Join OLLI for the Ashland 4th of July Parade!


Want to stay engaged with your OLLI at SOU friends over the summer? Show your OLLI pride and join us for the downhill 4th of July parade walk! We will be walking with the SOU contingent.


This years theme is "Go 4th For Kids! We're all kids at heart." Wear Raider red or your OLLI shirt to show support for SOU!


To join OLLI's parade contingent, contact OLLI volunteer MaryBeth Limpert at mblimpert@sbcglobal.net. Continue checking your weekly Newsflash for more information about meeting time and location.


Learn more about the parade on the Ashland Chamber website.


Have You Made an Annual Gift to OLLI Yet?


The last day of our fiscal year is June 30th. If you’ve yet to donate this year, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation to the OLLI at SOU Annual Fund before the deadline. 


We've set an audacious goal to reach 30% member giving participation this fiscal year, and thanks to an amazing response from supporters, we just surpassed 26% of members who are also donors—we need just seventy-five more giving members to reach our goal!


In celebration of our 30th anniversary, please make a gift of any size by June 30th to help us surpass 30% of members donating!
