OLLI Tidbits
Summer classes started June 17th. It's not too late to sign up. Many courses still have space available. Check the Catalog for availability. Note that this term requires a $25 fee.
2013-2014 annual enrollment starts on August 1. There will be a modest increase in the annual fee to $125. This is the first such increase in a dozen years against a backdrop of a vastly expanded program of courses and events, along with member growth that has required additional classroom space, equipment and staff. There are about 110 courses tentatively scheduled for this fall.
