OLLI Cleese Event a Huge Success
Thank you everyone who helped make OLLI’s An
Evening with John Cleese event in November a smashing success. Mr. Cleese, a long-time
member of the OLLI board, kept the audience laughing as he read
from a variety of materials, often interjecting his own thoughts
and comments. The Natural History Museum’s Fleischman Auditorium
was sold out with a standing room only crowd of Anglophones and
Cleese fans. Every OLLI Annual Passport Member was offered a complimentary
ticket to the event. The culminating segment of the evening was
a rapid exchange about life and learning between OLLI’s “Master
of Ceremonies,” Dr. Ron Tobin (Associate Vice Chancellor at UCSB),
and Mr. Cleese. Opportunities like this are just another reason
to join as an Annual Passport Member.
