sponsored
by OLLI was held on Fri,
Apr 17, at Mason’s Center for the Arts. The affair was attended by
188 guests, including 42 Mason faculty members, Provost Peter Stearns
and Chief of Staff Tom Hennessey. This annual event is designed to
recognize the contributions of all instructors and speakers who make
our OLLI program so rich and comprehensive. It also provides an
opportunity for OLLI to present scholarships to students
representing departments that have had strong partnerships with OLLI
during the previous four terms.
After a welcome and introductions by President Pat Carroll, Dr. Stearns
shared remarks, including his observation that teaching an OLLI course
inspired him to write his most recent book. It was then my pleasure to
introduce the Mason students receiving OLLI scholarships and
presenters from their respective departments.

These OLLI scholarships reflect the desire
of the OLLI Board of
Directors to demonstrate its appreciation and to encourage the
continuation of strong partnerships with the university faculty. The
Board authorized $13,000 from the Friends of OLLI in scholarships to
these 12 students representing 11 schools, colleges, and departments – the
highest totals ever.
The expressions of gratitude from the
faculty
representatives and scholarship recipients confirmed in my mind the
value of this public
presentation. I think that every OLLI member
present was extremely proud that we could help this next generation of
students
complete their college education and begin contributing to society.
We thank Chair Jack Underhill and the members
of the
Program Review Committee for their recommendations regarding the
scholarships. Let us remember that these scholarship contributions
would not have been possible without donations from OLLI members to the
Friends of OLLI.
I’d also like to thank OLLI staff members Karen Nash, Beth Davis and
Maria Buczek (left to right in above
photo by Ben Gold) for doing a great job of organizing this
event for the
enjoyment of all. And by the way, the most popular food items were the
Chicken Chilito (a chicken kabob); Oriental Beggars Purse with Orange
Ginger Sauce; and the Mini Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade Sauce. There
wasn't a one left!
 2009 BALLOTS
MAILED
Update from the Nominating Committee
THE
NOMINATING COMMITTEE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that
ballots for the 2009 election to fill six openings for three-year
terms, 2009-2012, on the OLLI Board of Directors have been mailed. The
envelope containing your ballot is marked "Ballot Enclosed" under the
return address. Use this ballot to vote for up to six candidates; you
may mail the ballot to OLLI in the enclosed envelope or drop it in a
ballot box at Tallwood, Reston, or Loudoun. Since you do not sign the
ballot or return envelope, your vote remains completely anonymous. To be counted, all ballots must be received
by noon on Fri, May 15, 2009.
Do not lose your ballot: No member having lost, damaged or
destroyed his/her mailed ballot may receive a second ballot.
Marking more than six choices will invalidate your ballot. Similarly,
more than one ballot per envelope, any ballot not in the furnished
BALLOT ENCLOSED envelope, or not received by the deadline will be
invalid.
Please remember that Thelma Weiner withdrew as
a candidate AFTER the ballots were printed. Her name is still on the
ballot. Please remember not to vote for her as one of your six
selections.
Remember too that "Meet the Candidates"
sessions will be held at 10:00 on May 1 in Reston at the Lake Anne site
and on May 8 at Tallwood in conjunction with the Annual Membership
Meeting, also at 10:00. You are strongly encouraged to attend at least
one of these sessions to meet and learn more about the candidates.
If you have questions about the election
process, contact me or any Nominating Committee member: Susanne Zumbro,
John
West, Rosemary McDonald, Ted Parker, or Gordon Canyock.
Thank you.

BOARD
HIGHLIGHTS
Results of last week's Board meeting
THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MET AT 10:00 ON FRI, APR 17.
Kathie West explained the new system of bidding for the Silent Auction:
each member will be given a number, and members will use their assigned
numbers to bid rather than their names.
Executive Director Thom Clement reported that
a classroom technical assistant has been hired part time to help manage
set-up of classrooms at Reston. OLLI now has 769 full members and 106
Loudoun-only members, compared to 762 members in April 2008. Loudoun
has 16 courses this term, with 25 courses planned for the summer term
and an active program planning committee with 20 additional volunteers
helping out in various areas.
The contract with the Washington Plaza Baptist
Church, site of OLLI's Reston classes, is being renegotiated by Thom
Clement; the new contract is expected to allow use of the sanctuary and
an additional half day per week with four additional open houses or
special events per year. Thom has authority to make contracts for OLLI
but was given "sense of the Board" approval to proceed with terms he
explained to the Board.
The Treasurer, not present, noted in writing
that OLLI finances are sound and there are no pending financial
concerns.
There was discussion about the Board's
previous approval to proceed with electronic voting starting with the
Board elections in 2010. The executive director was given "sense of the
Board" approval to proceed with software development for electronic
voting, including voting on bylaws changes, but not for conducting
surveys.
Two resolutions were proposed and passed that
authorize money from Friends of OLLI funds. One resolution was for
$1,000 by
the Landscaping Committee for a retaining wall adjacent to the Picnic
Terrace; the wall will contain a small bed to hold plants that will
screen the Terrace from the street and, with capstones, will serve as
extra seating for up to a dozen people. The second resolution was for
$3,000 to purchase powered speakers, a mixer, and additional head-worn
microphones with transmitters/receivers; these will enhance the quality
of sound amplification at our off-site locations for panel
presentations and for outdoor presentations.
The Board does not normally meet in May due to
the election of new directors. The next regular meeting will be in
June, when the Board, with newly elected directors,
will meet to elect officers for the June 2009-June 2010 term.

