OLLI@UNR is celebrating its 10th anniversary this Spring and we want you to participate and enjoy the activities. A lot has been accomplished as OLLI now has almost 2000 members and offers over 400 programs a year. We started the celebration with a special “Anniversary “ edition of our Spring 2017 Catalog which includes a listing of 10 year presenters as well as anniversary activities.
In addition to the special catalog, OLLI will hold 2 events for members this spring. A “High Tea” at the Sands on May 24th will honor 10 year presenters and faculty; members who have contributed much time and effort to build our programs and others who have have helped transform our OLLI into the 3rd largest and a model for of OLLI’s nationwide.
To acknowledge OLLI’s growing role in our University and Truckee Meadows Community, we are cosponsoring a nationally distinguished speaker with the UNR Sanford Center. Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Services (CNCS) will address OLLI members, UNR faculty, and community members on April 18 at 4 pm. CSCN funds organizations such as VISTA, AmeriCorps, and RSVP. The program will be moderated by Brent Boynton and include the UNR President, the mayor of Reno, and Lynne Gray, OLLI Vice President.
More specific information will be forthcoming but please put these dates on your calendar and join our 10 year celebrations. They will be memorable!
