A Big Welcome to our New
Art Coordinator!
Originally from Tallahassee, Heath Hilary McRae brings over 20 years of professional experience from across the country and globe back to Tallahassee as the new Tallahassee Senior Center Art Program Coordinator. Her career has taken her across the country and world working with clients in the art, fashion, and entertainment world. Heath returned to Tallahassee to be near family. Her love of seniors, passion for our mission, and “fascination with the depth of learning that is at ones’ disposal at any age” is what attracted Heath to the Art position. Her organizational skills, business skills, and creativity make her a wonderful fit to run the Art Program. We are excited about Heath joining the Senior Center Team!
Come by and meet Heath at the Art Reception this Friday!

You know that great feeling when you are able to make a difference in someone's life? Imagine making a difference to thousands of people! For years, seniors have relied on the Tallahassee Senior Center to remain active, while developing friendships and lasting connections.
Our ability to bring diverse and engaging programs is greatly helped by your generous support. You make it possible to provide services people need, want and love. For that we are grateful! While things changed this past year, TSC has been hard at work, continuing to provide programming for active living and healthy lifestyles, while reducing feelings of loneliness. With opportunities to stay fit, learn, and create, seniors tell us that these programs have given them something to look forward to!
This would not be possible without you.
We invite you to join us in supporting the well-being of older adults in our community.

Updated COVID Practices
Participants are encouraged, but not required to wear a mask at the TSC or our neighborhood sites. Staff, volunteers, vendors and contractors are required to wear a mask when it is not possible to be at least 6 feet away from each other.
To be respectful of each other, please continue to follow these guidelines:
a. Do not attend an activity if you are sick or have symptoms which include a fever, cough and shortness of breath.
b. Practice social distancing when possible.
c. Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
If you test positive for COVID-19 and have attended a TSC activity within the past 14 days, please notify a TSC staff person ASAP. TSC staff will notify others in the class to the best of our ability. Thus, it is imperative that everyone scan or sign in for every session.
If you think you have been Exposed to COVID-19 which, according to the CDC, means in close contact with a person (within approximately six feet) with a symptomatic lab-confirmed COVID-19 case for a prolonged period of time (usually more than 15 minutes), please refer to these actions:
Fully vaccinated individuals:
· No quarantine requirement
· Is recommended to get tested 3-5 days after exposure.
· Must continue to monitor for symptoms
Unvaccinated individuals must quarantine as described below and may not attend a TSC activity until the following criteria is met:
o With testing: Quarantine for seven (7) days after the last contact with the individual testing positive for COVID-19 and receive a negative COVID-19 test (test must occur on day 5 or later after the exposure). You may return after receiving a negative COVID-19 test and following 7 days.
o Without testing: Quarantine for 14 days after the last contact with the individual testing positive for COVID-19. You may return after 14 days.
If you have symptoms – do not attend a class or activity.
Thank you for following these guidelines in the best interest of trying to keep everyone as safe as possible, and maintain a healthy environment at the TSC and our program sites.
Take care & stay safe,
Sheila Salyer
Senior Services Manager/Executive Director
