  • Lunch Discussion Roundtable

The discussion will be held at a local restaurant and limited to a maximum of 10 participants (participants that signed up last semester will be given first preference). All participants must be open-minded and willing to listen to all sides of a debate. We will meet for two hours from 11:30 to 1:30 on Thursdays. The location will be determined by the moderator and may be modified based on the group’s needs. The first nine to sign up will be included, and if more than nine people are interested, they may become substitutes. Please contact the Club Chair to be placed on a substituion list. Contact  Bill.adkisson@outlook.com. If the interest is great enough, we can consider a second table of eight or perhaps a second group on a different day.

  • Photography Club
  • We are excited to announce the formation of the OLLI Photography Club! This club is dedicated to nurturing a passion for photography with cell phones and/or mirrorless DSLR cameras. Enjoy monthly meetings where club members can share knowledge, critique each other’s work, and enhance their photography skills together. We will organize monthly photo field trips, providing opportunities for members to practice their craft in diverse settings while enjoying social interaction.

    We meet every third Thursday of the month at 6 PM, beginning in March, for our regular meetings. Additionally, we host a photo field trip on the second Saturday of each month, starting in April. Our goal is to empower our members to impress family and friends with stunning photographs taken with your cell phones, compact cameras, or mirrorless DSLR cameras. Joining us is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your skills, connect with new people, and deepen your appreciation for the art of photography. For more information, please contact Jim Brown at hobesound@comcast.net.

 

  • Travel Club
  • The OLLI Travel Club gives you the opportunity to enjoy the best our world has to offer at affordable prices. We meet to share information about planned trips for those interested in those trips. Information about our meetings will be sent to those on the Travel Club email list. Travel information can also be found at olli.fsu.edu. You don’t need to be a member of OLLI to join the Travel Club; however, you do need to be a member should you choose to travel with OLLI. To be added to the Travel Club email list, or to continue receiving emails, contact Harriet and George Waas at waas01@comcast.net.

 

  • Walking Club
  • Join other OLLI members on various trails around Tallahassee. Pick your group based on your pace and type of walking surface: even-paced (mostly on paved surfaces), or more challenging (somewhat rugged trails). Several times each week we meet at specified locations noted in our email. Benefit from two keys to longevity – social connections and physical exercise. Contact Vicki Holley at 1217vjholley@gmail.com.
