OLLI Spring 2025 FINAL - Flipbook - Page 33
President9s Letter
There is no better way to get to know someone than
working together toward a goal. I am so grateful for
the many friends I have made volunteering with OLLI.
I love seeing the brainstorming that goes on in the
Committees to generate and develop ideas for future
classes, study groups and trips. I9ve also seen how
much I learn when I prepare to teach a class or facilitate
a study group. Many hands make light work 4 and
good friends!
I encourage each OLLI member to consider volunteering
in a way that 昀ts with your interests and talents to help
make our very special OLLI even stronger.
