We hope that you have taken time to visit the newly designed TBA website but if not please visit  www.tallyba.com.

Our Online Membership Directory is currently being downloaded for a print version so it is very important that ALL members review the online directory. if you see items that need to be updated please log in to your page and make the necessary changes this week. 

After Friday, we will assume that all members have reviewed their online directory and that the information on file with the association is correct. 

For changes to the database, please email me at lynne.edwards@tallyba.com

Much thanks to all of the TBA members who have offered one of our members a helping hand as he and his family continue to rebuild their lives after a devastating home fire. 

The family is still in need of home to live in for at least 2 years. If you have knowledge of a 4 bdrm/2 bath home located in the Northeast area of Tallahassee, please contact the TBA office. Send us details and contact and we will forward to Mark and Ramona. 

Please continue to keep the Worley family in your prayers. The TBA has set up a collection site for members to donate gift cards, monetary and household items. Please contact the office if you would like to make a donation at 850.385.1414 or email me at lynne.edwards@tallyba.com
