Music Makers It has not been easy to keep making music as a group over the past year. Decisions about masks or no masks, breath- ing outside or inside, and even fi nding a loca on to use that makes everyone comfortable was hard. Carol Baker and friends have been willing to make it work and keep the Jammin' with OLLI class rolling along. When outdoor loca ons became a bit safer - they moved to the Marina Vista Park and kept on playing! Make Music Day was cel- ebrated in June! For the summer they used the Rec Park Community center - inside at fi rst and then out. Anything to keep the music going!

The Recorder class joined in the fun! See page 19 for listing.
