Donate to OLLIOLLI’s switch to online learning caught everyone off guard… you and us, alike. We are delighted to state we have successfully made the necessary transition to online learning.However, due to our unexpected transition to online learning, we are experiencing a drop in revenue because, honestly, most of our members prefer the beauty of traditional face-to-face learning. We completely understand and feel the same way. However, until we can safely bring students back to campus, we will continue to offer fun and educational online courses.Help us remain solvent during this season of change. We ask that you consider a donation—one time or monthly—to OLLI. Let’s keep lifelong learning for our seasoned adult community alive and well for years to come!
