I’m very pleased to report that our OLLI membership as of September 16, 2021, is 1,119 members. This is an increase of 88 members over this same date last year. We ended up with 1,362 members for the entire three terms last year. Of those, 1,008 have re-enrolled to date and we have 111 new members.
We are very fortunate that a large majority of our instructors have successfully converted to the online format.
However, our budget projections for 2021-2022 are based on a membership of 1,650 members, a forecast prepared when we expected in-person classes to resume in fall 2021. Council will be reviewing our budget and the probable number of members at our October meeting.
We’re looking forward to an exciting year of interesting courses, thought-provoking conversations, and informative lectures. Members can participate from anywhere, so let’s all invite our friends and family to join us in enjoying the enriching opportunities of OLLI membership.
John Ferris, OLLI Council President
