What Putin Wants-An OLLI West Upcoming Hot Topic Luncheon
A VIBRANT LEARNING COMMUNITY ...
with OLLI West Manager, Susan Schmetzer &
Assistant Manager, Dara Hughes
This edition is dedicated to the women and men who volunteer untold hours of their time and talent to develop the curriculum and facilitate the courses. The OLLI facilitators and Curriculum Committee are at the heart of the OLLI experience. In the case of the highlighted facilitators in this edition, both veteran and rookie, they have found facilitating courses to be a rich and rewarding experience.

We hope you enjoy this edition of our community newsletter, OLLI West Matters, and take a moment to seek out the Curriculum Committee members and facilitators to discuss your ideas for future courses. The Curriculum Committee stands ready to take your ideas for courses and, if you are a prospective instructor, help with a course proposal. Remember, members are the owners/operators of the OLLI experience!

Cheers!
Susan and Dara

Back To The Future
Reuniting At OLLI West
While we hope you have found many a happy and unexpected OLLI experience, we have a most serendipitous, small-world OLLI West story to share.
Making A Life By What We Give
A Generous Donation
Long time OLLI West member and facilitator, Kirsten Morgan, has generously donated funds for OLLI West to purchase two more Redcat Access Audio Systems. Kirsten saw time and time again her fellow members struggling to enjoy their classes only because they couldn't hear what was being shared. She knew another Redcat system was to be purchased for fall term but she wanted to do more.
Many thanks to Kirsten and the large number of OLLI members who donate their time and/or money to our wonderful community! Without your generosity OLLI would not be able to operate.
