Lake Ashton is fortunate to have an impressive Veterans Memorial used for special ceremonies including the Memorial Day program on May 29, hosted by Lake Ashton's Veterans Association (LAVA). See page 22 for more information on special events that will be held during the month of May to honor all of Lake Ashton's Veterans. The preliminary fiscal year 2024 budget (October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024) was reviewed at the April 17 LACDD BOS meeting and Budget Workshop and an updated version with the changes requested by the Board will be presented at the May 15 meeting for consideration. A wrap up report regarding actions taken at the April 17 LACDD Budget Workshop and regular meeting was sent out on April 21. If you did not receive a copy and would like to, email cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com. Visit lakeashtoncdd.com for more information including approved meeting minutes, agendas, and other important CDD documents. Signage has been placed at the new designated smoking/vaping area at the Clubhouse which is located at the southern end of the east parking lot. Smoking/Vaping is not permitted anywhere else at the Clubhouse including outdoor amenities. ENTRANCE GATE REMINDERS Please use caution (slow down) when entering the community. There have been several instances when security officers have had close calls from vehicles coming through the entrance gates entirely too fast. Each car should stop at the stop sign, wait for the gate to open fully and proceed at a safe speed. In addition, while it may appear to be helpful to hit the button on your gate remote to open the gate for a resident that appears to be having difficulty with their remote, this could be someone trying to gain access to the community for ill purposes. If a resident is having difficulty with their remote security will assist. Please be patient and wait until the car ahead of you receives the help they need and proceeds through the gate before you hit the button on your remote to enter the gate. ׉ 7cassandra://9G5yNy2Ixlbj2Te5R6Yo-3-4-G0k8MFMLPKjXmgJS88.`dOڜ#x&׉E׉ 7cassandra://HaTMkrQP4tugup-PcKezdf4hAHxvnPhxIZha3QZ5wQY0`dOڜ#x&dOڜ#x&4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://pGDN4F9lcIzQnHjPRoKXrT-jfGzvsx84CRA2fulPXHcl`׉ 7cassandra://Ao8ySggAmFuNn3f2jclxq5zYQsWjIO2nVNNOUJKvesU͸`u׉ 7cassandra://axaeWVkv1OD0jitTxBi2KvtsNDvDxB_PR1izEIXNA_k1`׉ 7cassandra://Y4w5L-51m1Jogf-MF5WeU3h0j9fv-4qfJfqkM3l55jMͧ>^͠fdOݜ#x&SטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://PqAD7Lp4ljJnaMMHRubh-IgalFFa6EfwJkHbHRy4ltoF!`׉ 7cassandra://ZWtlZpjnn11JpSVeUmQrDMmmj7YwA1KLGmTFwO_dRtǵY`u׉ 7cassandra://T-9C7pMcznq1PdtfWdurN5i2L6wCf2G7LZ5xGbduOwA.`׉ 7cassandra://PlSI1CdrUUkfU0Y90FUr_IJh3CRAKGQ8JXHTJI8KVRkP,͠fdOޜ#x&TנdOޜ#x&\Ӂ9ׁHmailto:raull@lakeashton2cdd.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&["[[9ׁH*mailto:alittlewoodlakeashton2cdd@gmail.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&Z9ׁHmailto:maryclark725@gmail.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&Yk9ׁH"mailto:bzelazny@lakeashton2cdd.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&X̩9ׁHmailto:mecsicsj@msn.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&W̫̣9ׁHhttp://lakeashton2cdd.comׁ ׁ ЈנdOޜ#x&V<̫̙9ׁHhttp://lakeashtoncdd.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EJOINT AMENITIES POLICY Each month an excerpt from the newly adopted Joint Amenities Policy is featured in the LA Times. Visit lakeashtoncdd.com or lakeashton2cdd.com to view the full document. With the community at build out, the following policies have been established to accommodate the largest number of reservations by Clubs, Groups, and Organizations while still having availability for residents to use the amenities on a first come, first served basis. Contact LACDD Community Director Christine Wells or LAIICDD Community Director James Margeson with any questions. See page 3 for their contact information. RESERVING FACILITIES Amenity Facilities are available on a “first come, first served basis”, and subject to applicable fees or rates as set by the appropriate District. Requests to reserve facilities should be submitted through the Staff at the appropriate Amenity Facility. With the exception of designated Open Play (as defined in Section X — Amenity Policies — General Usage), reservations may be available for up to two (2) hour increments for all facilities listed in this policy, with the exception of the Clubhouse Ballroom and HFC Community Center. These can be reserved for periods up to four (4) hours. Longer time increments may be approved by the Amenity Manager. Amenities that have not been reserved are available for use on a “first come, first served” basis. There are no personal standing weekly reservations allowed for the Amenity Facilities listed in the reservation policies. Lake Ashton activities taking place within the Amenity Facilities should be open to all Lake Ashton residents and not be labeled as “private”. If the room is not reserved by a club, group or organization, tables may be individually reserved, with the understanding that the Amenity Manager may move or cancel reservations, if required, up to 48 hours prior to the reservation time. Clubs, Groups, and Organizations may make “standing” reservations. These will be reviewed semi-annually by the Amenity Manager. (Refer to section IX on what constitutes a club.) If a standing reservation made by a registered Club, Group, or Organization is cancelled or unused more than three (3) times in a six (6)-month period then the reservation may be revoked by the Amenity Manager. This does not apply to a Club, Group, or Organization going on a planned hiatus previously arranged with Staff. Reservations for commercial or profit-making purposes will be charged a fee in accordance with LA CDD and LAII CDD Chapter III: Rules for Amenities Rates, (respectively). The Amenity Manager can reschedule any reservation if requested by the District. The Clubhouse or HFC must be notified if a scheduled reservation cannot be kept so the slot may be re-assigned. Reservations will be held for fifteen (15) minutes past the scheduled start time, after which the Amenity Manager may re-assign the reservation.

