Location Change for Curriculum Committee
OLLI Class Curriculum Committee Meetings
Wednesdays, November 15 and
29
9:00 - 11:00 a.m.
PEORIA NEXT INNOVATION CENTER, 801 W. MAIN STREET
All are invited to attend the Class Curriculum Committee Meetings on Wednesdays, November 15 and 29.
Please note that the location of the meetings has been changed to the Peoria Next Innovation Center, 801 W. Main Street. The building, located about five blocks east of campus, has plentiful, free parking.
During tomorrow's meeting, we will review class ideas from last week's brainstorming session and begin to select prospective classes.
Attending these meetings is a great way to learn more about OLLI and the class planning process, connect with your fellow OLLI members, hear fresh ideas for future classes, and even suggest ideas of your own, if you like! You choose your own level of involvement - no contribution to the process is too small.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
