Jan. 3, 2010****

If one of your New Year's resolutions involves learning something new, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at CSU Monterey Bay has just the opportunity.

Among the course offerings are the OLLI Writers' Circle and several other writing and literature classes and workshops; Emergency Preparation: Beyond the Basics; Aging Positively; Nutrition; and Pebble Beach and the 2010 U.S. Open.

Former Assemblymember Fred Keeley is back with a six-session class on California's Tools for Democracy, a look at the history of the initiative, referendum and recall process and how those tools are used today.

Larry Wilde, humorist, motivational speaker and best-selling author, will offer a three-hour class on Jan. 16 geared for people who give presentations at work, like to entertain family members or dream of being a stand-up comic.

Community members can purchase individual OLLI class offereings (most cost $50) or a $99 semester fee which includes complimentary tuition for three OLLI courses per semester as well as many other benefits including a parking pass, invitations to social events, discounts to the university's sports center, swimming pool, athletic events and World Theater performances.
