I will send you our Journal for you to look through. We publish this every year and the jury and editors are OLLI members as well as the literary and artwork submissions.

From Michael Markowitz, IRP, New School University, New York
In 1962, a group of 152 New York City retired schoolteachers found a scholarly home for themselves in Greenwich Village where they organized a learning community at the New School for Social Research (now New School). This learning community was called the Institute for Retired Professionals (IRP). Part of a burgeoning sense of empowerment that was stirring in formerly overlooked groups, these pioneers soon identified themselves with other empowerment movements of the time - the IRP came shortly after the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), but before either the March on Washington, the Stonewall Uprising or the
publication of the Feminine Mystique. IRP was firmly based on peer-learning principles and continues to this day to encourage the participation of its students. Almost from the start, the founding directory, Hy Hirsch, encouraged self-expression but it was with the arrival of Henry Lipman in 1975 that an annual literary publication appeared in the form of IRP Review.

Today, its successor, IRP Voices is a small-circulation publication featuring the recent works of IRP students. Voices is edited by students in the program who may serve on the reading committee or
editorial board for up to 3 academic years. It contains no advertising. The annual IRP Voices publication party is one of the highlights of the social and academic year.

From Trish O’Leary, ILR, Albertus Magnus College, Connecticut
Our ILR poetry class has put out a small pamphlet with students' work twice, and on occasion, we will include a member's poem in our quarterly newsletter. I'd love to see The Apple Tree and how it is priced--maybe you will be our inspiration!

From Stephen Appel, Institute for Lifetime Education, University of Cincinnati, Ohio

MICL (Modesto Institute for Continued Learning) at Modesto Jr. College publishes an annual compendium of writings from its writing class. We would be glad to share arrange some trade with other LLIs.

From Diana Marsilje, HASP Program, Hope College, MI
For the past 15 years, HASP (Hope Academy of Senior Professionals at Hope College in Holland, MI) has published a "HASP Review" which is a booklet of original poetry, prose, and artwork by HASP members. Originally we had it printed by a local print company; but the last 2 issues have been printed by the college copy center. This year we plan to include a listing of the published works, public art shows, etc. of our members. Our goal is communication and the sharing of our
talents.

From William Reynolds, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, University of Alabama, Huntsville
Last year at OLLIE in Huntsville at UAH, the class on Writing Your Life Story published a copy of many of these stories in a journal called “Slices of Life”. I am taking this class and it will be done again this year and sold to members. I will pass on this idea as public relations .

From Lillian Broderick, Institute for Learning in Retirement, Harvard University, MA
Leonie Gordon, Director of Harvard's Institute for Learning in Retirement, asked me to respond to your inquiry about publication of members' writing at our organization. Among our members we have poets, artists, memoirists, and fiction writers. Each term classes are offered for those who want to hone their skills and share their work with fellow members. Every other year the HILR Literary Review showcases a wide selection of members' writings. The Review depends on a group of volunteer editors supplemented by expert support and guidance from our Director. I am the volunteer managing editor at present. HILR's budgets for the expense of using both a professional graphics designer and printer. Members look forward to seeing their work in print and to enjoying the contributions of their colleagues. If you wish, I'd be happy to send a copy of our 2005 issue . The next issue is scheduled for April 2007.

From Peggy Lewis, Modesto Institute of Continued Learning, CA
I am writing this message from M.I.C.L. (Modesto Institute of Continued Learning), Modesto, CA, chartered by Modesto Junior College. We have had a writing class in our curriculum for many years and each spring we publish a compilation of writings contributed by class members, which we call "Writing It Down Yearbook." Its circulation is limited - mostly to class members who have contributed to it. We would be delighted to have that information included in the EIN website, if that is the sort of thing you are looking for. Please let me know if you need more information, such as addresses, etc. I am replying to a message that was sent to Rita Matthews.

From Rosalie Robison, UWM Guild for Lifelong Learning, WI
I represent the UWM Guild for Lifelong Learning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and am the monitor for a small group of retired people interested in writing. They bring their writing to a roundtable 2 times a month and we read and discuss our work. Recently I tried something new with them which asked for their involvement as a group rather than individual writings and readings. I compiled a small chapbook representing at least one piece of work from each member and had the guild print 400 copies. I and the members have been distributing them to locations in the area to generate new
membership and as an example of what we are doing in the writing group in this guild. I would be interested in seeing a sample copy of your annual paperback to show to the members and the guild and would be happy to send you a copy of our chapbook called Word Gazing. If interested, please reply and I will send you a mailing address. My email address is rar88@earthlink.net

From Irene Robortello, LLI, Glendale Community College, CA
I believe you contacted our instructor, Meredith Rish, who is the facilitator of the "Memoirs & Me" class for Glendale Community College in Glendale, CA. In this class, we, the students, write about our life experiences, today's experiences & just stories in general. We all have different & yet, in some ways the same experiences. It is an interesting class. Each week we sign-up to read, if we have somethig. IAt the end of the school year in May, we each submit a story, short or long, and compile a book---which is then distributed in June to each one (we do pay for the printing).
