Fall is in full swing in Lake Ashton with pumpkins and brightly colored leaves displayed throughout the Clubhouse and activity calendars bulging with fun! Staff and Supervisors work hard to ensure there is a robust offering of classes and activities for residents to enjoy and amenities are kept in tip top shape. With that being said there are resident feedback forms located outside of the Community Director's Office and Facility Repair Forms located in each amenity room in the Clubhouse. Please complete a form if you notice something in need of repair and submit feedback concerning your experiences at the Clubhouse. Staff is here for you...to make your events go off without a hitch, to help advertise and promote your group activities, and to ensure you live your best retirement life. With the return of summer travelers traffic counts will begin to increase in Lake Ashton. With that being said please be sure to take your time when maneuvering throughout the community. Be sure to wear reflective clothing when walking or biking during hours when light is limited and always walk facing traffic. Please see pages 18-19 for more information on how to keep our streets and residents safe. Please remember storm season runs until November 30. All residents should be prepared for severe weather. Helpful storm preparation resources can be found at either Activities Desk. On September 15 Supervisors met to attend to board matters. They approved an aquatic plant agreement with Applied Aquatic to maintain the ponds in the Lake Wales portion of Lake Ashton. Solitude was chosen to maintain the wetlands and conservation areas. A quote was approved to do some minor striping work on the East parking lot to add an additional handicap spot. A wrap up report was sent out with additional actions taken at the meeting. Residents are encouraged to attend board meetings to keep up with what is going on in your community.

The Health & Fitness Center continues its tradition of bringing awareness to breast cancer throughout the month of October. To begin with, we encourage LA residents who attend exercise classes in the month of October to wear pink clothing to all exercise classes, and a chance to win a gift certificate. The HFC’s annual breast cancer awareness walk is also taking place on October 3, beginning at 9 am, with a short walk route and a longer walk route. The HFC will award medals to the first three finishers in each category during a special breakfast brunch for walk participants. Please stop by the HFC to register for the walk. Residents who wish to make donations can drop off (checks only) made payable to Breast Cancer Foundation of Central Florida throughout the month. The HFC also features a Wall of Honor where names of LA residents or family members who have been affected by breast cancer can be displayed behind the HFC’s activity desk during the month of October. LA residents simply need to let HFC personnel know of name(s) of those people they would like to honor. Residents are also encouraged to stay tuned for more updates and pop-up events throughout October, as the HFC is committed to fostering both awareness and community spirit. Whether participating in a group walk, attending a lively performance, or sharing the names of loved ones on the Wall of Honor, there are many ways to get involved and show support. The month promises to be filled with opportunities to connect, reflect, and make a positive impact. For further details or questions regarding any of these activities, residents can contact the HFC team, who are always happy to help. Upcoming events at the HFC include Durham and Company for a lively Friday night dance on October 10, and back by popular demand is Brenda and the Smoking 45’s who will be performing on October 24 for Fright Night, where costumes are optional. You can reserve a table for either event at the HFC Activities Desk. These BYOB events are also pay at the door admission. Be sure to mark your calendar for the Board of Supervisors LA II CDD meeting on October 16, 2025, at 9:00 am. With enthusiasm and compassion, the HFC looks forward to welcoming everyone, whether you are a longtime participant or new to the community. Together, each gesture, each step, and each word of encouragement carries solidarity that makes these events so impactful. Let us continue to uplift one another this October and beyond. 10 ׉ 7cassandra://anlVlwuBsoppKMRx09jX1Nsxc7ZrwDtEPEHin6rerj8)`h"Cx)׉E11 ׉ 7cassandra://vtPGg_P3_FB8qS10Q1yazoI_YIX-upjHHfQAsTyDXEM;;`h"Cx)Ɂh"Cx)ȁ4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://bT76V4_Y66WRLMFms9n4_nlTI2NkEHyJP2C_rMP3noA?`׉ 7cassandra://TtdfU3dV-YimIp_w_x-uTOLC1Ez3ulTIJoInCnE6JDcȲ`u׉ 7cassandra://PFCy8Vq94A4MEEQrIDoxH1xFZWb6q1Wv0vlAOF1yn54+.`h"Cx)-טFu׉׉ 7cassandra://SttndDDG0CPClkuljVKRsWdkkZiBYBPWI0Em-V7hEpM``׉ 7cassandra://HLHF9OCBCZzyUJT7_Q8jr0fQSQhPTW6KorGyNYPDr3cͅ`u׉ 7cassandra://hveQ-FXzEXhzk25jR5M2D4eXRxSVx0icRuMFuNnM3oM01`h"Cx).נh"Cx)329ׁH'mailto:Tasha.Saca@horizonwealthplan.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E ROAD CONSTRUCTION NOTICE • The bowling machines are all self scoring.

