TIMES TIM MEEHAN TO BE OLLI@UGA’S NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OLLI@UGA’s new Executive Director Tim Meehan began work on November 28, and will be collaborating with Katy through December to learn about our organization. Tim has a BA and MA in classics from King’s College, London. As Marketing and Delivery (Operations) Manager of St. Andrew Holborn Church Foundation in London for the past ten years, he has had experience in managing events for both business and non-profits, overseeing staff and volunteers, and working both independently and collaboratively on fundraising and marketing projects. He has also taught music (piano, choir, and music theory) to students in a school serving the underprivileged in London as well as to a wide range of private students. He moved to the U.S. to be closer to his wife’s family (both his sister-in-law and brother-in-law attended The University of Georgia). He regards working with OLLI@ UGA as “a fantastic opportunity.” Some members have already met Tim at his interview on October 26 and at Chuck Murphy’s Lunch and Learn photography class at Tim’s caption: “Left to Right: My wife Kathleen, son Patrick, Trumps on November 29. There are more opportunities to meet him daughter Anna, and of course myself.” this month. OLLI@UGA President Lee Albright writes, “We are planning two ‘Meet and Greet’ socials in the River’s Crossing break room with coffee and light refreshments for the members to come and meet Tim. These are planned for Wednesday, December 7, 1:30-3:30 p.m. and Tuesday, December 13 – 10:00 a.m. to noon. They will be casual, without a program, so people can come by whenever they are free.” Tim will also be at the Winter Holiday Party December 15 at the Joe Frank Harris Dining Commons on East Campus.
KATY’S RETIREMENT PARTY To thank Katy for her wonderful seven years at Executive Director of OLLI@UGA, the organization held a party in her honor at Trumps on December 1. The OLLI Times will have full coverage of the party in our next issue. For now, all we can say is how much we appreciate all that Katy has done for us as our Director, with her sunny personality and her ability to wear many hats—or juggle many balls (either image fits!) We hope to continue to see a lot of Katy, when she is in an easier role—as a regular OLLI member!
