LAIICDD NEWS BY M a r y B o s m a n , L A I I C D D C o mm u n i t y D i r e c t o r The temperatures outside recently are sizzling, but there’s plenty of cool activities available inside at the Health and Fitness Center (HFC). Walking inside in the Community Center is a great option as are the various indoor gaming opportunities. Corn hole sets, billiards, our new pool/golf game, ping pong, basketball, racquetball, and our multiple Wii games are awaiting your use in the comfort of air conditioning. The indoor swimming pool will also keep off the damaging rays of sun, so you can swim for longer periods of time without your skin burning or becoming leathery and wrinkled. For those of you who visit our Fitness Center, check out the new recumbent bike. New massage room conveniences have been added as well. COVID updates…you’ll see our Wearing is Caring posters around the HFC and staff will always have a mask with them, so ask them to put one on while you interact if you wish…they will likely ask if you want them to put it on first though! Daily information comes into my office from the CDC and other medical resources, and our Chairman of the Board keeps very well informed as one of the Public Safety resources, so know that your safety will always be foremost in our priorities. You will always be kept abreast on best practices. Please see page 16 for more information on how we are working to keep Lake Ashton residents safe.

Stop in and try it out! We also have a cost free (to LA II CDD) vending machine in house again. It’s located in the hall outside the fitness room and it’s getting good usage there. It takes cash or cards. Our new landscaping teams are Fox Hollow (flower beds) and Prince and Sons (mowing, etc.) They are already making needed improvements for the HFC grounds and Ashton Boulevard. Supervisor McKie has worked many hours getting this transition in place seamlessly. The LA II Board will not be having a meeting in September, so their next meeting is October 15th at 9 AM in the Community Center. The final budget for FY 2022 will be voted on at that time. Our Board members have office hours weekly where you can meet one to one with them. Their dedication to serving the Lake Ashton Community is amazing. The next LA Connection will be off the press on September 22nd at the HFC.
