Nominate an inspirational Senior Between ages 60 and 69 To Be Featured on the ArkLaTex 60 Strong Calendar!

Texarkana, TX, June 12, 2021 -- You or someone you know could be featured as a "pin up" in the 2022 ArkLaTex 60 Strong calendar, an exclusive calendar showcasing inspirational "60 somethings" and highlighting ArkLaTex area events and activities. In addition to appearing in the calendar, winners receive "celebrity treatment" with a professional photo shoot and compensation for their modeling time.

Anyone age 18 or older can nominate a friend or family member - age 60 to 69 - who has achieved remarkable levels of fitness, pursued a new hobby or given back to others in some way. Perhaps the candidate is fighting a chronic condition or caring for someone who is.
