MINI TOWN MEETING
Topic: What are we becoming?
By Debbie Halverson, President

"Is it time we take another look at our mission to determine whether it should include extending our services as volunteers to a larger community of needs?"
-- Debbie

AT THE MOST RECENT MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, the final topic on the agenda addressed what OLLI is and what, as it grows and the population of Fairfax County and other counties in the metro area grow, will OLLI’s place be in the senior community.
     Long- time members may be heard lamenting the loss of the good old days when OLLI was LRI … smaller and where everyone in a class knew one another. Today there’s more anonymity in the large classes that fill TA-1 and the offsite venues where our popular lecture courses are held.
     No one wants to diminish the program. No one, least of all the over 100 who sign up for those big classes, wants them discontinued for social reasons; we are, after all, an organization founded to satisfy intellectual needs. Our stated mission includes both purposes for our members. The truth is that there are fewer long-timers and more newer members who don’t have the memory of the good old days to compare to what OLLI is affording them in their current retirement.
     The fact that OLLI is morphing into a different entity than when it was smaller may or may not be a good thing, and for some, growth definitely brings with it a certain sadness.
     But we must look at what we now are and consider what we are becoming. We were somewhat surprised and then pleased that the Osher Foundation found us successful enough to give us money; we find that the county is turning its attention to the retirees emerging currently, the so-called "baby boomers." They are considering the particular needs of this group for whom the old stereotype of days of endless sportive leisure are not very appealing. OLLI sits in Fairfax County as the epitome of dynamic, intellectual growth and social stimulation where, until recent years, we were at most only an anomaly on the senior activity scene. No more. What we now represent is a new-style retirement, with burgeoning retirement villages promoting dynamic lifestyles, universities like our own GMU considering the advantages of having a retirement community on their campus, and the county recreation departments refocusing their efforts for seniors to meet different interests. These organizations may soon be looking to us as a resource of information as they go about developing their senior programs. We may want to consider how we should position ourselves vis-a-vis other activity for seniors in our community.
     Which brings us to another question: Is it time we take another look at our mission to determine whether it should include extending our services as volunteers to a larger community of needs? Some LLIs take on environmental causes; others take classes to those who are bound by handicap to their residences. Some of you may know of areas where the OLLI spirit could improve the lives of a larger constituency than we now serve.
     The board is only now beginning to address these questions. And we are aware that we have not done a good job of communicating OLLI issues to you in the recent past. We now look to you for input as we consider those matters that directly impact your organization as it exists in a community of emerging new needs. Do join us in a discussion about this on Fri, Mar 9, at 11:30. Bring your lunch; we’ll provide the cookies.
     I’m looking forward to seeing you.


THE GREATEST GENERATION
Second in our series on OLLI's WW II veterans
By Barbara Kyriakakis, OLLI E-News assistant editor



     Vince Boylan enlisted in the Army after graduating from college and enrolling in law school. Serving as a cryptographer in the Signal Corps, he sailed to Melbourne, Australia, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor to provide communications support to General MacArthur’s headquarters. In Feb 1942 he was transferred to a task force to establish a forward air base in Java. The force consisted of the USS Langley (CV-1, later AV-3), the Navy's first aircraft carrier, filled with crated P-40 planes, followed by two tramp steamers carrying pilots, ground crews, support personnel and Vince. The steamers traveled a half-day behind the carrier. As Langley entered the channel north of Java, nine Japanese bombers sighted, attacked and sunk her. The steamers quickly altered course and sailed to Karachi, India (now Pakistan).
     As the war progressed, Vince was ordered to New Delhi to provide message support for the 10th Air Force. He moved through the ranks from private to master sergeant and, on July 1, 1943, received a direct commission as a second lieutenant. Placed in charge of the Kunming Signal/Crypt Center in China, he reached his destination by flying ‘over the hump,’ a term used for the risky journey over the Eastern end of the Himalayan mountains. Later he was given responsibility for the distribution of codes and ciphers for the China Theater, then ordered back to New Delhi to write a field manual on cryptography.
     At the end of the war, Vince joined the Army Reserves, served on active duty again in the Korean War as a captain, and left in 1953 with a total of thirteen years military service. One of three generations in the Armed Forces, Vince has a son who retired from the Army and a grandson at the Air Force Academy. Vince never got to law school, but he retired as a corporate planner with C&P Telco (now Verizon) and received a master’s degree in American History from George Mason University at age 71. He joined LRI at its beginning and has been a  member for 15 years.


