On this tour, we experienced a behind-the-scenes look at the company that provides transportation for OLLI’s regional trips and more than 400,000 passengers on school outings, airport transfers, sporting events, and civic events. We saw some of the 61 motor coaches that travel more than five million miles annually, viewed the staging process used to prepare the coaches for each trip, and watched as mechanics repaired and fueled the vehicles (which use approximately 10,000 gallons of diesel each week). We also visited the offices to learn more of the history of the company and see how the customer service staff handles the logistics involved with each trip.
OLLI thanks Bob Henderson for providing such a thoughtful, in-depth tour!

Celebrating 20 Years!
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley University (OLLI) is a group of more than 1,000 individuals, age 50 and over, who learn together through three distinct programs: OLLI Classes, OLLI Learning Trips, and OLLI Study Groups.
Here, members can discuss what they learned, what they enjoyed, and offer suggestions to enhance future program offerings.
Take a look at the photos we're taking, and the discussions we're having as OLLI members.
Whether we're in class, in town, or out of town ... we're on the go, having fun, and constantly learning.
We look forward to reading your comments!
While you're online, be sure to visit our website www.bradley.edu/continue/olli to register for our programs.
Don't forget -- OLLI has its own YouTube Channel, where you can see video clips of Learning Trips, Classes, and Study Groups!
