But it doesn’t stop there! Along with the array of diverse lectures, classes, and workshops also comes opportunities for you to experience new cultural events, volunteer activities, and social engagement. Truly, lifelong learning is an open door for life-changing and life-giving experiences. If you haven’t yet enrolled in OLLI at ASU, I encourage you to do so. Enroll in a class that intrigues your curiosity, opens up a new idea, brings about new perspectives on ancient beliefs, tempts you to try your hand at painting or drawing, write a memoir, or simply be in a classroom with other like-minded peers just for the joy of it. The possibilities are endless, and YOU can make it happen. It can change your life! I wish to thank each and every one of you for your dedication to OLLI. Without your support and commitment to this community, OLLI at ASU – as we know it today – would not exist. It’s you who tells your friends about how much you enjoy your classes and encourages them to enroll. It’s you who shares your curiosity with the student sitting next to you in class . .and the next thing you know, a group of you are talking over lunch or coffee, sometimes even with the instructor. It’s you who gives of your time to OLLI as we ask for your volunteer efforts to serve our community. It’s you who so generously digs into your pocket to donate to our OLLI’s fundraising campaigns, because you’ve come to love OLLI and you believe in our future. Because of you, we raised $20,737 last year to expand our class offerings, and we look to you again to keep the momentum going this year. Each one of you, in your own way, energizes and propels OLLI, moving us forward into new possibilities, new frontiers, and new ways of being excited about the world around us. Thank you! We continue to stand in salute to The Bernard Osher Foundation for their belief in us, our dreams, and our commitment to building exceptional and diverse learning opportunities. As you know, The Bernard Osher Foundation recently helped us to reach a most significant milepost in our quest for financial sustainability. It invested an additional $1 million in our endowment fund, a “legacy gift” that lays the ground work for successful OLLI at ASU programming in perpetuity. With your continued support, we have much to look forward to in the coming year: • More classes on our five campuses • More travel opportunities • New instructors and new topics reflecting your interests • More volunteer opportunities to serve you and your community • Discounted tickets to our partner arts and culture venues • The electricity of university experiences • A great community of fellow learners and friends • Fantastic, devoted, and caring OLLI at ASU staff. So welcome to OLLI, and let’s spring into the New Year . into a new semester, with open minds and open hearts! Richard C.
