November is a great time to reflect on everything to be thankful for, including beautiful sunny skies and living in a community full of caring friends and neighbors. Don't forget to stop by the Clubhouse Foyer to add what you are thankful for to our "Thankful Board". In this edition of the LA Times, residents will find many opportunities to celebrate the upcoming holidays and give back to the communities surrounding Lake Ashton. Residents will also note that many clubs are resuming monthly meetings. Stop by the Activities Desk to get more info on how to join some of the clubs advertised. Soon Lake Ashton will sparkle with exterior lights and holiday decorations to get everyone in the spirit of the holidays. This is truly the most wonderful time of year … enjoy it! Supervisors met on October 18 and approved several projects that will increase accessibility at the Clubhouse. A permanent pool lift was approved in addition to the installation of a handicap railing at the west entrance to the Clubhouse. A wrap up report of all board actions was sent out on October 22. Please reach out to Christine Wells at cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com with any questions. The next Board of Supervisors Meeting is on November 15, 2021 at 9:30 am in the Clubhouse Ballroom.

Ashton Drive will be getting a bit of “a landscape facelift” soon as well. The month started off with a very well-attended Cornhole Tournament. Our sponsors helped make the event a huge success and, as a result, league play will be beginning, and two more double elimination tournaments will be held at the HFC. One will be the Holiday Classic in December, and another March Maddness (no spelling error). We’re looking forward to getting two additional wooden cornhole sets as soon as they are completed. We had a very successful October Breast Cancer Awareness month. The Walkathon alone netted a total of $400 being sent to the Breast Foundation of Central Florida. The community of Lake Ashton is always so generous to those in need. Tim Taff, who is also a resident, is teaching the Handbuilding Clay Classes. He’s very experienced and welcomes new people to the class on Wednesdays. For more information, call the Activities Desk at 863-595-1562. There is no charge for the classes, and a list of materials for the classes is available. Please stay healthy and enjoy the upcoming holiday season.

November is a traditional time for residents to host family and friends. Remember, when you see a visiting grandchild, they are guests of your neighbors so please extend every courtesy possible. Residents: please be tolerant of extra activity at the pool and other Clubhouse amenities. Those hosting family should remind them to be considerate of residents in this 55 and older community. It is helpful if a resident accompanies their guests at any of the amenities, but is not required. Anyone using amenities at the Clubhouse or HFC should have a Lake Ashton Resident ID Card or Facilities Guest Pass. Register guests at either Activities Desk during business hours. Residents must bring at least one adult guest to sign the form. Renters must have a copy of their rental agreement.

Most newcomers to Lake Ashton are alarmed when they hear wild wails in the middle of the night. This mostly solitary and usually quiet unassuming bird can awaken the marsh with its racket. The limpkin's range in the United States is mainly in Florida and many believe it should be the state bird rather than the Northern Mockingbird. Limpkins can be found at Lake Ashton in the retention ponds searching for snails, frogs and insects. Their preferred food is the apple snail and it's always fun to find the leftover shells with holes in them from the surgery performed by the limpkin. It's a real treat to see limpkins with a line of downy young babies trailing behind their look-alike parents. JOINT AMENITY FACI L ITIES POLICY HIGHLIGHT Each month an excerpt from the Joint Amenity Facilities Policy will be featured in the LA Times. This month outlines the policy regarding reserving facilities at the Clubhouse and HFC. The full Joint Amenity Facilities Policy can be found online at lakeashtoncdd.com or lakeashton2cdd.com under "Additional District Documents". Any questions regarding these policies can be directed to Christine Wells, LA (LW) CDD Community Director (cwells@lakeashtoncdd.com) or Mary Bosman, LA II (WH) CDD Community Dir ector (mbosman@lakeashton2cdd.com). VII. RESERVING FACILITIES Amenity Facilities are available on a first-come, firstserved 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. Reservations are available for up to three (3) hour increments for all facilities listed in the reservation policy, with the exception of the Ballroom and HFC. These can be reserved for periods up to five (5) hours. Longer time increments may be approved by the Amenity Manager.

