We may not experience autumn with its falling leaves of red, yellow, and gold, but we look forward to (in anticipation) cooler temperatures, as we continue welcoming back our resident snowbirds. Some residents may observe All Saints Day, Diwali, or other religious and cultural holidays, while others will celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving. We also honor our military veterans on Veterans Day, paying tribute for their sacrifices and contributions to our nation. November is also the month where Americans can exercise their right to vote. The Clubhouse and the HFC, in past years, have alternated hosting a Community Potluck; however now they are only hosting a Friendsgiving Potluck. This year the HFC is hosting the 'Friendsgiving' potluck, reminiscent of years' past. We will be providing the turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, hot rolls and cranberry sauce. You may purchase your tickets for this event at the HFC with the deadline for purchasing tickets on November 9. The United States Marine Corp celebrates its birthday in November and there are also other notable events such as national Alzheimer’s and Diabetes awareness month. Cyber Monday and Black Friday also take place just in time for bargain hunters looking for that perfect holiday gift. November is indeed a month filled with activities and events galore, including Lake Ashton’s annual USO dance hosted by LAVA, on November 6, beginning at 6 pm. Be sure to mark the date of Thursday, November 19 at 9 am for the LA II CDD Board of Supervisors meeting. An email will also be provided with information on how residents can attend via ZOOM. Just as a reminder, you may get an RFID Decal and Golf Cart Sticker Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm at the HFC, and remember, all Lake Ashton residents are required to register their golf carts. Prior to the HFC ending this year with a celebratory New Years’ Eve dance, it will host its’ Holiday dance dubbed “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree “on December 18, featuring the Tony Knight band and the Bacon Wake Food Truck. If you have not attended a fitness class at the HFC in the past month or so, you are in for a surprise with new classes and new instructors. Come on down and check out what is happening at the HFC. 8
