THE
IMPORTANCE
OF
A
SENSE
OF
HUMOR
From the executive director
ALL OF US CAN THINK
OF PEOPLE we
know
who
demonstrate
what
we
call
a
"good
sense
of
humor."
However,
this
would be a subjective judgment and would not be valued as much by
some of us as others. Personally, my experience has shown me that the
ability to laugh at oneself and at the ups and downs of human existence
has a high correlation with success and satisfaction. As some might
say, it's a good thing to "lighten up" and not take life too seriously.
Easier said than done, some would say.
In an article published recently in the International Journal of Psychiatry in
Medicine, researchers concluded that a sense of humor helps to
keep people healthy and increases their chances of reaching retirement
age. But after the age of 70, the health benefits of humor decrease.
"There is reason to believe that sense of humor continues to have a
positive effect on mental health and social life, even after people
have become retirees, although the positive effect on life expectancy
could not be shown after the age of 75. At that point, genetics and
biological aging are of greater importance," says project leader
Professor Sven Svebak at the Department of Neuroscience of the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
In recognition that a sense of humor comes in
many different forms, researchers note that humor is a way of thinking
and can be nonverbal. "People with the same sense of humor tend to
enjoy themselves together and can communicate humor without huge
gestures. A twinkle in the eye can be more than enough."

BOARD HIGHLIGHTS
Summary
of last Friday's
Board meeting
 By Rod Zumbro,
Board
member
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MET ON FRIDAY,
OCTOBER 15,
at Tallwood. Executive
Director Thom Clement reported that we now have
964 members (865 full members and 99
Loudoun-only members) and that funding is about 7% higher
than projected, with overall expenses about 8% less than projected.
Loudoun-related
proposals.
There was considerable discussion concerning
the Loudoun membership/dues proposal, with non-Board members in
attendance also offering comments. The
Board
passed
an
amended
resolution
that
retains
the
Loudoun-only
membership
category
and
raises
Loudoun-only membership dues to $250
starting with the winter 2011 term registration. Specifically,
the $250 dues level applies to OLLI members who are Loudoun County
residents (i.e., Loudoun County ZIP Code) at the time of their 2011
annual registration (includes current OLLI members and new OLLI
members) or members who paid Loudoun-only dues for their 2010 annual
registration in any 2010 term, regardless of their address.
A second resolution proposed establishing a
committee to look at enhanced program and staff support for Loudoun and
Reston. Due to concerns about required changes in the text of the
resolution and whether or not the resolution is even necessary given
efforts already underway by OLLI resource groups, the resolution was
tabled. The Board passed a resolution approving the acquisition of a
piano for the Loudoun campus using up to $6,500 of Friends of OLLI
funds. |
The next Board meeting is scheduled for
Friday, November 19, at 10:00 at Tallwood.
All OLLI members are
invited to attend meetings of the Board.

