🏆 ANOTHER WIN for Azalea Trace! 🏆

We’re thrilled to share that Chef James Fontaine and his talented team placed 3rd in Judges’ Choice at the Pensacola EggFest!

This is a huge milestone — after four years of participating, it’s Azalea Trace's first time breaking into the Top 10, and we couldn’t be more proud!

Pensacola Eggfest, presented by KIA Autosport is a 100% volunteer-led event supporting local charities, and we love being part of something that brings people together through and great community spirit.

👨‍🍳 Chef James wowed the judges with a standout dish:
Lamb Kofta with Garlic Hummus, Red Pepper Coulis, and Dill White Sauce — a true showstopper!

👏 Big shoutout to the incredible support team: Kristin Bonnell, Caitlyn Steward, and Taylor Daniels for helping make this win possible.

Way to go, Team Azalea Trace! 🌟🍽️

Azalea Trace is celebrating a sweet victory! 🥇🍈

Our talented culinary team proudly took first place in the inaugural Key Lime Dessert Bake-Off, benefiting Defenders Of Freedom Florida held at Bamboo Wi***es in Pensacola – put on by the Krewe of SWAT.

This community event featured a variety of creative key lime desserts from local chefs, live music, and celebrity judges—all in support of post-9/11 veterans.

Our very own Caitlyn Steward wowed the judges with her key lime mousse cup, earning top honors for Azalea Trace. Director of Culinary, Kristin Bonnell, was there cheering her on and celebrating this outstanding achievement.

👏 Congratulations to Caitlyn on her incredible win, and to our entire culinary team for representing Azalea Trace with such talent and pride!

✨ The 2025 Acts Chaplains' Conference (Sept. 22–25) was a remarkable gathering that brought together all Acts Chaplains at the Corporate Services Center. 🙌

🎤 Outstanding speakers — all from within Acts, including several chaplains — delivered impactful presentations that stirred hearts and minds. 🙏

This conference not only celebrated the chaplaincy ministry but also reignited a shared vision for spiritual leadership across the organization. The days were filled with powerful moments of reflection, worship, and fellowship — a time of deep connection, inspiration, and renewal. 🤝❤️