Marsha and her husband David moved to Lake Ashton in 2019 and declared, "no more snow"! Having raised three children, Christopher, Benjamin and Emily, the Bishops will celebrate forty years of marriage next June. Since October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month", she is commemorating the 10th and 12th anniversaries of her two sisters' recovery from breast cancer! She said, "there is hope with medicine so your life can be longer". Believing in hope helped Marsha October 25, 2023. While on a transatlantic cruise, her daughter Emily was frantically trying to reach her parents with horrific news. When they finally connected, Emily blurted out, "Mom, Benjamin has been shot but he is alive". Having one more day before docking in Lisbon, Marcia relied on CNN for the latest developments. Not only was her son shot five times, it was the largest mass murder in Maine's history. Arriving stateside, friends drove them to the hospital, where Benjamin was intubated. Marsha discovered that a mentally deranged man had shot and killed seven people in a bowling alley. Then he drove to a recreation center where Benjamin was participating in a corn hole tournament. There the shooter killed eleven and injured thirteen others within 78 seconds. Marsha's son lost complete use of his arm and hand but is back to work while still recovering. 14 Marsha and David are looking forward to Benjamin's wedding on October 25th, the second anniversary of the shootings. Marsha said, "they are going to take the worst day of their life and make it the best day of their life"! After her son's wedding, although hesitant to go into large crowds and being very aware of her surroundings, Marsha and David are going on a European cruise. Marsha, a woman of faith, enjoys Lake Ashton dances, travel, movies, cards and Stella, their golden doodle. Marsha's spirit radiates hope and forgiveness!

LOOKS Wildlife Corner Photo & Article By Barbara Ann Comer The great egret is the largest white egret in Florida. These usually solitary birds can be found at any body of water hunting for fish, the mainstay of their diet. Lake Ashton residents may be surprised to have a living lawn ornament as Great Egrets also hunt in landscaped yards for lizards and other delicacies. They are dwarfed in size only by the ubiquitous Great Blue Heron. These large white members of the heron family have a heavy yellow bill and black legs and feet. Breeding adults sport long lacy plumes on the back and vivid lime-green lores (the skin between the eye and the bill). These lovely plumes nearly led to the Great Egret's demise as they were fashionable on women's hats in the late 1800s. Once the birds were protected, they made a good comeback and became the symbol of the National Audubon Society. REMINDER TO ALL RESIDENTS Residents should be mindful of their property boundaries and not conduct work of any kind outside of those property boundaries. This includes, but is not limited to, installation of landscaping, drains, and pipes in addition to maintenance work on pond banks, common areas, or conservation/ wetland areas. Contact LA (LW) CDD Community Director Christine Wells (cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com) or LA II (WH) CDD Community Director Karen Van Kirk (kvankirk@lakeashton2cdd.com) to report any concerns regarding pond erosion, areas in need of maintenance, or a possible encroachment. 16 ADOPT-A -ROAD CLEANUP By Linda Sandel A Lake Ashton quarterly litter clean-up event is scheduled for October 23 to pick up trash along Thompson Nursery Road.