BOARD HIGHLIGHTS
Last week's Board of Directors meeting
By Eileen Duggan, acting Secretary
AT THE FRI, FEB 23, BOARD MEETING, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the president's appointment of Jack Underhill to fill the remainder of the term of Director Don Yesukaitis, which expires in May 2008.
     The Board also approved the appointments by Richard Lanterman, Nominating Committee Chair, of the following members to fill his committee: Florence Adler, Leo Brennan, Eileen Duggan, Abbie Edwards, and Ted Parker.
     Charles Duggan commented on the final 2007 budget and reminded the Board that the budget projects a deficit of $47,000 for the year. The budget is based on 725 members and we currently have over 750 members, so we can possibly reduce the deficit if the number of registered members remains the same or increases. Charles also noted that the recent raising of our dues might possibly cause a drop off in membership.
     Over 100 people already have signed up under the spring pilot program in Loudoun where 10 courses and two ongoing activities are being offered to Loudoun members. Once registration closes on Mar 14, a list of open classes will be published in OLLI E-News and made available to all OLLI members.
     The Board will host a party on Mar 23 for volunteers in non-teaching capacities. Invitations will be sent out shortly. The Teacher Appreciation event to recognize our instructors will be held on Apr 27.
     The Executive Director announced that he and Valerie Braybrooke have been working on creating a Web-based membership survey. The information gathered will be used to help with planning and program evaluation.
     The next regular meeting of the Board is scheduled for Fri, Mar 16, at Tallwood at 10:00. OLLI members are welcome to attend. President Debbie Halverson schedules a period near the end of the agenda for public comments.


WINTER SPECIAL EVENT RESCHEDULED MATHILDE SPEIER HONORED
Due to inclement weather, the winter-term special event "Deaf Culture" had to be canceled. It is rescheduled for Fri, Mar 30, 1:00-3:00. In addition to the presentation by Harriet Kaplan, the program will include film clips on Deaf History to be shown by Karen Kenton and Pat Calahan from WETA. These film clips are part of a WETA television program in preparation.
     This Special Event is open to all OLLI members previously registered for the program and anyone else who wishes to attend. If you have not previously registered and plan to attend, please notify the office.
Former Lake Anne administrative assistant Mathilde Speier, now a Mason employee, has been voted one of the recipients of George Mason University's Exceptional Support Award.
     The awards ceremony is scheduled for Thu, Mar 8, at 2:00, in Dewberry Hall South, Johnson Center. Mathilde's friends are encouraged to attend.
     OLLI congratulates Mathilde and wishes her well!

ELECTION SEASON AT OLLI
Nominees wanted for the Board
By Richard Lanterman, Nominating Committee chair

THE ELECTION SEASON IS UPON US. No, not the 2008 presidential election, but the 2007 election of six members to the OLLI Board of Directors to fill the vacancies created by those directors whose three-year terms expire in May. A nominating committee (NOMCOM-07) has been approved by the present board. 

     The members are:

  • Florence Adler

  • Leo Brennan

  • Eileen Duggan

  • Abbie Edwards

  • Richard Lanterman (chair)

  • Ted Parker

     Please give any of them your ideas as to whom you would like to see nominated to the board. You may suggest as many, or as few, as you like. You may, of course, suggest yourself.
     The NOMCOM will review all suggestions and develop a slate for the election. The committee welcomes suggestions in person or by email or phone. The voting begins in early May. Please get your suggestions in early so the nominating committee has time to prepare for the balloting.


HOW CAN WE EVER THANK YOU?
Appreciating our volunteers

By Debbie Halverson, President

WITHOUT OUR VALIANT VOLUNTEERS, OLLI
would cease to exist. The over 140 committee members and chairs, the liaisons, the office workers who answer the telephones, all  these provide the underpinning of service that keeps the institute humming along. Considering what a great LLI we are, much of the credit goes to them.
      And so, the Board of Directors, on behalf of the whole institute, is planning on throwing a luncheon party to honor those of our volunteers who serve in a non-teaching capacity. The volunteer instructors and course coordinators will be feted at the annual Teacher Appreciation Reception scheduled for late April.
      The volunteer event will be held on Fri, Mar 23, from 11:30 to 2:00 at the Church of the Good Shepherd located at the corner of Olley Lane and Braddock Road. Those of you who have been identified as volunteers, either as current members of committees or liaisons during the fall 2006 or winter 2007 terms, will be receiving an invitation shortly. If you know that you are a non-teaching volunteer, and you do not receive an invitation by Fri, Mar 9, please call the office and they will pass your name on to me. We don’t want anyone to slip through the cracks and compiling a perfect list is something of a challenge.

     We are sure your fellow members will cheer for this acknowledgment of all that you do for OLLI.

THE DAY THE WORLD EXPLODED -- HISTORY CLUB MEETING
The next History Club meeting at OLLI will be on Wed, Mar 7, at 10:30, Tallwood. Mary Coyne will lead a discussion of Simon Winchester’s book, Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, 27 August 1883 -- a history of Indonesia, the early spice trade, the growth of colonial governments and the extraordinary events of the volcanic eruption in 1883. The Krakatoa event produced the loudest sound ever historically recorded, destroyed or damaged over 300 villages near the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, and made one big tsunamis mess.
     Also Jim Hubbard will review Dean Acheson: A Life in the Cold War, authored by Robert Beisner. Initially vilified and assailed from all sides, the mustached and debonair secretary of state is recognized as having served President Harry Truman well during the post WWII maelstrom of global power changes and the emergence of the Iron Curtain.
     All are welcome!
For details, see the History Club newsletter (pdf). This notice was contributed by History Club coordinator Bob Bohall.


