OLLI gets summer sizzling
with “Wild, Wild West” social
KENNESAW, Ga. (May 7, 2013) - Break out your cowboy (or cowgirl!) hats and your best boots and join the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for its “Wild, Wild West” summer social at the College of Continuing and Professional Education at Kennesaw State University on June 17 at 6 p.m.
The OLLI experience is geared toward adults 50 and older. Classes explore calligraphy, Tai Chi, watercolor, history – even Facebook! Socials are held throughout the year just for this special group. Nearly 250 people come out to listen to live music, meet new people and, most of all, have a good time.
The Society Express Band will provide the soundtrack to this summer’s social. Participants are encouraged to dress in their best western garbs. A prize will be awarded for the best costume!
Attendees are also encouraged to bring pop tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The pop tabs collected help families of children that are ill.
“Through the OLLI program we not only have a really great time, but we also give back to the community,” said Michelle Girage, program director.
The cost of the social is $10 per person and includes dancing, a catered dinner and an opportunity to make new friends while catching up with old ones. Payment is required in advance. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. and dinner is served from 6-7 p.m. Dancing will be from 6-9 p.m. Reservations are required and parking is plentiful!
