SINGLES CLUB By Gretchen Franz The LA Singles Club gets together every Sunday at 2 pm in the Clubhouse Ballroom. All Lake Ashton singles looking for good conversation and fun are invited to join the group. On the first Sunday of each month, the group meets to share information and plan upcoming events. Following the meeting, and on every Sunday, the group plays cards, usually Five Crowns. The Singles often head out to dinner at a nearby restaurant afterward. Once a month, the group also plans a lunch outing and often organizes a monthly field trip to local places of interest. The Single Mingle takes place on the third Thursday of each month, weather permitting, at the Pavilion, where members enjoy snacks, drinks and more good conversation. All Lake Ashton singles are welcome to join the fun! ITALIAN CLUB By Susie Escoda Hello fellow Italians! Summer is coming to a close and many of our snowbird friends will be returning to Lake Ashton.
