Carol Fallin,
Program Coordinator II

Hometown: Overland Park, Kansas

Y Start Date: December 2016

Hobbies: Spending time with my husband and family. My kids are currently on both coasts and my grandchildren are in Florida, so regular visits to see them. I also enjoy outdoor activities like walking and biking and working jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, word searches and boggle search.

Favorite part of working at the Y: “I love the AOA (active older adults) community. It is good to see them doing activities that keep them healthy. I took care of my parents for a number of years prior to their deaths. I tried to incorporate some healthy activities but they were limited due to health conditions. It was good to come to the Y and see an older population pursuing healthy choices."
