TOUR OF THE ANNUNCIATION CATHEDRAL IP NOV. 5 | 1–3 PM 425 W. MAGNOLIA ST., STOCKTON

Meet at the entrance to the preserve at the intersection of Staten Island Rd. and Walnut Grove Rd., just west of I-5 in the city of Thornton.

$15 David Yee, Avian Expert and Author Join David Yee for bird-watching at Staten Island. November is an ideal time to observe one of the best local natural treasures, the Sandhill crane, as they arrive by the thousands from their nesting grounds. Also to be expected are two formerly endangered species, the Aleutian cackling goose and the spectacular Peregrine falcon, which are now regularly seen in our Delta region.

CABANA WINERY TASTING IP NOV. 19 | 11:30 AM–1:30 PM 710 BECKMAN ROAD, STE. D, LODI

$15 The name Cabana came from the thought that “making wine is like a day at the beach.” So, come on over and relax with Robert Smerling, owner and winemaker of 30 plus years, and taste some of their world-class wines!

$15 Rex Hamilton, Professor of General Education and Religion We will spend about an hour touring the cathedral and learning about architectural and artistic features common to religious buildings and specific to the Annunciation building.

REFERRAL PROGRAM–EACH ONE, REACH ONE:

GIVING TO OLLI

Please share the wonder of OLLI with friends and family. OLLI is rewarding current members for referring new members. Earn a $15 voucher/code for referring a new member. You can use the $15 voucher/code toward one class, course or EdVenture (does not include travel and cannot be applied toward membership fee.)

Referrals are unlimited and must be used within the academic year that they are received (Fall 2021–Spring 2022). Please complete the referral form found on our website, OLLI.Pacific.edu. Once the new member enrolls and pays for their membership, you will receive your voucher/code.

Financial gifts to OLLI help ensure that we are sustainable well into the future. We invite you to join fellow OLLI members and invest in our faculty, staff and members. Together, we build a stronger future for OLLI at Pacific. Every gift counts; every dollar you give makes a difference here at OLLI.

OLLI IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS! If you want to get involved with Pacific, becoming an OLLI volunteer is a wonderful way to make this happen. OLLI is an organization that depends on the involvement of its members to function and grow.

We are looking for individuals who would like to lend their skills to the day-to-day administration of classes. We are specifically looking for members who would be a classroom “host.” The classroom host receives a discount of 50% off the class/course fee. We ask that you attend a “class host training” tutorial provided by Jennifer Juanitas on Thursday, Aug. 26, 10–11 a.m. (PDC 330). One host per class/course needed. (Does not include lectures, health classes, SIGs, EdVentures or travel.) If you are interested, please complete the form on our website, OLLI.Pacific.edu

The scholarship covers your Gold or Silver Membership (does not include Bronze Membership) for the entire year (Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters). It does not include any other fees or costs. Check the box on your registration form to apply. Please contact our office at 209.946.7658 to find out more.

A special thank you to all those who have given and continue to contribute to OLLI at Pacific. Your monetary gifts enable our member institute to continue to transform your life and the lives of future lifelong learners.
