TSC celebrates 40 years
Today the center offers 180 activities and programs monthly
at TSC and 13 locations throughout the community
Sheila Salyer
How does a place continue to grow stronger
and more like home after 40 years?
As the Tallahassee Senior Center’s fourth di-
rector for 22 years, it might be that this “place” is
less like a job and more like seeing friends and
family every day. It might be that participants feel
like they are almost at home when they are here.
They meet friends who fill the gaps of loneliness
and isolation, and grow stronger in mind and
body. Although growing older (as we all do),
many of these friends say they’ve never felt more
alive.
It might be that every month and day is differ-
ent. And it pays to keep moving forward. With
support of the City Commission, an amazing
staff, and dedicated volunteer leaders, we keep
expanding.
It might be that the TSC is built on a strong
foundation, beginning in 1973 when Mayor Joan
Haggen appointed Margaret Lynn Duggar to find
a suitable senior center location. Five years later,
Mayor Neal Sapp performed the ribbon cutting
opening the first floor of the “Old Armory” for
seniors in 1978.
It might be that the TSC Foundation provides
an avenue for partnerships and resources to help
sustain and expand programs. Thousands of do-
nors and business sponsors join us in our mission
to provide opportunities for active aging. In 2003,
the Leon County Commissioners provided fund-
ing to support senior center programs in now, all
six of the County Community Centers.
Today, TSC is a center without walls offering
180 activities and programs monthly at TSC and
13 locations throughout the community. Active
adults enjoy art, lifelong learning, fitness and rec-
reation, as well as several signature events. To-
gether, we impact almost 5,000 people each

month. We also look forward to adding a second
senior center in the near future and impacting
even more lives.
On August 28, we celebrated TSC’s 40 years of
active living, optimal aging, and social fitness.
Almost 50 nonagenarian participants attended
as our guests of honor. They are living examples
of our mission. I am grateful to call many of these
seniors friends.
What makes TSC stronger and more like home
after all these years?
Well, it just might be all of the above. We en-

SENIOR CAR SAFETY AND LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION
DOES YOUR CAR FIT YOU?
The Car Fit program is designed to
help persons learn what adjustments
they can make to their car so it better fits
them. It is an educational safety pro-
gram created by the American Society
on Aging and developed jointly with the
American Automobile Association
(AAA), AARP, and the American Occu-
pational Therapy Association. Volun-
teers will help you discover:
❚ What is the clear line of sight over
your steering wheel?
❚ What is the safe distance between
you and your airbag?
❚ What is the proper position of your
seat and all mirrors?
❚ What is the proper use and fit of
your safety belt?
*To find an upcoming Florida CarFit
event near you, please call 1-855-409-
0200 or visit www.car-fit.org.
MEDICATIONS MAY EFFECT YOUR
DRIVING
Drugs that affect the brain, nerves,
and emotions may affect driving and
your ability to perceive hazards on the
road and respond quickly. If you are on
three (3) or more medications, or a new
medication, talk with your pharmacist
or physician, to see if your medication
(s) might interfere with your ability to
drive. Medications that should be
checked, include, but are not limited to:
antihistamines, seizure medications,
antipsychotics, antidepressants, anti-
spasm medications, tranquilizers, mus-
cle relaxants, pain medications and
sleeping pills. *To learn more, visit
www.seniordriving.aaa.com/re-
sources-family-friends/know-when-
be-concerned/driving-medications/.
DRIVER SAFETY COURSE
Since our generation began driving,
roads, cars, and laws have changed. To
respond, the AARP four-hour refresher
course will bring you up-to-speed on
many changes. Participants have noted
that taking the class has improved their
driving and has helped them under-
stand when it’s time to retire from driv-
ing. Any Florida driver, 55 years of age or
older, is eligible to complete a
driver safety course; taking
the course will allow a partic-
ipant to receive a cost reduc-
tion on their car insurance
for three years. *To find
classroom or online courses
available near you, visit
www.seniordriving.aaa.com
or call 1-866-659-1317.
DEVELOP A
TRANSPORTATION PLAN
In order for people to “age
in place” comfortably, they
need access to transporta-
tion for when they retire from
driving (or can no longer
drive safely). Unfortunately,
those with limited transpor-
tation options, may continue
to drive when it is no longer
safe, or stop driving all to-
gether and stay home, which
can lead to isolation and de-
pression. Therefore, is im-
portant to develop a, person-
alized, transportation plan: 1)
make a list of every place you
like to go; 2) document how
far it is from your home and
how often you go there; 3) research what
types of local transportation services
are available to help get you there (re-
member to include buses, family and
friends, volunteer driver programs, sen-
ior centers, or other resources from this
guide); and, 4) see whether it is possible
for you to safely walk there and back
(consider whether the sidewalks are
good repair, how many streets you will
need to cross and the width of the cross-
ing, and whether it is a safe environ-
ment). Taking all these things into con-
sideration will be a great start for plan-
ning your retirement from driving. *For

Gail Sokolow McDonald, of Allegro Senior Living, stopped by the August Senior Services Advisory Council meeting to
deliver a “big” and generous check on behalf of Allegro’s 7th Annual “League of Our Own” – a summer bowling league
that consists of 160 businesses and medical professionals from Tallahassee. Capital Lanes donated a portion of the
proceeds along with sponsorships from Kraft Nissan, Heuler-Wakeman Law Group, P.L., Compass Community Pharmacy,
Florida Assisted Living Association (FALA), Visiting Angels and donations of products from The Gem Collection,
Typo'Graphics, and Home Instead Senior Care.
