Special Thanks!
OLLI would like to thank its Creative Retirement Exploration Weekend (CREW) Real Estate Tour Guide, Sandra Brooks for volunteering her time and energy to making our participants feel welcome and introducing them to Asheville.
"I Love to work with Buyers and pride myself in LISTENING to what they say and helping them  narrow down their choices. My 26 years of experience helps me navigate through the entire process once a home is chosen."
CREW helps those considering relocation in retirement examine all their options carefully and make an informed decision about this major life transition. |

Dear OLLI Members,
We are closing the Reuter Center and the OLLI office all next week (July 28 - August 1) so that our staff and volunteers can concentrate on managing all of the final details and implementation of the program for the Southern Regional Lifelong Learning Meeting. As we host this meeting, we will highlight all of the wonderful programs and facilities our members and staff enjoy and make possible all year round.
For the 2014 Southern Regional Lifelong Learning Meeting, over 150 people from more than 45 organizations across the country will arrive on July 30 and stay until August 1. They will have the opportunity to learn during twenty-four presentations, including many that highlight some of the unique programs and methods of working. We will also have opportunities to learn from other organizations. Working on this meeting has required the time and talent of people from every part of our organization, and it is our expectation that our efforts will improve our programming and make a positive contribution to lifelong learning throughout the region.
We are very proud of the work that all of us do together to provide opportunities to thrive in life's second half and welcome this opportunity to showcase our wonderful program. Thank you for understanding,
Catherine Frank
Executive Director
