Welcome!

Welcome to OLLI of Sedona & Verde Valley, By picking up this catalog, you have opened a wonderful opportunity for yourself. Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is a program through Yavapai College that provides “Forever Learning� for the older adult population. Our OLLI program is available at two campuses: the Verde Valley OLLI takes place at the Clarkdale Campus on Black Hills Drive and the Sedona OLLI tales place at the Sedona Center for the Arts and Technology, on Arts Village Drive.

New this session are three offerings in Beaver Creek at the Beaver Creek School Board Room. OLLI is continually looking for ways to improve services to its members, and the Beaver Creek Community has asked us to bring OLLI into their own back yard, which we did over the summer and will continue again this winter.

OLLI is a health club for the mind, body and soul as you explore astronomy, life in Medieval England, write your memoirs, listen to and learn about music, explore our valley, or take part in any number of great learning groups and workshops offered in Sedona, Clarkdale and Beaver Creek.

Because of their importance to our population, the Medicare workshops this winter will be free to our OLLI members and you can bring a spouse, friend or neighbor for $15 for each workshop.

The heart of OLLI is our volunteer facilitators and we invite everyone to facilitate. You do not need to be a professional teacher but just have a desire to share your interests, knowledge, or experience with others. Facilitators can design learning groups or workshops around a topic of their choice, moderate guest speakers on a subject, or lead a discussion around a topic or issue.

Our members (over 600 annually) are as varied as Sedona and the Verde Valley, and they are the soul of OLLI. Our members volunteer to teach and facilitate classes, help on the various committees, work in the office, create special events, and be on the governing councils. This enjoyable, dynamic organization exists because of our facilitators, volunteers, staff, and you, our members, who see learning as a continuous journey through life.

The OLLI Yavapai College staff is available to help answer your questions. Please, enjoy reading through this catalog and exploring the world of continual learning here at OLLI of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

Sincerely, Judith Manocchia, Verde Valley Council Chair & Jim Gandee, Sedona Council Chair OLLI Verde Valley Council Sy Brandon, Vice-Chair Pat Murphy, Secretary Vicki Aylstock Bill Dewhirst Mary Ann Fanter Carole Penfield-Krowne Joe Stack Billie Winkle
