“REAL GUSTO PLUS ONE”
Sunday, October 14, 2012 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
at the
Tallahassee Senior Center 1400 N. Monroe St. ~ (850) 891-4000
~No charge~
~Hors d’oeuvres~
Real Gusto Comes Later: How Professional Women Experience Retirement is a recently-published compilation of the perspectives of 15 accomplished women, many of whom live here in the Capital City. Several of the authors—Fanchon Funk, PhD, Freddie Groomes-McLendon, Marjorie Turnbull, Dr. Joel Dawson and Dr. Ruth Hobbs— will be on the Senior Center stage to talk about what they’ve learned from each one’s unique brand of retirement. Add the wit and unique outlook of newspaper publisher Mike Pate, and this promises to be an unforgettable hour.
The authors will talk about transitioning to a “retirement” after fulfilling careers. Their engaging stories, anecdotes and lessons are based on wide-ranging experiences—both past and present— “achieving gusto through participation in civic and social organizations” and living their dreams.
Mike Pate, former publisher of the Tallahassee Democrat for Knight-Ridder and member of the Knight Creative Communities Institute advisory board, joins the Real Gusto women to discuss redefining oneself during retirement—and succeeding handsomely.

Participate in Spain’s Great Debate and
Florida’s Native Peoples Re-enactment!
“Spain’s Great Debate and Florida’s Native Peoples” will be the culmination of four
days of work by one of the challenging courses of L3X. Students who participated
in all four classes will have the option of performing “The Great Debate” with
Theatre with a Mission at the closing reception!
In August 1550—10 years after De Soto’s trip through Florida, competing opinions
about Native Americans dramatically clashed in Spain. The king declared a
moratorium on all explorations in the New World until questions about the basic
morality of such ventures could be publicly debated. Experts gathered to present
their most persuasive arguments and rebut opposing views.
Spain’s Great Debate of 1550—the first great debate about human rights in history—may help us rediscover Florida’s past, come to grips with issues still crucial in Florida’s present and re-envision Florida’s future. The four-day class and performance at the L3X closing will prove to be compelling and thought-provoking.
