This special OLLI outing is a wonderful opportunity to relax, reflect on the season, and connect with fellow members in a beautiful and unique setting.
Whether you’re new to the bay or have lived here for years, seeing Humboldt from the Madaket offers a fresh perspective and a memorable way to close out the summer together.
