Tailored to seniors’ lifestyles, classes are held in the daytime, almost always in places with convenient parking. The courses, lasting three to six weeks, fit the typical senior’s schedule.
The classes are numerous, fascinating, and diverse.  Browse some of the titles here. By helping clients sign up for OLLI courses, I’ve learned that you want to register right away – classes fill up quickly!
