Fact: Just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you need to stop growing — and taking cool classes.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) offers a variety of courses on every topic from film to yoga for adults 50+.

Meet course instructors, learn about offerings, and watch demos at OLLI’s Spring Open House, happening today from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Central Baptist Church (110 Wilson Downing Rd.). New memberships are currently available to purchase online, with Spring registration open Jan. 8-9.

More fun this way.
