Free Zoom Lecture this Week, Zoom Resources and More
Engineering America’s First Moon Missions
FREE lecture with Professor Brandon Brown this Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
Join your fellow OLLI members for a FREE Zoom course with Brandon Brown from the University of San Francisco, and author of The Apollo Chronicles. Professor Brown’s discussion will primarily focus on the Apollo program. While most histories have put a spotlight on the astronauts, he will share a look at the epic work of NASA’s engineers, from meeting tough deadlines and performing technical miracles, to drawing schematics around the clock and coping with warning lights that blinked at the worst possible time.
There is no fee for OLLI members to participate, but you do need to register online through the course registration page.
Practice Makes Perfect!

Zoom Use Tips Now On Our Website
An Update from OLLI Board Member, Gail Yokote
A hard-working group of OLLI volunteers have created a set of Zoom self-help tips, which are now available on the OLLI Resources Page of our website! The first set of tips: How to Join a Zoom Meeting by Device now appears in the OLLI Resources Section. Additional OLLI Zoom guides are forthcoming.
OLLI members Maggie Dorsey, Catherine Masi and I organized and developed the Zoom Tips guides to assist OLLI members who wish to use Zoom more proficiently. This working group looks forward to feedback from OLLI members regarding the OLLI Zoom Tips guides.
