This Friday: A "Fantastic" Movie Matinee
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the newest adventure in Wizarding World, opening nationally this Friday, November 16, and the Funds Committee has arranged a special showing for us at the Ashland Street Cinema. Fantastic Beasts is a creation of JK Rowling, best-selling author of the Harry Potter series. Word is that the characters, special effects, and magical beasts alone are reason enough to see it. This showing is generously underwritten by Coming Attractions Theaters, and all funds raised will benefit the OLLI Annual Fund and scholarship programs. $15.00 at the door, cash or check only (no credit cards), please. Popcorn and a drink are included for the first 100 guests. Non-members are welcome--invite your friends to come along as we celebrate fall term. Doors open at 12:30; the show begins at 1:00. Click here for trailers and more.
Advance registration is appreciated, but not required. See you at the movies!

Murder at Cafe Noir
cast members
The Murder at Cafe Noir fundraiser for the renovation of Campbell Center raised about $14,000, net of event costs covered by a generous anonymous donor. Countless hours were donated by OLLI Improv Players, instructor Karen Campbell, producer Lorraine Vail and other support crew. Click here for the playbill for more details of this event and its participants and click here and here for more cast photos.

We’re on our way to ensuring that all the Campbell Center classrooms mirror the high standard of Room A and the classrooms on our Medford campus!