 THE AUCTION LIST IS GROWING
Excitement mounts
By Debbie Halverson, Membership Committee Chair
LAST YEAR WE HAD A WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL
DAY for our Annual Membership Meeting, Picnic and Silent
Auction, and we are hoping for the same this year. If you haven't done
so by now, be sure to circle that date as a no-no for any distractions
like medical appointments, babysitting obligations, or trips to Madrid.
Such cannot hold a candle to the pleasure you will find at this special
day at OLLI!
May 8 is only two weeks away, so you should
take a look at all that is already being offered for sale at the
auction. (Bring up the OLLI home page, www.olli.gmu.edu, and click on
"Silent Auction" at the lower left side). Our members have been
submitting wonderful treasures, services and creations of their own
making within a wide variety of price categories. Before you walk into
TA-2 or TA-3 on auction day, you should have an idea on which item(s)
you want to bid. The auction catalog includes photos, but for
entertainment items like catered dinners you will have to imagine
yourself eating scrumptious food with fellow OLLI-ites.
No question, OLLI members are being very
generous.
I’m sure that some members are still
scratching their heads about what they might offer. Use your
imagination. Think of what you love to do. Do you enjoy wrapping gifts?
Offer to wrap, say, ten gifts for a holiday or a special party. Or
offer to decorate for a party, or donate your calligraphy skills on
invitations to a special event, like a granddaughter’s wedding. Just
driving someone to the airport can be a worthy service for those who
normally have to rely on a taxi, as can driving someone to the doctor,
hairdresser, or an OLLI special event.
The pièce de résistance
of our donations has to be the suite of rooms for two nights at the
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa in Texas (that’s near Bastrop).
The certificate entitles the winner to a two-night stay in a
one-bedroom junior suite with one round of golf for two – valid
from May 8, 2009 to May 8, 2010. If you don't want to pamper yourself,
maybe you have family in Texas who would enjoy using this getaway
opportunity. Take your grandchild; there's a lot to do there for kids.
Think of someone you know who is ready for something special in his or
her life. You'll find more details about this in the Tallwood social
room.
Advance
bids on this item will be taken.
For this particular item, we could use an
additional donation of
someone's airline miles to make the package complete and more
affordable. Contact me if you can do that. |
I suggest if you are thinking of bidding on
something as a group, e.g., one of the dinners, that you organize
your friends to be prepared to bid. Already I have my eye on items on
which I
intend to bid, and I’ll be checking the list periodically to see
what is added during the next two weeks.
LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
A forum for members to voice their views
on OLLI matters
WE
WILL
PUBLISH your brief letters about OLLI and, if
a response seems appropriate, we will include an OLLI response from the
executive director or the applicable officer or committee
chair in the same issue. Submit your letter via email to the editor or
submit it as a "letter to the editor" via
the online
suggestion box or the suggestion box in the Tallwood Social Room.
To be published in a given Friday's issue, the editor must receive the
letter no later than 7:00 pm on Monday so that any applicable OLLI
response can also be published. Letters can be published
anonymously but you must include your name and email address or phone
number so we can verify that you are an OLLI member.

I have been so thrilled with all that the Dirty Knee Club has done for
the environs of OLLI. It is truly beautiful. So it is with regret that
I noticed the large signs, which make no sense to me and in fact
do not seem to be part of the lovely gardens. Perhaps someone in the
Dirty Knee Club is paying for the signs, but the money would be better
spent
by adding to the wonderful wild flowers under the trees. Perhaps the
club
will rethink the signs. Thank you.
