THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER

The end of the “school-year” brings many changes throughout life; people move on and others enter our lives. This is where we are at OLLI at the close of the 2011-12 year. Our UCI liaison Harriet Whitmyer has retired and Tanya Zabalegui is our new liaison to the university. Jnana Anderson VP of Member Services has completed her board member term and Jan Elbaum is now holding that position . Jerry Devries and Harry Levy have left the OLLI board and Joann Burch has joined us.

Harriet Whitmyer , the Director, Human Resources, UCI Extension, was named the liaison to OLLI about nine years ago. She was, according to those in the know, the perfect choice. So, much of what we have accomplished over the years is due to Harriet's quiet support. Harriet was the essential ingredient in our searches for another home, personnel problems, mediating financial issues, keeping the UCI ac- counts up to date and accurate, and promoting OLLI in the UCI world. Truly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our friend and mentor, Harriet.

Tanya Zabalegui, our new liaison , has successfully planned, designed and conducted symposiums, con- ferences, and special events in various departments throughout the campus, many of them tied to grants for specific programs. She is creative, positive, enthusiastic, and brimming with ideas. We are delighted that she will be working with us. Thank you Dean Matkin – for assigning this dynamic woman to OLLI as our UCI liaison.

Harriet Whitmyer has assured us she will be an OLLI member in Spring 2013. Jnana Anderson and Jerry Devries will continue working on our Equinox Extravaganza celebrating OLLI’s 15 th birthday. Harry Levy, Jnana & Jerry will continue as OLLI members. So the “bottom line” is we’ve only added to our friendship circle. Welcome to OLLI, Tanya, and welcome to the board, Jan and Joann.

Hello All,

I am writing to remind you (and your invited guests) about the Third Annual Art of Law Celebration.

This is a one-night-only creativity conflagration co-sponsored by Bryan Cave and the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine. It features raucous music, stunning modern dance performances by the school's renowned dance department, and works of art created by UCI's top MFA students. No lectures or legal treatises -- just an electrifying celebration of the arts in our community.

Wine, hors d'oeuvres and lively conversations will accompany this unique event. Hope you'll join us!

Regards, Joe Lewis Dean Claire Trevor School of the Arts University of California, Irvine

OLLI LIBRARY NEWS

The OLLI Library has some older works that you might want to revisit or checkout for the first time. Some you need to still have a VHS to enjoy. Concert Masterworks examines eighteenth and nineteenth century music through examples by famous composers. The Origins of Modern Society features lectures in western culture by sixteen legendary Stanford professors. Connections 2 and 3 show that history is filled with unrelated discoveries that are actually connected in the most surprising ways. Understanding the Universe is a four part introduction to astronomy.

Other items are in a more modern format. Philosophy of Religion which examines religion from a philoso- phical point of view is a DVD. Science and Religion containing lectures on the relation between science and religion from early times to the present is also a DVD. The History of the U.S. is a CD series that chronicles the history of the United States from colonial origins to the beginning of the 21st century.

Lynne Pendleton , OLLI Librarian TECH TIPS FROM OLLI

Hacking or phishing is a sad fact of life on the Internet, and some OLLI members have recently re- ported that they have received strange e-mails asking for money because a friend is in trouble or to open an interesting link, with no real message from the sender, just a familiar name on the e-mail ad- dress. BE CAREFUL IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCUR !

• Most fake emails can be spotted by the message that it is "urgent" or needs "immediate attention" or asks for personal information, like passwords or bank account numbers. • When a message asks you to link to a web site which appears to be legitimate, be careful if there is no personal message to you from the sender or if the sender’s e-mail address is not exactly accurate. • The web site prompts you for your user ID and password, and then opens a page asking for credit card numbers, bank account numbers and so forth • The email sender might even appear to have the same email address as a legitimate company, yet still be a scam. For example, it might say from [email protected] when in fact it really isn’t a legal email address for Bank of America. Scams recently have been using Bank of America, Wells-Fargo, Cox Cable and credit card companies. The bottom line is to never respond to anyone who solicits per- sonal or financial information from you.

These are messages to be ignored and deleted immediately. If in doubt, compose and e-mail a NEW mes- sage to the alleged sender and inquire as to the validity of the message in question.
