The ladies of Jacaranda Trace love to be pampered, and who doesn't? The Mary Kay Beauty Workshop provided free services to our residents, such as facials, and offered a table full of products available for purchase. Come see the pleasures of residence at JT, where workshops like the above are only the beginning of luxury.

Longboat Key is home to Dry Dock Grill, one of Southwest Florida's best kept secrets for fresh seafood and waterfront dining. This historical restaurant is popular with locals, professional athletes, celebrities and visitors of all sorts to Longboat Key. Residents enjoyed their famous Grouper, Yellowfin Tuna and Snow Crab clusters!

Pumpkin Pie
What makes a room smell better then Baked Pumpkin Pie?   If you carved a Pumpkin but forgot to save it for Baking, there’s still a way to have your pie.
Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 eggs
• 1 (15 ounce) can 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can Evaporated Milk

Directions
1.                Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2.                Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
3.                Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)

Community Outreach is of the utmost importance to Jacaranda Trace staff and residents. We have been fortunate enough to partner with All Faiths Food Bank in raising funds for the BackPack for Kids Program. Twice a month, the food bank delivers non-perishable items to Jacaranda Trace. Our residents and the Arts & Leisure Department pack the items into bins, and the food is later arranged in Backpacks.  Eventually these are handed off to students in need of meals. This volunteer activity is just one more step in bringing child hunger to an end, and Jacaranda Trace is a part of that action!

We live in technology-driven world, which is why Arts & Leisure partners with the Adult & Community Education Center to bring our residents classes that will help them master the latest computer advances. In October, classes were offered which taught on subjects such as "Understanding Facebook," and "Email and Internet Basics." Thanks to these courses, many of our residents now feel more comfortable surfing the web, connecting with old friends and communicating via email with children and grandchildren.