Unfortunately, there was a recent accident involving a golf cart which resulted in property damage and injury to the driver. This was not reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies as required by Florida statutes with vehicle accidents involving injuries. In this case a police officer or Sheriff’s deputy would have responded to make sure all aspects were taken care. In instances such as this, when in doubt call 911 for the appropriate response. Golf carts are considered motor vehicles under Florida statures. The same restrictions and requirements go along with operating them. Another area of concern regards the complete, yes complete, stopping at a stop sign. As was previously noted, that means golf carts and bicycles as well. When you come to a stop sign, stop at the designated while line, check all directions and then proceed. The Lake Ashton speed limit is twenty miles per hour, and we strongly recommend you adhere to it! Since most of us in Lake Ashton are retired, there is no valid excuse for speeding which not only puts you but your neighbors at risk as well. We have asked our two police agencies for increased emphasis on this, so if you are caught, it is your own fault. As our streets are narrower than many city streets, proper parking is essential for effective traffic flow and safety. Residents should only park in the direction of traffic flow. We have had numerous complaints regarding this issue, and we ask all of you to remind your landscaping contractors of this fact or risk being cited by law enforcement. Lastly, please do not drink and drive! As we said before, golf carts are also subject to this law and if caught or God forbid being involved in an accident the same sanctions pertain as cars. The penalties for Driving While Impaired are quite severe and criminal in nature and could have life changing effects. These are just of few of the concerns we have gotten and in future articles we will highlight other traffic safety topics. As always, on behalf of your Neighborhood Watch Team, we wish you a safe October! PARKING & ROAD SAFETY Residents are reminded that the speed limit throughout all of Lake Ashton is 20 mph and all golf carts, vehicles, and bicycles (including electric bicycles) should make a complete stop just before the white stop bar whether before or after the posted stop sign. It only takes a moment to follow the traffic controls that are in place that could potentially prevent a serious accident. The Lake Wales and Winter Haven Police Department patrol in Lake Ashton on a regular basis. Please take a little extra time to ensure you (continued) 18 ׉ 7cassandra://BV6u48ox4ZQgKtFb-qem-RhSA94CAjUGAnwKSeisouo2R`h"Cx)׉E19 ׉ 7cassandra://ITt7SEcV2zSrlu3DZNxcCOiIJDlHXr5jeiXgSc11TiI;c`h"Cx)сh"Cx)Ё4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://GN1Zc8hkNzJnZXtc22PIssoIsPbO0SXJDXU4tIC1NJ8a`׉ 7cassandra://XK7W0Qy0_apP21_9ALlCU-Hzo-bZV1kwBQy4PjS0wAI͑`u׉ 7cassandra://5AzfYF8SS2o7f3OpoiYA6ztdDeUTRfF7iJLS7e9-TiY*`h"Cx)OטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://rv4RyG0btZNU0QAj0FiqOAP_8NFQ56dYEkb4ba1lCl0Ue`׉ 7cassandra://4VRlFBc0erkfQ2Kwsz2v4KI5SznAIdweJ5VRKWRXoSsl`u׉ 7cassandra://YvU8l-P8tsew-i7AVD8a5wEyoDMHJ8FV2fpAfqe0JnU$v`h"Cx)Pנh"Cx)T:]9ׁHmailto:fjs1023@aol.comׁ ׁ Јנh"Cx)Sn9ׁHhttp://homeinstead.com/333ׁ ׁ Јנh"Cx)R/v!9ׁHhttp://1.Inׁ ׁ Ј׉EXmaneuver throughout the community as safely as possible to avoid a ticket and more importantly, an accident.

The show covers various decades and legends like Billy Joel, Queen, Tina Turner, Barry Manilow, and many more. CRYSTAL STARK & GRADY HARRELL - Feb. 24 American Idol semi-finalist Crystal Stark lights up a stage and captivates an audience with her infectious energy, megawatt smile, and out-of-this-world voice in a show that pays homage to legends as well as current superstars. Grady Harrell Jr. has been performing since childhood, launching his career in the ’70s with the soul/funk group Papa’s Results. A versatile entertainer, he portrayed Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke in acclaimed stage productions and the miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream. THE DOO WOP PROJECT - Mar. 5 The Doo Wop Project's live show starts at the beginning, five guys on a street corner singing tight harmonies. From there, this epic show expands the genre by incorporating the sounds of today's top artists such as Amy Winehouse, Maroon 5, Garth Brooks, Jason Mraz, and Adele, to name a few. The boys of DWP then take these contemporary songs and give them a Doo Wop twist, something they like to call, “Doo Wopify”. JAYNE CURRY - Mar. 21 Jayne’s huge powerhouse vocals will take you on a journey of delight, from Broadway musicals, hit pop songs, soul songs, and rock from iconic women such as Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, ABBA, and more.

With a high energetic style, and a unique rhythm, (his style has been called '..pure comedic jazz'), Troy Thirdgill is one of the most touring acts working today. His clean, but not corny, intelligent material, and insanely real characters always evoke deep laughs.

PINK RIBBON DANCE & GOLF TOURNAMENT By Lydia Fichtman This year’s golf tournament is November 6 and 8, sponsored by Lake Ashton Golf Management. All funds raised will be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation of Central Florida. The mission of this 501(c)(3) is to ease financial worries of local Central Florida breast cancer patients and their families. While a patient is in active treatment the foundation’s financial assistance program helps patients with non-medical financial expenses such as rent, mortgage payments, utility bills, car repairs, car payments, gas for treatment travel, and/or daycare costs. In addition, there is a children’s fund that provides financial compensation for each child in the household upon initial application approval and during the holidays. The pictured golfer is located in the Clubhouse. Attached to a golf ball is a QR Code. If you would like to make a donation, register a non-golf club member for the tournament, or become a Sponsor, scan the QR Code above or on the golfer statue. Think about making a donation for a loved one. Each of us knows someone who has had this disease. A special kick-off party will be held at 4 pm on November 6 at the Eagles Nest and on the West 18th Hole. There will be a putting contest and a closest to the string contest for a small fee. Prizes will be available for both, and munchies. November 8 is the Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament. In 2024, Lake Ashton donated just over $59,000 to the Foundation through sponsors, donations, silent auctions and registrations. Lake Ashton would like to meet or exceed that goal this year. Sign up at the Pro Shop as a foursome, a pair or an individual. The Member fee is $45 and the Non-Member fee is $75 which includes a continental breakfast, a round of golf, lunch (again provided by Glory Days) and a donation to BCFCF. Registration closes on November 1. Sponsorships are available from $50$1000. Interested sponsors can download a form from the Lake Ashton Living website. Volunteers are also needed for the golf tournament. If you are not golfing and want to help, contact Lydia at 215- 290-9375 or Rita Lee at 484-431-4243.

