LA ROCKERS By Connie Strassberg Goodbye summer; hello fall! Paint color choices may be tending toward yellows, and oranges, and browns, and themes may revolve around the upcoming fall holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Some are even already painting rocks that may serve as fillers in Christmas lists. Before you know it, it will be a new year. With snowbirds returning and classes getting larger, the group will continue to meet in the HFC Community Center on alternate Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm. Various members will continue to share their skills as they continue to paint and schmooze with Rocker friends. The point is not to paint a master piece, but to have a good time. Newcomers are always welcome and will be lent the supplies needed for your first meeting. But if you are new PLEASE contact either MJ Richards (mjmr i chards517@gma i l . com) or Connie Strassberg (cbs1949@aol.com) before coming so that we can be prepared with supplies and be able to contact you if a meeting has to be canceled. So if you are here and want to enjoy a lovely afternoon with a great group of people, please join the group October 5 and 19. If a meeting has to be canceled, notification will be posted on the LA Rockers group page on FaceBook. Thank you all for continuing to send prayers for Alice Mayer. SINGLES CLUB By Maureen Ziegler LA Singles is a social group that plans activities for single residents. The group meets monthly on the first Sunday of the month at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. In September, the group discussed several outings and get togethers. Plans were discussed for dinners and lunches during September. The Single Mingle held on the third Thursday of the month in the Pavilion will be moved during the remaining hot months. If you would like to take part in activities with other singles, attend the meeting on October 2. 38 LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Drum roll please! Pictured from left to right are Cathy Liska, Sharon Swanson, Sandy Papineau, and Gena Thornburg, four members of Lake Ashton Swim Club, wearing the 13 medals they won at the 21st Annual Gainesville Senior Games on September 11. The games offered 14 swimming events for women and 14 for men, divided into 10 age groups. Based on their finishes, all qualified to compete in their respective events at the Florida Senior Games Swimming Championships in December. Some LASC members are aiming to participate in the oldest Senior Games in the USA, the 47th Golden Age Senior Games in Sanford, FL, on November 6. The registration is open to ages 50 to 100+ with a deadline of October 20. This and other local/regional meets serve as qualifying events for the state games. You can see that in addition to fitness, stroke improvement, and socialization, the LA Swim Club offers opportunities to participate in fun, friendly competition with others. If you like to swim, please join us at the pool Mondays 6 to 7 pm, Wednesdays from 1:45 to 2:45 pm, and Saturdays from 10 to 11 am. For more information, contact Coach Sandy at sandyw1994@aol.com.
