TSC's Newest Class Kicks Off This Week

There is a new TALL class in town! TALL, an initiative in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce program - Leadership Tallahassee - brings together an actively engaged group of seniors with community leaders.

"By participating in interactive activities, members of the class find they are better equipped to continue to effect positive change and growth in the community," said Hella Spellman, TALL coordinator and assistant supervisor at TSC. Spellman also pointed out, "seniors enrich their own lives through lifelong learning." TALL class members assemble weekly for eight weeks to share varied life experiences and gain an understanding of how best to apply their unique skills to local needs.

Members of this year's class include: Ann Cleare, Lynne Corbett, Nancy Daws, Fred Forsythe, Carolyn Forsythe, Shirley Gooding-Butler, Karen Hill, Sue Johns, Barbara Judd, Ted Judd, Patsy McCall, Reid Moon, Suzanne Moon, Kathleen Petitte, Jane Quinton, and Gena Varn.
