AUM OLLI Fall Open House

August 29, 2023, from 10:00 to Noon

Individuals are invited to the Center for Lifelong Learning (75 TechnaCenter Drive) for the AUM OLLI Fall Open House on Tuesday, August 29, 2023. From 10:00 a.m. to Noon, while enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry, they can learn about OLLI and meet the instructors for the fall courses. This event is a good opportunity to get acquainted with instructors, current OLLI members, and staff members in an informal setting with a chance to ask questions about courses and policies.

Annual membership in AUM OLLI is $40.00 and runs from August to August. In addition, there is a term fee of $50.00 (fall, winter, and spring), which allows members to register for as many courses as they wish and to register for Lunch Presentations, Bonus Opportunities, and Field Trips (the Field Trips may require an additional fee if transportation is provided to a destination).

The 2023 schedule includes a wide variety of courses, Bonus Opportunities, Lunch Presentations, and Field Trips. Courses cover a variety of types – study/lecture, hands-on (DIY), and active. Challenge yourself, and try at least one of every type! The Bonus Opportunities include book discussion groups and a potluck lunch. The fall Field Trips offer everything from the Auburn University Raptor Center to the Alabama Governor’s Mansion with its Christmas decorations. Lunch Presentations include a variety of speakers, with more being added since the catalog was released.

The Fall Term runs from September 18 –November 10, 2023. Classes meet once a week (on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) for an hour and a half for eight weeks (one exception: the Introduction to Tai Chi class meets twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays). All of the classes except two meet in classrooms at the Center. The two exceptions are Art on

View, which meets at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, and Pickleball, which meets at the AUM Wellness Center, on the AUM campus. The AUM OLLI catalog is available online (www.aum.edu/olli) with a complete list of courses and descriptions of the courses, Bonus Opportunities, Lunch Presentations and Field Trips.

AUM OLLI is an excellent opportunity for people to challenge their minds and their bodies and to learn new skills (jewelry making, holiday ornament crafts, zentangle, Mah Jongg, gardening, and others). It is also a great place to make new friends and create new communities.