These will be reviewed semi-annually by the Amenity Manager. The Amenity Manager can reschedule any reservation if requested by a 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 15 minutes past your scheduled start time before reassigning the reservation time slot. ׉ 7cassandra://qbVT0SeJ4pDXorw6QksJNABJ1928YpzieSkSEyeNZcc0P`ayrpXJժayrpXJժ 4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://JmRRHNhJzxDkYXZDnfchN6n5gNDNiMCYt-tU5T3UKsQ;`׉ 7cassandra://4Ne0FZlbdm5-E8kT-B04VMegRLJAe-KaPrXmnHpBml8ͷ`u׉ 7cassandra://L0rqyrxTepDofhss5fIYhi-h3xsIG8PeJ1VjwjPLbVQ0}`׉ 7cassandra://tgq6xWRE42N8Y_9Q-JGr0Ns2r8UyNyAwDcti6OEpi6UDA~͠fayrpXJժjטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://T3PuXynj0hW8vvq_PCqmyNcTqT3aZ5hJwbO3zi6RKkgZ`׉ 7cassandra://gnBa1OrCgRrmZEHXYLnKSWrCc126p0RJT7-75xutbdwq`u׉ 7cassandra://2K4YSK41LLRPEx8_QlmU1c2Xdujrkw08uqULLAcb7Kc)`׉ 7cassandra://Ny9oJ9wutVTtGUnwd6s3wrs1fcCEzFWhYVq3taS_tU8$͠fayrpXJժkנayrpXJժnf9ׁHmailto:admin@lakeashtonhoa.orgׁ ׁ ЈנayrpXJժm̦9ׁHhttp://lakeashtonhoa.orgׁ ׁ Ј׉E LA LOOKS LA ( LW) HOA CORNER By Keith Stevens Thanks to all the Lake Wales HOA members who so promptly responded to the HOA reminders that driveways should be kept free of stains, weeds and mold. Many driveways were cleaned almost immediately after owners received a courtesy reminder that their driveway needed some attention. Many other driveways will be cleaned in the coming days as owners return to Lake Ashton. The new management company will have a monthly focus for compliance as well as keeping an eye out for any situation that might not comply with the community Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. For November the focus will be landscaping. Take a look at your landscaping to confirm that your mulch is adequate and consistent, your beds are free of weeds and the edging is of the approved material. The HOA is seeking to remind owners of the need to comply with the CC&Rs and at the same time be reasonable in giving owners time to correct noncomplying issues. The HOA would prefer not to issue formal “notices of violation”. Those notices can lead to additional costs and inconvenience. Hopefully, a courtesy reminder of a needed correction that may have overlooked will eliminate any need for a formal “notice of violation”. In attempting to send those courtesy reminders, it was discovered that many of you have not told the HOA of new email addresses and sometimes new mailing addresses. So, the HOA has created an opportunity for you to let them know of your communication changes. Next to the HOA mailbox in the Clubhouse Ballroom on the wall along with club and community information, the HOA has provided a “profile update” form. It should make it easy for you to inform the HOA of a new email address or other new or different profile information. If you have some new profile information to share, please pick up a form, fill it out and drop it in the HOA mailbox in the Clubhouse Ballroom. Your email address, particularly, makes it quick and easy for the HOA to send you important information. Emailing also saves the HOA and, ultimately you, money. SUBMITTING ARC REQUESTS ( LW RESIDENTS) By Iris Realmuto, LW ARC Chair All external changes you make to your home require an ARC request and approval prior to starting any project. To submit an ARC request, go to lakeashtonhoa.org, and download the form which can be found under the Documents tab in the Architectural Information section. You can complete the form by hand or on your computer. Then email the completed form to admin@lakeashtonhoa.org. DO NOT USE THE ‘SUBMIT NEW REQUEST’ feature on the website. The form can also be found on the information wall in Clubhouse Ballroom. You can either drop the completed form in the HOA box or have it scanned at the Clubhouse Office prior to dropping it in the HOA box. The deadline for complete ARC request submissions is 5 pm on Wednesday prior to the next ARC meeting. The ARC meets the second & fourth Wednesday of the month. You will be notified of the status of your request within a few days of the meeting. 16 ׉ 7cassandra://L0rqyrxTepDofhss5fIYhi-h3xsIG8PeJ1VjwjPLbVQ0}`ayrpXJժ׉E׉ 7cassandra://2K4YSK41LLRPEx8_QlmU1c2Xdujrkw08uqULLAcb7Kc)`ayrpXJժayrpXJժ4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://E3AVsF8t4Z66Qd3taORqM9V88m5Wequ6JsLokAJIHJ8`׉ 7cassandra://OMx4YyBDNaXoEvPYh4hbWg8ye0fnSWhH1NAkLC81REkͯU`u׉ 7cassandra://KuGJvI5FaspaukODtj-VlzdZWmg74Ys_l1nRJ-RoV4A1`׉ 7cassandra://Rl2oPdTkiGHut9RCRGJJESfL1y79lIotG_P5BdJS5Y0keP͠fayrpXJժoטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://5_R9F-OpNtJhGheT5aaLegVoDQKrqFXRwxDQ7UWABNQPb`׉ 7cassandra://iywoEauVXuvwoZluFJK5igzHTZ4Y7J5nIzl2JSlFZBM͢5`u׉ 7cassandra://XFJ5w9xtfzy1cZj5ANG4rPB0Y0lVD61K7I66Df59I7E1`׉ 7cassandra://lyy9CnhJANBeXjb5ecdYhv3WORUy4qye5MILvDwhqyUP;͠fayrpXJժpנayrpXJժrI!9ׁHhttp://floridabicycle.org/forׁ ׁ Ј׉E SAFETY PEDESTRIAN SAFETY The