I love the recorded Zoom classes. The availability of recordings is timely and so convenient when I’m unable to Zoom in real time. OLLI instructors are extraordinary and class content is superb. Plus, Premium Membership is such a good value. With it, 3-4 classes per session are actually very inexpensive!
