Great Programs Happen
Because of Great Ideas
You’re invited to attend our committee meetings.
OLLI welcomes everyone to join our volunteer ranks
and we have a wide variety of ways to get involved.
We always need hosts for classes and study groups,
members to deliver brochures, and, of course,
instructors and facilitators. Our committees meet
throughout the year to plan OLLI programs, no
experience or rsvp need - drop in and join us!
