The expanded spring 2007 class schedule will be announced during the membership meeting, and members will have an opportunity to enroll in classes during the session. Also during the meeting the institute steering committee will discuss how things went during the first semester and members will learn about new volunteer opportunities. The membership meeting will be held in the CCE auditorium, and members must present their membership cards to attend the meeting.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is welcome to attend the fall open house, which will be held in the lobby of the Continuing Education Center.
