I entered there September contest for planks. The form actually says planks. On the 1st day on September I asked how did the contest work and a man at the front desk which should be on camera jumped down and showed me different ways to do several planks. He said just do your planks and keep your time your able to last and place on form.I think I lasted 5 maybe 10 minutes to start. I contined to try and got to 27 minutes at the end of the month.

I’ve lived in Carrollton 35 years. For the last 18 years I have been a senior. Our senior center is severely lacking in activities compared to the Plano senior center. I keep checking back in to the Carrollton senior center from time to time over the years, but it is still inadequate. That’s why I drive 17 miles one way, three times a week to participate in activities over in Plano. The city of Carrollton could learn a lot about how to create a vibrant senior center by following...
