OLLI Open House Recap - We've Got Pictures!
We Hope You Were Among the 600 Attendees at the July 10 Event
The second annual OLLI Open Houses was a huge success. We estimate that over 600 OLLI members and guests attended the event at the SOU Stevenson Union. They got a sneak preview of the 115 courses offered this fall, heard a keynote address on healthy aging, had the opportunity to interact with 15 OLLI faculty and 2 dozen community organizations, and enjoyed refreshments. Watch our "home movies" -- a video and slideshow. You may recognize some faces --maybe even your own! 



List of door prize winners here. Thanks to the many volunteers and OLLI staff who contributed their time and talents. Our sponsors, Asante Ashland Community Hospital, Rogue Valley Manor, SOU, and The Springs at Veranda Park, underwrote all event-related expenses. Please thank them.
Earlier Winter 2016 Course Proposal Deadline 
Winter Course Proposals Accepted August 1 to August 31

In order to have the Winter 2015 course catalog produced in time for Winter term registration, course proposals must be submitted between August 1 and August 31. The proposal form goes online by 8:00 am on on Saturday, August 1. The sooner you submit your proposal, the better chance you have of getting your preferred day, time, and room assignment. OLLI's staff, Curriculum Committee, and Communications & Community Outreach Committee are working hard behind-the-scenes to enhance OLLI's catalog, including a major design upgrade that will combine course information and membership forms into one publication and ultimately reduce costs.
