 Want to know more about Fair Trade? Celebrate World Fair Trade Month with a four week OLLI class at Bradley University. (Wednesdays, 12:30-1:30 pm).

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley University (OLLI) is an organization of over 1000 Peoria-area residents, from age 50 to 98, who want to stay vital and active as they reach and enjoy retirement. One way to do that is to keep learning, so they participate in the many programs of OLLI that include educational travel, classes, lectures, cinema events, and study groups

Registration is open now. For more information go to https://bradley.edu/academic/continue/lifelong/olli/register/
