On behalf of the OLLI Leadership Council, OLLI Staff, and OLLI’s most active volunteers, we’re excited to share our new offerings. We hope that you will join us at our Winter Open House on January 4th, which will take place in the WCC Morris Lawrence Building’s Atrium from 10 a.m. - Noon. Thinking it’s time for a Road Trip? Check out our theme, and join us for warm drinks, warm compa- ny, and a fun day while you discover opportunities to be engaged at OLLI. More information can be found on page 10. We also want to make you aware of a new registra- tion process at OLLI for this term. The good news is that you have several weeks to register. In an effort to eliminate the stress and rush to register for OLLI pro- gramming, and to make it a more equitable process, OLLI will now conduct a lottery for every oversub- scribed class. Please see pages 8 - 9 for a full expla- nation of the new process. OLLI is also happy to share that scholarships are avail- able for all of our programming, including, for the first time, OLLI Out of Town offerings. Please contact the OLLI office to request a scholarship. I’d like to thank the OLLI staff, Assistant Director Ben Richards and Administrative Assistant Julie Haines, for all that they do every day to support the work of OLLI.