PROGRAM CORNER
Program volunteers needed
 By Kathryn Russell,
Program Committee Chair
AT A RECENT SPECIAL EVENT (“How
to
Get
Involved
with
OLLI
Program”
#959)
we
invited
members
to an
information session to learn more about volunteering for the program
planning process. The conversation was lively, as many current
volunteers spoke of their experiences and others asked insightful
questions. It occurred to me, though, that much of the discussion
centered on teaching. Now, to be sure, we always eagerly welcome those
who want to share their interests and talents with other OLLI members.
And OLLI teachers are an enthusiastic group because they have
discovered the joy of interacting with their peers in the learning
process.
However, teaching isn’t the only way to get
involved in program planning. There are many other program needs.
Consider these possibilities:
- Helping to coordinate classes
- Serving as liaisons
- Assisting teachers with research
- Helping teachers with computer tasks,
e.g., PowerPoint
- Pairing up with another person to lead a
discussion or
study group on a topic of interest
- Maintaining the Program bulletin board
outside the social
room
- Contacting members who have expressed, on
OLLI surveys, an
interest in program
- Attending Resource Group meetings (held 2
or 3 times per
year) to offer suggestions for future courses
Whatever your talents, we eagerly welcome you
as a program volunteer. You’ll make new friends and enjoy the
camaraderie of people with similar interests. Most important, you will
be working toward a vital goal: Making our wonderful OLLI program even
better in the future.
DIRECTOR
PROFILE
Carole Richard – Board member
By
Barbara Kyriakakis, OLLI E-News
Associate Editor
I LIKE A LADY WITH CLASS, and
I
found
one
in
OLLI
Board
Member
Carole
Richard.
Her
vibrant
personality,
quick
wit, self-confidence, and enthusiastic dedication
and commitment to OLLI attest to it.
Born in New York City, raised in Rhode Island
and Florida, Carole married in 1953 and spent the next 10 years as a
graduate student's wife, producing six children. The family moved to
Fairfax in 1968 and over the years traveled extensively throughout
Europe. Carole wrote and had published a couple of articles – one
entitled "Red Carpet Treatment on a Linoleum Pocketbook," chronicling
her adventures with her family of eight while living in Germany and
exploring Europe.
At 48 Carole went back to school and in three
years received her undergraduate degree in Sociology/Gerontology from
San Diego State. She then went on to pursue her graduate degree in
Gerontology at George Washington University.
After 50 years of marriage, sadly, Carole's
husband passed away. She joined OLLI in 2006. She has been a presence
ever since ... a whirlwind on campus. She is presently a Board member
(elected in May 2009) and the Facilities Committee chair. She is
liaison this term for three OLLI classes that she developed: the first
by arranging for Maestro Chris Zimmerman of the Fairfax Symphony
Orchestra to give four lectures (two years ago, she brought in the
Orchestra's then-music director to teach); the second by
setting up the Iran course (U.S.-Iran Relations: Is There a Solution?);
and the third by arranging for two lectures on Veterinary Medicine. She
also
'instigated' the inquiry into Tallwood Cottage that resulted in Thom
Clement asking and obtaining its use for OLLI.
Carole has served on the Membership Committee
as chair of the subcommittee for booths at local fairs, has been class
liaison for more classes than she can count, has volunteered in the
office and for cleanup, and is active
on the Finance Committee, which prepares OLLI budgets and makes
recommendations concerning membership dues .
Does she have time for outside activities? You
bet! Carole volunteers in a Fair Oaks INOVA thrift shop, plays bridge,
loves the theater, and enjoys birding and walking as well as gardening
and museums. She is an avid reader, mainly non-fiction, and has 'a
curious mind.'
What does Carole enjoy most about OLLI? The
variety of topics it offers and the amazing intellectual pool of its
membership. When asked what would surprise people about her, she
answered without hesitation: "I love my solitude."

KITCHEN FURNISHING
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
Cottage dining coming soon?
 By Debbie Halverson, Member
Services Committee Chair
AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS
OF COLLECTING the
many
items
members
have
donated,
Doris
Bloch
and
I
have
taken inventory
to see where we are in our effort to furnish the cottage kitchen. We
are doing very well, and a new revised list has been prepared and will
be posted on the bulletin board on the Tallwood verandah. Do please
check it. 
I can tell you, at this time, that we still
need some key items, in the category of table service…including dishes,
glassware, serving bowls, etc. We do have one set already but we should
have two. We need a few more pots and we very much need lids for
several great Dutch ovens We can use round cake and pie tins, and
skillets, both small and large. We could use a griddle and small
electrics, like a hand mixer, blender, and electric skillet.
I am of two minds about the stove: it is old,
very disgusting and not self-cleaning…so someone’s head is going to
have to spend a little time inside. Any volunteers? Then we will have
to check it to be sure the temperature is accurate and even, meaning
perhaps we'll sacrifice a cake to determine the oven's balance. Another
option is to ask our over 900 members if any might currently be going
through a kitchen overhaul and has a spare electric stove that is about
to go out the door. We can pick up. If that is the case, contact me
debbyhalv@aol.com ASAP, before I stick my head into the oven and begin
scrubbing.
All of this is moving along while the Dirty
Knee Club chair is planning the kitchen garden that will supply us with
aromatic herbs.
Again, a reminder to check the list on the
verandah. And many thanks to all of you who have been so
generous. We are excited about the many advantages we will have with a
fully operating and complete kitchen.

