In case you missed the earlier announcement about ConversationConnections, here's the scoop. Conversation Connections is a new opportunity for social connections among OLLI members. In a nutshell, these are one-time get-togethers with a specific topic of conversation. No preparation, not even a teacher, just someone to facilitate the exchange and give everyone a chance to talk about something that interests them. Participation is for OLLI members only, and groups will be small (15-20 members maximum) in order to facilitate conversation and connection. RSVPs are required and on a first response basis. Locations vary.

OLLI 25th Anniversity
Honoring OLLI's Past Presidents
This week we honor Larry Kellogg (2008-2009). Larry is an astronautical engineer. He began his OLLI experience teaching astronomy. On the Council, he was vice president, president, and director of fundraising. During his year as president, OLLI partnered with the National Science Foundation, which fostered the teaching of science, and the Council appointed liaisons to each committee, which improved managementand enabled refinement of OLLI’s curriculum. Also, OLLI added rooms D and E, additional bathrooms, and we formed our partnership for parking at the Lutheran Church. Click here for a link to the video interview with Larry.
