Welcome to my favorite time of the year. I love the cooler weather, the beautiful fall colors and the smells of the season. Several of our OLLI travel members just returned from some much cooler temperatures. They just arrived home from an amazing land and sea trip to Alaska. Melissa Conners, OLLI Program Manager traveled with the group and when asked about her trip she stated, “The Alaska cruise tour was truly an awe-inspiring trip! The crisp, clean air and the tranquil serenity of the Alaskan wilderness created a sense of peacefulness and rejuvenation. Each day brought a new adventure with opportunities to explore the quaint coastal towns and witness the vibrant culture of the indigenous communities. Alaska is truly one of the most beautiful places I have been!” Alaska is on many people’s bucket list and another bucket list trip for many is touring Israel. We are excited to announce that we are accepting reservations for our Israel trip departing on March 18 and returning on March 26, 2024. Join us on October 4, 2023, at 5:30pm in room 115 of the KSU Center to hear about the details of the trip. The tour will include Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Western Wall, Mount Zion, Bethlehem, Tel Avia, Nazareth and Galilee. Please plan to join us for the information session. Reservations are not required to attend. Travel is only one small part of what we do at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. We also foster community for those 50 years of age and older. One way that community environment can be found is by joining our OLLI Clubroom. Have you ever wanted to be in a CLUB? If so, here’s your chance to join the OLLI Club. For an annual fee, students 50+ years old can receive a 10% discount on OLLI classes (some exceptions apply), socialize with friends (old and new) in our private clubroom area, enjoy FREE coffee, surf the internet, play cards and table games, and more.
