Did you know that your local Leadership Council has been working all fall to put together these courses? We meet monthly throughout the year to brainstorm course ideas, potential instructors and class locations. We also work on ideas for special events, such as picnics, getting the word out, and most recently, trip ideas. If you are interested in getting more involved, please let us know! Your OLLI can reach its full potential with everyone's involvement!