days are shorter with darker mornings and evenings, so those out walking should consider pedestrian safety and think about how to be as safe as possible on Lake Ashton roads. Residents are all pedestrians at some point during the day, whether walking through a parking lot or walking for exercise. By employing a few simple strategies, walkers can stay as safe as possible and avoid a potentially tragic accident. Don’t miss the Pedestrian & Parking Safety Presentation with LWPD at Monday Coffee on November 8 at 9 am. All vehicles, including golf carts, must obey all stop signs and the 20 mph speed limit throughout Lake Ashton. Drivers, watch for pedestrians at all times. Obeying posted speed limit and traffic signs can help avert a potential tragedy. SMOKE ALARM FACTS By James Schuppe, LA CERT Member Do you know if your smoke alarms work? Have you tested the alarms? Have you changed the batteries (if required) every six months? Daylight Saving Time is a good time to remember to check. Have you purchased and installed new alarms after the 10 year maximum life expectancy? Have you cleaned them by vacuuming? Dust can cause improper smoke detection if left to accumulate, causing malfunctions. Did you know there are special smoke alarms for the hearing impaired that can notify of smoke/fire by using a visual strobe light or vibration? These simple things can prevent a tragic loss if your home catches fire by giving you advance warning to get out. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH By Fay Wood, NW Chief What To Watch For If You Suspect A Crime Sometimes what a witness or victim sees and remembers can be crucial in helping law enforcement solve the crime. When you call 9-1-1, you will be asked various questions. If you saw someone commit a crime, do you think you could accurately describe what they looked like or the vehicle they were driving? Important description information i n c l u d e s g e n d e r, e t h n i c i t y, approximate age, height, weight, build, hair style and color, eye color, facial hair, jewelry, tattoos, glasses, or anything else that would assist in identifying the person. Also note type and colors of clothing — any hat, shirt, jacket, pants, shorts, dress, belt, and shoes? Can you describe a vehicle with license plate and/or numbers , bumper st ickers or damage, colors, year (or year range), or people in vehicle? Jotting this information down ASAP (in your phone or on paper) will help refresh your memory as needed to assist law enforcement. 18 ׉ 7cassandra://KuGJvI5FaspaukODtj-VlzdZWmg74Ys_l1nRJ-RoV4A1`ayrpXJժ׉ECITIZEN’S ASSISTED PATROL (CAP) By Mike Weissberg Please review the following information regarding the rules of the road as they pertain to bicycles. A bicycle is a vehicle and the rider is considered a vehicle driver. Car drivers often try to pass a bicycle at unsafe distances, at unsafe times. The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass to the left thereof at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle. A driver overtaking a bicycle must maintain a horizontal clearance of at least 3 feet [§316.083]. Three feet is a minimum “safe distance” for passing a cyclist under typical urban conditions; when the passing vehicle is large, towing a trailer, or traveling at a much higher speed, greater lateral clearance is needed. To pass a cyclist with safe clearance, it may be necessary for a motorist to enter (at least partially) the next lane, when and where it is safe to do so. For more information, visit the Florida Bicycle Association website at floridabicycle.org/for-motorists/ CAP is always looking for more volunteers to patrol the streets. Come help be the eyes, ears, and p r e s e n c e f o r t h e S h e r i f f ’ s department. Patrols are once a week for two hours. Applications are available in the Clubhouse and HFC. For more information contact Mike Weissberg 863-324-3541 (please leave a message). 19 ׉ 7cassandra://XFJ5w9xtfzy1cZj5ANG4rPB0Y0lVD61K7I66Df59I7E1`ayrpXJժayrpXJժ4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://r5WZpiID6YYoOBkNJ8ApqUjRRfsJXCcnLG26WfFe3pg>`׉ 7cassandra://C7gY9W3mGwdwrVyf6OflbtVAYcOucqmxzEYIWdqCz6Eͬ`u׉ 7cassandra://kYjbBBPjhCFKwj2k8aJSz6izjFDpGDzswSFCqy1kIGA1`׉ 7cassandra://a8YIakT11FsvzMvFVz_f88JxIhZT46anD2BIAq7xM_w!*B͠fayrpXJժsטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://OrBe_uKClDLCUb6DXFoPpQENiPcj_tnOV8Q7STb6tlM`׉ 7cassandra://2W3b0Hrk49PCUDBHvHwdudZb0x9T7YPkP-KFR0JsTwwͣ`u׉ 7cassandra://BMQ4n_aCk6oKfsNZ7rEW-te1JYI09idYl8JjXDmIz94/H`׉ 7cassandra://WwclPj736ZI4SQQmdhuPA8ZO90TDMdnI40gWVa1RNwMg͠fayrpXJժt׉E*MOVIES NOVEMBER 2 — 4 STILLWATER 2021 | PG-13 | 2h 20min Oil-rig roughneck Bill Baker (Matt Damon) ventures into a new world with a complex and unfamiliar legal system when he travels from Oklahoma to France to exonerate his estranged daughter, who's in jail for a murder she insists she didn't commit.