Coaches Corner “One of the most important keys to successful doubles play is communication between partners. It is even more important to listen to the communication of your partner. Remember my #1 rule: HAVE FUN!” LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Can you imagine a bunch of men and women, 50 years and older, getting together for a swim meet? Well, the National Senior Games program has been doing that since 1970. There are local, regional, statewide, and national competitions. Our 6-year-old LA Swim Club has had swimmers at all those levels. Most club members got involved in LASC for fitness, but some heard about the fun swim meets and used the competition as motivation to keep up their fitness activity. The swim meets our club has enjoyed most are in Sanford, FL (which will be held November 2) and Polk Co. (which will be held March 7-8, 2026 at the Rowdy Gaines pool in Winter Haven). Several swimmers had never competed and were nervous to try, but they found these events to be very enjoyable. Anyone who can swim two or more lengths is welcome to attend any of our reserved pool times Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 to 2 pm and Saturdays 10 to 11 am. Some do their own workouts and others follow the club's written workouts. Coach Sandy White offers tips that match your goals (i.e., fitness, technique, efficiency, speed, endurance). For more information, email sandyw1994@aol.com or come see us at the pool.

Sweet potato leaves are ready for picking, while vibrant turmeric, glossy eggplant, hearty luffa (yes, the kind that becomes a natural sponge!), and the uniquely tangy Thai Roselle are all flourishing in the garden beds. Visitors will notice a new touch of organization too—each bed and plant is now clearly labeled, making it easier than ever to learn about what’s growing. Looking ahead, our gardeners are already preparing for Florida’s fall planting season, with members sharing ideas at the September meeting on what to grow next. And don’t miss a special highlight: Josh from Cody Cove will be joining us for a special presentation tentatively on a Friday in October (date to be determined). With growth, learning, and community at its heart, the garden is a place to celebrate every season. GARDEN CLUB By Pam Klawinski “Gene, The Barefoot Gardener” shared his knowledge with the Lake Ashton Garden Club last month on getting our gardens ready for Autumn. We had a wonderful Q&A session with him. Gene brought some free daffodil bulbs, plumeria seeds and seedlings to share with us along with several plants that were distributed for a small donation. The October meeting will be held Wednesday, October 8 in the Pavilion at 10 am. This month’s meeting will feature a presentation on planting herbs and edible plants. Please join us to gather some information and also to share your tips.

Residents can look forward to creative new offerings, weekly Nest Platters, and rotating hot sandwich specials designed to keep things fresh and flavorful. By Kevin Baker, General Manager Thank you to everyone who joined us for the recent Town Hall meetings at the Eagles Nest. Over 120 residents attended the two sessions, and we truly appreciate the thoughtful dialogue and valuable feedback you provided. Your voices matter, and we’re excited to share some of the updates inspired by your input. One of the most common requests was to host more evening events, and we’re thrilled to announce that a new activity calendar will be released this October. These programs will bring more opportunities for neighbors to gather, connect, and enjoy the vibrant community spirit that makes Lake Ashton so special. A special thank-you goes out to everyone supporting the NFL Sunday Ticket experience at the Nest. It’s been wonderful to see so many fans come together each week to cheer on their teams in a fun and welcoming environment. As we approach the busier season, we kindly remind residents to make reservations in advance whenever possible. This helps our staff prepare and ensures that your visit is as enjoyable as it can be.

October represents the joy of pumpkin patches and fall decorations, and the overall sense of some of the best time of year for outdoor activities in Florida. October is also the last month of the LALGA’s fiscal year. LALGA is an 18hole ladies golf league. Annual dues of $35 are due on or before November 1. The registration form will be sent via email to members or it is available on the LALGA website at https://lakeashtonliving.com/ community/golf/lalga. Dues are payable by check only to LALGA and may be turned in with a completed registration form to the Pro Shop or mailed to Kathy Reed, LALGA treasurer. To compete in LALGA events, you must be a member of LALGA and you must have an established handicap. New members who have paid their dues but do not have an established handicap, may play in LALGA events but will not be eligible for prize money until her handicap is established. Ladies who are Lake Ashton Golf Club Members but do not belong to LALGA may play a two-round maximum trial period without joining. The LALGA day of play is Tuesday with a 9am shotgun start. The league would welcome any new members. New members are assigned a league member as their mentor to help them feel welcome and familiarize them with league procedures. Ladies, come join the fun and play some golf!
