benefits of a cardio workout with some muscle conditioning and strengthening without the impact
on the joints you get from traditional land aerobics. It is a flexible class that allows you to work at
your own pace. All exercise is done in shallow water with no swimming required. Participants must
wear swimsuits. Participants will have use of a locker in the Student Recreation Center, but will
need to bring their own locks.
                                              Big Night
                                          With Elmer Guerri
Date: Mondays, Apr il 5 & 12, 2021
Time: 10 AM - 12 PM
Place: Zoom link will be sent to Individuals registered
Cost: $6 (Zoom only)
Last year at this time OLLI was scheduled to offer Big Night the class.
Because of restrictions this time last year we had to cancel the class. We
did offer Big Night again in August but many of you were not up and
running with Zoom yet, so we are offering it again as a fresh start to
what we hope will be a much better summer.

Join Elmer as he discusses Big Night the book and movie and explains how they are both written in
part by Joseph Tropiano, but that the book was written after the screenplay. This story is about two
Italian immigrant brothers, Primo and Secondo, who in the 1950s came to a small New Jersey
seaside town to open an Italian restaurant, the fulfillment of their American Dream. Through a
series of comical gyrations and confrontations with competitor restaurateur Pascal, the brothers
attempt to make their restaurant a success. A contrived scheme of trickery and falsehoods results in
an unexpected climax to the story that can be characterized by the Italian saying, “You can only be
betrayed by those you trust.” The class will be treated to a story involving romance, mystery,
humor, colorful language and, of course, “mangia, mangia, mangia.” The movie Big Night will be
shared during class the second session of class.

                       Introduction to Photo Editing with Adobe Photoshop

No equipment is needed to attend this presentation – just an interest in seeing how Photoshop works.
There will be time for questions and answers during the workshop. Homework will be available for
those who are using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. You are encouraged to send in pictures that
need to be fixed.
