SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE A SUCCESS ONCE AGAIN! By Carolyn Bishop The Wahneta Elementary School Principal, staff, teachers and most especially families would like to thank the Lake Ashton Community for their overwhelming generosity. The School Supply Drive has filled the school’s empty shelves and filled backpacks for every student at the school. Thank you to every resident who donated a check, supplies or time to make this a big success. Besides all the items dropped off at the HFC and Clubhouse from the general population, the Brennans and the Pinehurst Loop volunteers personally donated and filled over 300 backpacks with supplies at the HFC before getting delivered to the school. This was a remarkable showing of what one relatively small community group could accomplish! Thank you! NATIONAL GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY IS SEPTEMBER 28 Establish the mindset of a good neighbor with these five pillars for building great neighborhoods. The Good Neighbor Mindset 1. Connection. Introduce yourself and connect with others in your neighborhood. It simply starts by saying, “Hello." 2. Invitation. Invite neighbors to join you for a meal or something fun. Gather around a table because the Latin word "communitas" means the spirit of community and it's measured by the number of meals shared together. 3. Celebration. When it comes to birthdays, anniversaries or milestone moments in the lives of others, cheer them on and don't miss out on congratulating them. 4. Awareness. Keep your eyes and ears open. Stay attentive to the safety and security of the people and homes nearby. We are safer and stronger together. 5. Availability. Availability is the highest benefit of good neighbors who truly care and look out for one another. When needed, show up to help and support others living around you.
