Calling All Shutterbugs! Have you been taking pictures in your classes or at OLLI events? How about sharing some of those photos with OLLI? We are always looking for documentation of what is going on in the classrooms, field trips, and hallways. Some of it gets archived, but lots of it shows up on our website, Facebook page, or course catalogs. So, please, share your OLLI snaps with us by emailing photos to [email protected]. Put “OLLI Photos” in the subject line, and tell us what you can about the subject of the picture. Thanks for your help.

Like OLLI on Facebook We are counting down to reach 450 “likes” on the OLLI at University of Cincinnati Facebook page. When we get there, we’ll put all the names

in a bowl and drew one to win a free quarter membership. Let’s do it before fall quarter! Why? Lots of OLLI breaking news shows up first on Facebook. And we share photographs from classes and special events, pertinent news stories, and tips for retirees. Please join our online community at https://www.facebook.com/OLLIatUniversityCincinnati.
