Happy Retirement Hella!

Thank you for all you have done these past 23 years! Personally, I will miss Hella at the TSC. Of my 26 ½ years, there are only three years that she hasn’t been just a flight of stairs, a phone call, or a Zoom meeting away. Hella caught the forward vision of TSC quickly and away we went in 1999. Along the way, we picked up numerous star players to join our team. And together, programs for active adults grew in Tallahassee. We tag-teamed at the State and National levels and broadened our vision, as well as impacted other Senior Centers to support their growth. -Sheila Salyer, Manager Tallahassee Senior Services Wishing you lots of happiness in your next chapter! Hella will be at TSC through Thursday, December 29 if you’d like to send congratulations.
