a sweat in the air-conditioned aerobic or spin rooms. Classes are
included for people with a circuit or full-access membership. Class
schedules are available online at
www.lincolnparkdistrict.com. Go to the facilities tab, scroll

Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the Close Up grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will

happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