LOOKS Wildlife Corner Photo & Article By Barbara Ann Comer The Blue Jay is a familiar bird, common and widespread in the eastern United States. Blue Jays at Lake Ashton tend to be found in the more wooded areas. Often mistakenly called Bluebirds, they are a beautiful blue with striking black and white markings and sport a jaunty crest; male and female look alike. However, they aren't actually blue. The dark pigment in their feathers is melanin and scattering light on the feathers makes them appear blue. Noisy and bold, they utter a variety of vocalizations many of which don't even sound birdlike. This intelligent bird mimics the Red-shouldered Hawk's call well enough to fool even the most astute ornithologist. The common and piercing "jay, jay, jay" alarm alerts other birds that a predator may be nearby. As beautiful and widespread as this brassy songbird is, not one state has chosen it to be their state bird.

Algae development occurs most frequently during the summer months, when rainfall and pond water temperatures rise. There are numerous ways residents may help keep Lake Ashton's Ponds attractive right now. • Avoid overfertilization and careless application. • Remove pet waste from your yard. • Ensure that landscape providers mow lawns with the chute pointing away from the pond bank. These actions will help to reduce nutrient runoff from summer rainfall. When the nutrients in the water get too high, the chance of an algae bloom increases. If an algae bloom occurs in a Lake Ashton CDD pond, the CDD contracts with an aquatics provider to treat the algae biweekly. If there are any questions or concerns, email Matt Fisher at Mfisher@lakeashtoncdd.com. ׉ 7cassandra://KFSjtDlnywgzus2O-h1d1MjLP7Ngl_FrZpux9yijq04*y`dOڜ#x& ׉EoREMINDER TO ALL RESIDENTS: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD RESIDENTS CONDUCT WORK OF ANY KIND ON CDD PROPERTY.

It is daisy-like in appearance with yellow and brown in the center. The flower itself can grow to 12 to 24 inches in height. It is a spreading perennial and will quickly fill a bare spot. It can spread two to four feet. The sunflower does best in full sun and is drought tolerant. In our area it blooms nearly year round. Why plant beach sunflower in your yard? Besides the beautiful flower, it’s a great plant for pollinators, especially butterflies. You needn’t water it much since it likes hot-dry areas. Gardeners can use it for wind erosion protection. The only care is cutting it back in March or April to help promote more growth. For more information visit UF/IFAS Extension and look up wildflowers. FREE IN-HOME ESTIMATES!

Many of the rocks created during or as a result of these classes will find their way to hiding spots throughout LA or to this year's fundraiser on July 4 in connection with the Fourth of July Celebration and Golf Cart Parade. The funds raised will enable us to continue painting and hiding rocks for LA residents to find, enjoy, and share. LA Rockers will meet on May 3 for a "teaching" meeting geared to those who already have experience painting rocks. The meeting on May 24 will be a “free paint” meeting. Specifics will be announced on our Facebook page. Newcomers will be welcome to the "free paint" meeting where one of our administrators will share an orientation to rock painting with them. After the orientation, the newcomers can sit with one of our more experienced painters and try to paint a rock of their own. Newcomers: Before coming to the meeting, it is necessary to contact either MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) or Connie Strassberg (cbs1949@aol.com), so that we know you are coming and can let you know what supplies you will need to bring. You don't have to be a Picasso or a Renoir to be a Rocker - we will teach you how to put a smile on someone's face while enjoying a lovely afternoon with a great group of people. Please note: if a meeting has to be canceled, notification will be posted on the LA Rockers group page on Facebook so please join that page if you have a Facebook account.
