. The theme of the evening was “Key West Daze” with a laid-back, tropical vibe. We were entertained by a live band, served a lovely buffet dinner and able to participate in raffles as well as bid on silent and live auction items all to raise money for this tremendous service provider. Congratulations to the many Lake Ashtoners that were successful bidders of some fabulous items. REMINDER: Our own two exciting fundraising events are about to take place with all proceeds benefiting Meals On Wheels of Polk County. Event #1 – Gift Card / Gift Basket Raffle through November 13.
