Winter 2016 Registration Now in Progress
One Week Left to Participate in Course Request Registration
Whether you use the online registration system or manual forms, your course requests must be received by no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, November 30, in order to be included in the computerized course assignment lottery. Consider holiday mail delays if mailing a request form. Note that the office will be closed November 25 to November 27. Avoid stress; don't wait until the last minute.

After you receive your confirmed course assignments, you can add or drop courses during Late Registration that starts December 14.

New Course Catalog Format
We've received many compliments on the look of the new catalog format. However, its benefits go much deeper than the upgrade in appearance:
  • Member convenience; the course materials are now contained in one place that can serve as a reference throughout the term
  • Showcase for the OLLI program with prospective instructors and grantors
  • Vehicle for sponsor and donor recognition
  • Return of some features that had been provided in OLLI's now defunct LINK newsletter
Best of all, we anticipate that the change will actually have a positive financial impact on OLLI. There are some production savings, such as the elimination of an envelope and the cost for stuffing separately produced materials, and there are some revenue generating opportunities with grantors, sponsors and donors. If you have ideas for features that you'd like to see included in the new format, use the online suggestion box or email the office at olli@sou.edu.

Spring 2016 Course Proposals
The online course proposal system goes live on December 1. Courses are scheduled as proposals are received, so instructors optimize the chances of getting preferred dates and classrooms by submitting early. Need help? Consult the Teaching at OLLI information on the website or contact the office. The deadline for proposals is December 31. 

Invitation to French Caroling Class
The OLLI French Caroling class will stage a "sing-along" in our classroom on Wednesday, December 9, from 3:30 to 5:00 pm, with a break for tea and cookies. All are invited; singing is not required. You are welcome to bring a tiny treat to share. For more information, email Louis Kohler or call 541-552-0495.

Stay Connected Over the Break--Send Us a Postcard!
Whether you're traveling somewhere exotic or hanging out here in the Rogue Valley, send us a postcard. We'll scan the picture side of it and post it on OLLI's Facebook page with your first name and first initial of your last name.
