Join us in welcoming Michael Body as Program Supervisor at the Senior Center!
Originally from England, Mike came to the United States over 30 years ago to study at Florida State University. After completing his graduate degree, he started work as an Assistant Supervisor at Trousdell Gymnastics Center, and later became supervisor for the program.
Mike shares, "I am excited to undertake some new challenges at the Tallahassee Senior Center, and have already met some wonderful people among the staff and participants. I enjoy international travel (but not the flying part that much), reading (mystery, history, and humor), gardening (I am definitely improving, and grow more than I kill now), food (Indian food is a firm favorite, although my stomach doesn't always agree), and working out (which seems to be more social time than physical as the years pass)."
TSC Director Sheila Salyer says, “We are very happy to welcome Mike to Team Senior Center. Following Hella’s retirement after 23+ years, it was important to select someone with Mike’s level of experience. He brings with him 29 years with the City of Tallahassee and a fresh set of eyes to our well-established programs. Please stop by his office on the 2nd floor and introduce yourself.”

We had a blast last week with exciting summer activities. Our week started off with an Ice Cream Social, where we enjoyed delicious ice cream, fun music and socialized with friends. Later in the week, we went tubing down the Ichetucknee River, which was a thrilling experience that everyone enjoyed!

Talk about a Win – Win! Charitable donations not only support a cause close to your heart (like the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation), but you may also receive a tax deduction for your generous gift.
By using proper tax planning strategies, charitable contributions can reduce three kinds of federal taxes: income, capital gains and estate taxes. Consult with your financial advisor about tax benefits of charitable giving.
