Why Travel?
“Travel renews your sense of gratitude and helps you get out of your comfort zone to try new things,” Maxwell explained. “Your perspectives change as you experience and learn about different cultural, historical, economic, religious and political viewpoints. Exploring different cultures not only broadens your understanding and appreciation of how diverse the world is, but also how much we have in common with one another.”
Maxwell will offer suggestions for arranging your own itinerary or hiring a reputable tour company, while revealing her own remarkable adventures to nearly 50 global destinations.
Tribute to Jane Reti
The Jane Reti Speaker Series began in 2023 with a grant from Andy Reti to honor his late wife. The couple had been married 42 years when Jane passed in 2022.
“This program is the result of Andy Reti’s generous grant to honor Jane’s commitment to new ideas, engaging in continuous learning, helping people in need, supporting the arts and sharing the joy that comes from an active curiosity,” said OLLI Director Tricia Berlowe. “Andy brought his vision of honoring Jane’s life and vibrance to us. Together, we enable that legacy to live on.”
