Because of early deadlines, I’m writing this spring brochure letter to you as we prepare for Thanksgiving. Spring should be a time we are thinking about gardening, warmer weather, and outdoor fun, and I hope you are doing all of that. But, I also want to refect a minute on what I’m thankful for during this unusual OLLI year.

I am thankful for instructors who have been willing to learn a whole new way to teach, and have made their classes enriching and fun through the various tools Zoom provides. I am thankful for our members who trusted OLLI to provide the same high-quality courses you enjoy when we are in-person, and gave this year a try. I’m thankful for Zoom, and the other technologies available to us so that we could continue with the OLLI program rather than closing until the pandemic ends. I’m thankful for the OLLI staff, who have learned new things and found new ways to support this program that is important to so many in our community. As I said in the fall, 10 years ago we would have had to say “we’ll see you when the pandemic ends.” Thankfully, that has not been our message!

All spring courses and bonus events will be offered via Zoom, and you’ll also see we are able to offer a few hiking courses as well, with certain restrictions. I hope you’ll enjoy looking through this brochure, and that you’ll fnd some courses, Friday bonus events, and other opportunities for which you are thankful. I look forward to seeing you in class!

We are celebrating spring’s arrival with photos from our Fall20 Macro & Close Up Photography course. Now is a great time to dust off our cameras and get outside. Many thanks to the class for sharing their talents.

Cover photo by Ann Brown. Other photo contributors include Pat Hansen, Linda Hosek, Dan Scieszka, Carol Paulk and Sabrina Walker.

Policy 2012.1: OLLI (Classroom) Code of Conduct Topics included within the OLLI curriculum may evoke emotional and visceral reactions to social, religious, political, and economic events, which inherently have elements of human tragedy, and during the course of time, may create discord. Comments shared within the class should be voiced in a professional manner conducive to promoting civil discourse and intellectual honesty. Passionate dialogue is encouraged as long as opposing viewpoints are respected and the dignity of others is maintained. In the event that an issue arises which compromises this premise and is deemed detrimental to the learning environment (i.e., unwarranted personal attacks or unsolicited dialogue outside of the classroom environment), then the OLLI administration has the authority to remove a student or instructor from the class and/or the program.
