FROM MICHELLE
I am so excited to welcome you back to the Tuckahoe Senior Center. I am truly looking forward to sharing your time through the activities, special events, and trips we have planned and enjoying the fun and laughter the center offers our community. I was born and raised in the Bronx where I still reside, but I am avidly familiar with Tuckahoe and the surrounding areas both personally and professionally. I am honored to be a mom to my daughter Abby, and we have a 6-year-old pup named Dakota Levi who brings us much joy, and we are proud to be a military family. We often travel and embark on family road trips as we enjoy the adventure of exploring new places. My daughter and I love attending concerts together, which we do often. My happy place is the beach! And fun fact, I love country music!
Professionally, I have many years of corporate experience planning large scale events for educators and medical professionals, in addition to over 14 years of volunteer service on Abby’s schools’ PTO Executive Committees and Boards, where I was responsible for planning fundraising events and galas, and school-wide programming events. I also serve as Operations Manager on the board of Secret Santas Charity directed by Lisa Jones. I have a background in art & photography in addition to health & wellness and athletic training. My interests and experiences have been diverse, which I know will come in very handy as the Director of TSC. I look forward to lending my ability to leading a successful & enjoyable center experience for each of you. I truly look forward to our year ahead together. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and I will see you soon!

Tuckahoe Senior Citizens:
Our Story
Tuckahoe Senior Citizens was established in 1970 and was the first program of its kind in Westchester County.
Our mission is to reduce the instances of isolation and loneliness often found in the senior population. Tuckahoe Senior Citizens provides older members of local neighborhoods the enjoyment of participating in an active community of peers while maintaining connections to a wider world beyond their own homes and families.
Our philosophy is based on the premise that aging is a normal developmental process; that people need peers with whom they can interact and are available as a source of encouragement and support; and that senior adults have the right to a voice in determining matters in which they have a vital interest.
​
The Senior Citizens Council oversees the administrative functions and activities of both the Tuckahoe Senior Citizens and the Bronxville Senior Citizens. The volunteer board is responsible for raising the funds to pay the salaries of the professional directors of both the Tuckahoe and the Bronxville Seniors and of an administrative assistant, and to provide financial support for some of the programming and services.
​
The Senior Citizens Council (SCC) is a community-based organization established in 1970 by a coalition of local organizations who recognized a growing need among seniors in the area for professionally run programs and services.
