OLLI Intersession Events
Need an OLLI fix while we are in recess between quarters? Mark your calendars for these fun events that you can attend without conflicting with OLLI classes:
Community Forum March 15
The upcoming program, Film Festivals: It Takes a Community will occur Monday, March 15 from 10:00 am to noon. Arrive at 9:30 to enjoy refreshments and get a good seat. Interest in this program is expected to be high, since it offers a unique chance to go behind-the-scenes with key members of the Ashland Independent Film Festival team and moderator Jeff Golden for a look at what is involved in planning and producing a film festival. Clips from past and current AIFF films will be shown. Click here for details.

SOAL Presents David Hume Kennerly
How to Score 25% OLLI Discount - Erratum
 As announced in the February LINK, the April 15th event from Jackson County Library Foundation's Southern Oregon Arts & Lecture Series features David Hume Kennerly, Pulitzer Prize Winner and Official White House Photographer. Due to OLLI's partnership with SOAL, OLLI members can save 25% on ticket prices. But, the mechanism for obtaining the discount when ordering tickets has been changed. SOAL has asked us to enter OLLIKEN in the subject line of email ticket reservations or in the discount code box of online ticket purchases (not just "OLLI"). Click here for details about the event. There should soon be a box at the top of the www.jclf.org page for ordering tickets online.
