President's Message: 3/1/2017

Of the 119 programs nationwide, our OLLI is the 3rd largest, one of the least expensive and has an exceptionally broad program offering.  A significant aspect to our success is that we are a “member-driven organization,” i.e. run by and for its members. To enjoy this success, we are dependent on those members who volunteer and assist in the organizational work.  This can be in a small way by providing help with classes or more significantly by serving on committees and in our organizational leadership. 
     
In July we start a new term for our Board of Directors.  The Nominating Committee is seeking members to fill both the Vice Presidency and the Secretary positions on the Board of Directors.  If you are interested in either position, please email Lynne Gray at VP@ollireno.org.  
We are also looking for volunteers for two committees:  
     --the Newsletter Committee needs writers and photographers to work on a quarterly newsletter to keep members better informed. 
     --the Fund Raising Committee needs to plan our 2017-18 campaign.   
Interested in working on the Newsletter and/or Fund Raising? Email Ralph at President@ollireno.org.
       
The past 10 years of OLLI have provided a well run and productive organization for its members. In the fall we will have a volunteer coordinator to help you find that slot where you fit best.  In the meantime we have real needs for help right now. Will you step up and help even in a small way?  

Thanks! 

Ralph Jaeck, President
