LAVA AUXILIARY By Chris Graves The October Meeting of the LAVA Auxiliary will be held on October 18 at 6:30 pm at the Clubhouse near the stage. The LAVA Auxiliary is a group of residents (men and women) who work together as a group to create opportunities to reach out to the military and veterans; to let them know that they are appreciated and not forgotten. The next event is the Craft Fair on October 21. Volunteers are needed to bake goodies for our Bake Sale. See the flyer in this Newsletter for more information. There are more than 48 vendors signed up for the Craft Fair. They will be set up in the Clubhouse Lobby, Ballroom, and, NEW this year, the Cinema! Lots of crafts to see! Lunch will be available for purchase as well as baked goods. Check out the kitchen area for these items. Thank you to our volunteers and thanks to Charm City for sponsoring the lunch. God Bless America and our Military! THE LA PURPLE STARS The LA Purple Stars, your Relay for Life Team, will be sponsoring a booth selling handcrafted items at the upcoming Craft Fair October 21 in the Clubhouse. 100% of the proceeds of all donated items sold will go to the American Cancer Society. Once again Linda Ross has so graciously donated a quilt for our raffle item. Tickets for the raffle are $1 each or 12 for $10. They will be on sale at Monday Morning Coffee and also at the Clubhouse 34 Activities Office. We are still looking for homemade items to sell at our booth. Please contact Rita Baxter at 863-604-19028 to drop off your donation. Thank you, Lake Ashton, for supporting The American Cancer Society!
