OLLI Annual Meeting
OLLI Annual Meeting
In the interest of staying home and saving lives, OLLI's Annual Meeting was virtual this year. Meeting invitations went out last Friday, the last day of the term. If you missed the email, scoop yourself a bowl of ice cream and click here to listen in and catch up.

To view it, you do not need to sign into Dropbox where the video is hosted or download the large file. Just click on the arrow on the video. You may wish to expand the show to full screen using the option in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Hint: the course count will leave you salivating even more than for the ice cream that has been a traditional part of our Annual Meetings.