 MASON'S LEGACY SOCIETY
Alternative ways to donate to Friends of
OLLI
By Una Murphy, Executive
Director, Leadership Gifts & Estate Planning, Mason Development
Office
is underway right now.
Many members make
cash/check contributions. However, there are other ways members can
make contributions to the fund. One is through the Legacy Society that
was established by George Mason University in 1997 to recognize and
honor individuals who have made provisions for planned gifts to support
the University. These gifts include bequests, trusts, annuities and
other plans in which George Mason University Foundation has been named
beneficiary. If you decide to make provisions to support the Friends of
OLLI in your estate plans, George Mason University will welcome you as
a member of the Legacy Society.
Making a bequest to the Friends of OLLI
through the Foundation is simple. Here is some sample language you can
use in your will or estate document: "I
give
and
bequeath
to
the
George
Mason
University
Foundation
Inc.
the
sum
of
$_____ [or _____% of my estate] to be used to support the
Friends of OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) Fund."
Some OLLI members are already members of the
Legacy Society! Just by notifying us of your intent to remember OLLI in
your plans, you will become a member as well. You will be invited to an
annual Legacy Society membership function, where you will be recognized
for your commitment and given your own Legacy lapel pin, which
identifies you as part of this elite giving society at George Mason.
Your name will be listed along with other members in a special section
of George Mason University's Annual Honor Roll of Donors and recognized
in Mason's electronic publications. You will also receive special
invitations to a variety of events on campus throughout the year.
If you have any questions about leaving a
bequest or other estate planning vehicles, please contact me ( email or phone, 703-993-8621) or
contact OLLI Development Committee Chair John Woods.

VISIT TO NATIONAL ARBORETUM
"A delightful excursion"
Resting
at
the
end
of
the Special Event bus trip to the National Arboretum; photo by Rita
Leake.
Click above image or click
here to view slideshow of photos by Rita Leake
a group of OLLI members enjoyed
a delightful excursion to the National Arboretum in
Washington, D.C. In addition to the many classes offered at OLLI, our
Institute offers numerous special events, including bus trips to
interesting places in and around the Washington Metro area – and this
was one of those events. Present on this trip were OLLI President
Manuel Pablo as well as Special Events Resource Group Chair Florence
Adler.
Our group got to see many exciting exhibits,
including the bonsai collection, the Sogetsu Ikebana display, the herb
garden, plenty of beautiful plants, flowers and trees, and the National
Grove of State Trees (where we enjoyed our picnic lunch ... and learned
that the state tree of Virginia is the flowering dogwood). We also saw
the National Capitol Columns, which are the most photographed
attraction at the Arboretum and one of the least known attractions in
D.C. Our day concluded with a visit to the gift shop; we left with
many wonderful memories of a most pleasant day.
For more information about the National
Arboretum, see its Web
site.

Comments
about
last
week's
Board
meeting
Attending
the
October
15
OLLI
Board meeting, I appreciated that I and
other guests had an opportunity to be heard. Some decisions were not in
complete alignment with what I would have preferred. However, I am
writing to express appreciation for the deliberative process by which
decisions were made. This was perhaps the best-run Board meeting that I
have attended at OLLI. The initiative of ensuring members have the
written text of proposed resolutions in advance of meetings, thereby
providing for proper review and consideration, was also noteworthy. I
congratulate the president, individual Board members and the executive
director on their performance, and I want to say thanks for their
ongoing superb efforts on behalf of the OLLI membership.
-- Dan Feighery, OLLI member
POET'S CORNER
Selected by the OLLI Poetry Workshop
Down,
Down
Deep
in
the
mines
"Where the rain never
falls and the sun never shines
It's
dark as a dungeon way down in the mines..." Willie Nelson
Down, down below where the earth worm crawls
And below where the blind moles
And voles dig for grubs in darkness.
Down where only devils descend.
Into the heart of the earth
Where secret lodes lie buried for billions of years
Formed in the kilns and furnaces of the earth
Men go down, down
Seeking the wealth of the earth
Down two thousand feet
They blast and hack off valuable chunks of the earth
And ship it up to the surface.
The lucky return to the surface of light and air.
Or they are buried alive
Buried like the dead only without a blessing
Cut off from the daylight and music
Once in a while they are saved
Only to go back down again.
Down into the womb of the mother.
Down into the womb of night.
