Spring Notes from Trailside

May 17th, 2012

TSC_PMS490and368

Trailside would like to say congratulations to all the Western seniors. We have quite a few on staff and they will be missed greatly.

We have a few (well ONE now and another to come) local Old Trail resident art work on display (& for saleJ). Come in and check out your neighbors talents. If you are interested in displaying any work please feel free to contact Marcia.

It is the beginning of cold drink and smoothie weather! For those of you who love the health benefits and the ‘pick me up’ of the Mate lattes…try them iced! Marcia thinks they are better iced than hot!

We would like you to know that all drinks can be ordered skinny (for that swimsuit soon to be put on), decaf and some even sugar free. We have a lot of sugar free options. Do not be afraid to order your drink with 5 different sets of instructions…we want YOU to get the drink YOU want! Customized is best!

(ie: skinny, half sugar free syrup, half regular syrup, 1/2decaf espresso, ½ regular espresso mocha is not unheard of!)

Our smoothies are ALL FRUIT! They are sweetened with white grape juice and apple juice. No refined sugars. Each one also fills 4 servings of the RDA recommended servings of fruit for the day!  Healthy and refreshing!

Happy hours are still in effect and we look forward to seeing you on the patio enjoying some down time with your friends and family soaking in the best view in Crozet!

An Open House to give the community the opportunity to tour the facility and meet the staff will be held Saturday, April 28 from 10 am until noon. The Open House will also feature free health screenings and children’s face painting.
