The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at KSU’s College of Continuing and Professional Education will have a “Roaring 20’s” themed social on Monday, October 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the KSU Center.
Highlights of the night include dancing and entertainment by the Atlanta Seventeen – a non-profit band playing popular favorites from the ’20s, ‘30s and today. Guests can also expect contests, door prizes and a curated art exhibit from OLLI students. Art mediums may include oil, acrylic, pencil, pen and ink, watercolor and photography.
“We look forward to OLLI Socials every quarter,” said Pat Walker, program manager. “The event offers members, family and friends a festive atmosphere that fosters friendship, fond memories and entertainment. They bring our community together.”
