News Bulletins
-
The Membership/Publicity Committee welcomes Patsy Hall as interim Co-Chair, sharing that important position with Nancy Wasson.
- The OLLI office will be closed Monday, January 16, 2012 for Martin Luther King Jr Day.
- The Winter Open House is planned for Wednesday, January 11, 2:00 – 3:30 pm in the Mall Community Room. This is a nice opportunity to meet Winter Term faculty, register for the classes of your choice, reconnect with friends and make some new ones!
- You should receive the Winter Term Course Catalog in the mail shortly after Christmas. Don't overlook it among all the late holiday mail! The Catalog will go on-line on our website (www.olliatwvu.org) at the same time.

The University Club is planning a dinner and theater event for Sunday evening, January 22, with dinner at Cheddar’s, followed by the musical production Rock of Ages at the Creative Arts Center. Details will follow later, or contact uniclub@mail.wvu.edu.

We are down-sizing the OLLI library and want to offer you a special opportunity to pick up some great books and videotapes for a donation of your choice, just in time for the holidays! We are keeping anything by or about an OLLI member, past or present. Items remaining will be offered to the WVU Libraries. They will still be available if we need to use them for classes, but this means anyone with a WVU library card can also benefit from them. Items WVU does not need will go to the Appalachian Prison Book Project, Lucky's Attic, Goodwill, or the Morgantown Public Library for its used book sale.
- There has been a request for an overnite OLLI trip to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs next spring and we need to determine whether there would be sufficient interest. The plan probably would include lunch at the Greenbrier with a visit to the Bunker, the shops and lovely grounds, and shops/places of interest in
Lewisburg. Overnight lodging would be in a local motel, NOT in the Greenbrier. IF you might be interested, please let Nancy know - in the OLLI office.
