LACDD NEWS By Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director If you were traveling over the summer, welcome back! You might notice a few changes at the Clubhouse, including procedures for signing up for events and purchasing tickets. TicketLeap was introduced to residents in July and staff is here to help with this new transition. Residents are encouraged to stop by the Activities Office during posted office hours for assistance on how to navigate this new program. As we move into a digital world it's important to emphasize a community mindset based on social inclusion and it starts with you! Sit at a new table at Monday Coffee, invite neighbors to an event that you are attending, come to one of the new resident socials and sit with someone new. Lake Ashton is an amazing retirement community, mainly because of the people that live here. Haven magazine thinks so as well. Lake Ashton was recently voted Best Retirement Community in their "Best of Haven" issue. On an everyday basis residents should represent what makes Lake Ashton an amazing community: Having pride in your community, respecting and supporting one another, and encouraging and embracing cultural diversity and social interaction among generations. These things, among others, are what makes a community a community! Looking back to this time three years ago, residents were going through real tests of strength and resilience. Zoom social gatherings were raising spirits while residents were out trying to enjoy social activities during an uncertain time. Let's reflect on those times and ensure social interaction is as important now as it was during those challenging times. Updates from the Board of Supervisors September Meeting: Supervisors approved a refurbishment project for the Bocce Courts that will include the installation of a concrete curb, new side boards, and new carpet.
