Café Presentations & Special Events

OLLI Café events focus on improving your quality of life. They feature a guest speaker, followed by a short question and answer session. Better yet, OLLI Café events are included with your Annual OLLI Membership Fee. We do ask that you pre-register for OLLI Café events.
