Biking the Trails
The OLLI Membership Committee has approved a new Biking the Trails interest group. The purpose of this group is to have fun and enjoy the local bike trail system. To express interest and get on the group’s email list, contact Roger Adams, rogerladams@me.com, 402-304-0962.

Stuff
Very nearly all of us are challenged to some degree to reduce the quantity of things, regardless of their importance and our attachments to them that we have to account for as our lifestyle changes. How do we do it? How do we decide? Will sharing the same challenge with others help us find solutions? Come to an organizational meeting on Tuesday, Nov 7, 3-4 p.m., at Stauffer’s Café and Pie Shoppe, 5600 S. 48th St, in the Party Room. For more information contact Stan Riggle, archaeogastropoda@hotmail.com , 402-435-0900

My Backyard
This is a rolling dynamic discussion once a month to learn about and plan what you want to do with your yard. We will discuss landscaping, lawn care, gardening, seeds, plants, weeds, making a custom garden, composting, wildlife friendliness and contacts for paid and unpaid assistance to meet your limitations and cultivate your curiosity in your habitat. Expect field trips, speakers and exchanges. Winter is the best planning time. Ripe home grown tomatoes and sweet corn by July 1! The organizational meeting will be Monday, Nov 6, 3-4 p.m., at Stauffer’s Café and Pie Shoppe, 5600 S. 48th St, in the Party Room. For more information contact Stan Riggle, archaeogastropoda@hotmail.com , 402-435-0900

Out to Lunch
This is all about organizing with other OLLI members to enjoy the cuisine of Lincoln and perhaps nearby surrounding villages. A general meeting, usually once a month, could be used to set the itinerary and swap stories about the myriad adventures. Coupons, discounts, new cuisine, tastes and new friends anyone? Join us for an organizational meeting on Thursday, Nov 9, 3-4 p.m., at Stauffer’s Café and Pie Shoppe, 5600 S. 48th St., in the Party Room. We will decide upon basic organization and when to meet next. For more information contact Stan Riggle, archaeogastropoda@hotmail.com , 402-435-0900
