Participants should have some experience playing bridge plus a partner is required. We have approximately 60 players in the group and can assist new players in finding a partner. Registering in advance is suggested by signing up in the red book in the Clubhouse Card Room, or by emailing Don at dfuller627@yahoo.com.

The meeting helps plan activities for the coming month and future. For example, the club planned a field trip to National Encounters Training Facility on Thompson Nursery Rd. This facility trains birds of prey for shows like Disney and around the country. Sometimes we can see the birds flying over Lake Ashton in training. That was an October activity. A future activity will be Jacaranda Hotel in Avon Park, where members will go together for a nice afterChristmas buffet in January. And members get together for Theatre Winter Haven productions, as well as trips to places like Bok Tower. Members can offer choices that appeal to therm. In addition to planning fun activities, members adopt senior orphans in Polk County, and provide Christmas gifts in December and July. The “orphans” don’t know who made the donations, and they have been asked by social workers to pick their top three gift wishes. Usually they pick things like a shower chair or even food for their pets. All singles in Lake Ashton are welcome to come to our meetings, and also to play Five Crown cards every Sunday at 2 p.m., same place. Also, the fourth Thursday of every month at 4 pm, members get together at the Pavilion to share snacks and a drink. Give the club a try, if you are interested.