Kathy and Jerry Ryan moved to Lake Ashton from the Kansas City area. They learned of Lake Ashton through their next door neighbors in Kansas City, whose sister Sally and husband Gary Winfrey live here. 32 Born in Milwaukee, Kathy grew up in Chatham, New Jersey and attended Colby Jr. College for Women in New London, New Hampshire. She then graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in French. After a year in Washington D.C. she moved to Kansas City in 1970 and never looked back east until now. After a 10-year stint in real estate she and her then husband decided to open a pizza restaurant featuring St. Louis style pizza. It was a happy popular neighborhood place and little did she realize she would spend the next 34 years working there 24/7. Jerry’s daughter worked there and introduced the two after Kathy’s husband had passed away in 1989. In her spare time she played lots of tennis, biked across Kansas four times, played bridge, and switched over to golf as the years went by, active in several leagues. They hope the i r four ch i ldren and s i x grandchildren, from Seattle, Wisconsin, Cincinnati and Ft. Lauderdale visit often and soak up the sun and the fun here. Please help in welcoming Kathy to the LALGA! UPD A TES FROM THE PRO SHOP By Ron LaVoie, General Manager The Lake Ashton Golf Club has a voluntary Hole-InOne Club that rewards members for making that special shot. Each participant pays $2 to join and that money funds the HIO pot. When a member makes a hole-in-one, they are awarded the amount in the pot, issued as a credit to their club account, so you can celebrate in the Eagles Nest, buy that new driver or simply have a nice credit. Members must let the Pro Shop staff know that they want to be enrolled in the HIO Club — new members are not automatically included. Snowbirds: if you withdrew before leaving and are now returning, let staff know if you want to rejoin. Also, if you make a hole-in-one, don’t forget to email valerie@lakeashtoncdd.com with the date, hole and course number, and picture, to be featured in the LA Times! ׉ 7cassandra://AJmxleGS8Nd1Y7EyX_I1-3gFptZA3YMSOG0LMYiDozQ3`ayrpXJժ׉E(863) 551-3411 *Premium Yearly Maintenance Specials *Expert Service by Certified Technicians * Top quality installations * 10 Year & Warranty on new units parts labor * Special January & February pricing (typically our slower months) Winner Free Estimates & Free 2nd Opinions Goodman • Bryant • Franklin • Grandaire • Trane • Carrier • Lennox- etc We service all makes and models 33 ׉ 7cassandra://-LoDGGBwdP-Bt-YqeyWenLd5OHm9iROsKSJDY8QEWYk>>`ayrpXJժ ayrpXJժ4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://MHkJ3fMNQnAUlPy6o_0sILOOd57N9ZVkgD_9nkatZGcx`׉ 7cassandra://P-9k72dBiTw-6L-jkcxkPm485zzlwg4R-QQdotAv1TE͵`u׉ 7cassandra://svzLg7pCa1PvQSBQdVm0nqCiFZoM2eMS-AwkZuSoz_g/`׉ 7cassandra://DVh7fGnB9bf0cR3QkCYKBCrGeS86I71GBtHRj5QYwIc8͠fayrpXJժטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://Jmf7mBfXX7vdcyzd4D9MLTIPMBQfx3dbwWmYUtSD5mYM`׉ 7cassandra://z4m4tlIcV0JajEWqW5qs2JQimWoAD-uc-ShDSkByi5Ye`u׉ 7cassandra://FUZENkxnjjvFQZSyPYs3TJ4VILN3PAKWh0Nhfl1jL3A#`׉ 7cassandra://8uKVShACX83ttV_kMTS1sfMOB90LEEA6I8XXJzhnFRkKK͠fayrpXJժנayrpXJժD9ׁHmailto:Mkmartin409@yahoo.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E CLUBS LA BELLES By Noreen Guy At September's luncheon the LA Belles members voted in the new Board for the upcoming year 2022.

LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Welcome back snowbirds Bobbi & Carol and a HUGE WELCOME to new members Lisa, Rich, & Debi. It's exciting to see a pool full of all ages and abilities wishing to stay in shape, improve swim strokes, or aiming to participate in one or more of the Florida Senior (age group) Games. The closest one is in Lakeland the last of February or the first of March each year and the plan is to go as team. Someone said LA has the best little senior games swim team in Polk Co. Have you heard that sometimes the club has easy/fun swimming relay races, or an occasional "Wacky Wednesday,” where members wear wacky (weird) clothes and do all Wacky swimming during an entire workout? So, if you can swim and don't like to swim alone, need motivation to improve your physical condition, or just want to be part of a fun group, come check us out on Mon's 6pm, Wed's 1:45pm, or Sat's 10am. How often you can make it is up to you. Swim goggles are recommended. It's also encouraging to see our members participating in other physical activities. In addition to some avid golfers & pickleballers, six members were spotted working hard in the afternoon water exercise group. Of course, the club thinks swimming is the best (and safest) all around exercise! LA BENEFIT ASSOCIATION By Annabel Boogher The LARV Community Benefit Association (official title) is a 501(c)3 charity association formed to raise money to benefit the local schools. Started by the RV but community wide, they have raised over $450,000 given to the local schools through grant requests by the teachers. COVID-19 has put the group on hold plus many of the principal leaders have been sidelined by age and health (though willing to give support). In order to continue and to retain the tax status, new leaders are needed. Please contact Annabel Boogher for more information and/or if you are willing to help. at 863-605-0886 btboogher@aol.com LOOK TO THE SKY By Carolyn Bishop The Lake Ashton Travelers have finally resumed their Chapter Rallies. Over 20 coaches camped out at the lovely Creekside RV Resort in Punta Gorda, Florida October 14 — 18. This rally coincided with the Florida International Air Show that happened to be right next door to this RV Resort. The Air Show Pilots practice right over the RV Park the few days before the actual event. Not only did the group get an amazing view of the airplanes but we could FEEL them all the way to the core! Great food, games and fellowship was had by all. The next Rally in November will be to the Cabana Club RV Resort in nearby Auburndale. If you would like to know more about the FMCA Chapter, please join the group in the Clubhouse Ballroom for the club social held every Tuesday from 3:30 to 5 pm. ׉ 7cassandra://vH2Tg8FMgQAWGHKjlEO_AL4fXJ-Zt_X2HSsNMtNWWAY/`ayrpXJժ%׉E׉ 7cassandra://WRw59U-4tpSLe73dzmCH3kynH5UoRYUjH2UOvYoe_IE0`ayrpXJժ&ayrpXJժ%4FבCטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://Oy_HyTh54pPfdHjEN7fPpdFBSz-Sn78UxN2Zi1eexIo`׉ 7cassandra://w3xopT9upqFy6Lko5-4sN83CCOnvGNm3LPspn_bAv3Aͫh`u׉ 7cassandra://jGeUr2DBa9NC4kbwD43pTS3nxldCE4s49GPYNUog0W0//`׉ 7cassandra://Zf9lCQnOB2hZzox8ZE7sK4EVlPRH9CsoMi1JYCrWJds9͠fayrpXJժטFu׉׉ 7cassandra://U34ACLAkUK-5ML-RzZ3LVb6PU4jYutXHPXAum3-q1noRK`׉ 7cassandra://_6on_nV4W10toM2dZ9oPUUBUnuUsRiHKnOrJRU7Uv-U͕`u׉ 7cassandra://4XWi2qSMjXEtTyouRUjr01Wl6SrfmOkhbtePJTqullo,`׉ 7cassandra://Fs6CvcBBVsKsSb4CiAz1AMY6gIb3EErqRVGu8dXiIr8͠fayrpXJժנayrpXJժځ̞9ׁHmailto:valgeo2@aol.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E bMIND&BODY CLUBHOUSE FITNESS CENTER ORIENTATION November 17 at 1 pm.