TO REPLACE OR NOT TO REPLACE...
An update on chairs
By Dick Chobot, Executive Director
WELL, THAT'S NO LONGER THE QUESTION! The estimated cost of increasing the padding on the existing Tallwood chairs appears to be affordable in relation to funds available from the Friends of OLLI. Staff are working out the final details to ensure that the work can be scheduled with no disruption to spring classes. Hopefully, the repadding will achieve the optimum level of gluteal comfort that OLLI strives to provide for its members.
     Please note that the funds to refurbish the chairs IS NOT coming from the 2007 OLLI Operating Budget. These funds were raised in the October 2006 postcard solicitation of the Friends of OLLI. This solicitation raised $6,900 and was specifically directed to the upgrading or replacement of chairs. The Board, as the steward of Friends of OLLI funds, authorized this expenditure in January. Were the money not to be used for the designated purpose, the donors would have to be notified and given an opportunity to revoke their gift before the monies were repurposed for other Friend's initiatives.

PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS & RELIGION RESOURCE GROUP
Tuesday's meeting is open to all OLLI members

By Bruce Reinhart, Philosophy, Ethics & Religion Resource Group co-chair

THE PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS & RELIGION SECTOR OF OUR COURSE OFFERINGS
are a vital interest to many of our members. As co-chair of our resource group, I often get emails and other messages from OLLI members expressing their interests and appreciation. I would like all participants to know that comments of any kind are helpful and appreciated.
     For those of you who participate in these courses I would like you to know about two events.
  • First, the Philosophy, Ethics & Religion Resource Group is meeting at 10:00, Mar 6, at Tallwood to share interests in topics, courses and teachers in this sector, and the meeting is open to all who would like to share their thoughts and do some planning. If you can not make the meeting my email is is also open to everyone.
  • Second, Caroline Wilson, who has done such a wonderful job as co-chair and philosophy teacher, has to step out of this role temporarily, and Bob Lawshe has expressed his willingness to "give it a try." Having received so many appreciative comments about Bob's classes and ingenuity, I feel fortunate to have him as a partner. We are both eager to have OLLI members who participate in philosophy, ethics, and religion courses help us size up where we are and where we would like to go with these courses.
     Hope to see you on March 6th!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Our periodic Web polls provide member feedback to OLLI

LAST WEEK'S QUESTION was: "If OLLI supplied an attractively packaged gift certificate that would pay all or part of your yearly dues, which of the following would you likely do?"

Results: Forty members voted, or about five percent of the total membership.

  • Most -- 70 percent -- said they would do nothing; they were not interested in the gift-certificate idea.
  • One quarter said they would pass on an OLLI gift certificate to significant others as a gift idea.
  • A few -- five percent -- said they would send the office the names and addresses of possible givers so OLLI could propose the gift-certificate idea without direct involvement of the member.

To see the results of previous questions, visit our Website's Question page.

About OLLI E-News. OLLI E-News, OLLI's weekly newsletter, is emailed to OLLI members with email addresses on Fridays. When classes are in session, printed copies of this newsletter are distributed in classrooms, primarily for members without email. We encourage OLLI members and staff employees to submit news items and write articles; deadline to the editor is 7:00 PM Wed for that week's issue. Comments, suggestions or complaints? Please contact the OLLI E-News editor or the Publications Committee chair, Gordon Canyock.

Note about HTML graphicsIf you do NOT see photos and clickable links in this message, you might want to ask a teenaged grandchild or a neighborhood teenager or college student to fix things for you. Or you could change your email settings yourself. Here's how to view html-formatted messages like this newsletter in three popular email systems:
  • Outlook Express. Click Tools; select Options; in the Read tab, uncheck "Read all messages in plain text." 
  • Yahoo Mail. Click Mail Options/General Preferences; under Security, uncheck "Block HTML graphics in email messages from being downloaded." 
  • AOL. Upgrade, if possible, to an AOL version above 5.0. 
GMU Webmail. If OLLI E-News is being sent to your gmu.edu email address, we recommend against using GMU Webmail (i.e., iPlanet "Messenger Express") to read this newsletter because it is normally impossible to view the newsletter in GMU Webmail as a single integrated document, with text and accompanying images. You could forward the newsletter to your Web-based email account such as Yahoo Mail or Hotmail and read it there ... or just read it online at the OLLI Website after it is posted each week. Perhaps the easiest solution for those of you with GMU email accounts is to configure your desktop email system such as Microsoft Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird to retrieve mail sent to your gmu.edu address. To do this, see these instructions.

Finding the Latest Issue Online. The new weekly issue of OLLI E-News is usually posted Thursday evening. Here's how to read the online version right after it is posted:
  • It is identified by the next number in sequence for that year -- e.g., if last week's issue number were enews1-07, the next issue number would be enews2-07 and could be found at www.olli.gmu.edu/enews2-07.htm.
  • Thus, go to the list of the last 12 issues, click the most recent issue (probably last week's), change (in the address field of your browser) the enews number to the next number, and then press Enter.
