Council Changes...
...And Thanks to Volunteers
Congratulations to the newly elected Council members Stan Druben, Charlie Pagani and Lucy Strasburg.   Thanks to outgoing Council members Cliff Edwards, Larry Kellogg and Allison Renwick for their hard work and guidance over the past three years and to our instructors and the many members of our operational committees.  Active participation by Council members, instructors and those who serve on the various committees helps keep OLLI at SOU dues among the lowest in the country.  Imagine what our dues would be if we had to pay administrative staff and instructors for the time donated this past year, conservatively estimated at over 10,000 hours!
