Central Vermont Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) programs begin soon at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center on Barre Street with eight speakers plus a three-film series hosted by Rick Winston (films are shown at the Savoy Theater).
The Wednesday series starts on September 20--Linda Radtke celebrates the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1919 and traces the suffragette movement's alignment with other social justice initiatives through song and story in full period costume—and goes through December 6, 2023. All presentations begin at 1:30.
Programs include important current topics such as new Medicare Advantage options, the Vermont Senior Games, the Vermont 251 Club, Rob Mermin's Parkinson's Pantomime Project, Ben Koenig on Dorothy Canfield Fisher, UVM Professor Anthony D'Amato on tree species migration, and Garrett Graff with his new book on UFOs. All this plus three delightful comedies by film director Ernest Lubitsch. Full program descriptions are at https://learn.uvm.edu/olli/centralvt
