Osher Special Events with Fees
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Osher Special Events with Fees provide a fun way for members to socialize and experience our surrounding community together. These events and tours also help us form new friendships and stay connected in between terms when classes are not in session. Events are organized by a dedicated committee of volunteer members and through partnerships with multiple cultural organizations and businesses in our area. Registration and payment of fees are required to attend. Osher Special Events with Fees provide materials, food, beverages, supplies, space rental, etc. that must be paid in advance to each vendor. Therefore, these fees are non-refundable. Members are allowed to invite non-member guests only by advance permission from the Osher staff and on a space-available basis for each individual event. PLEASE NOTE: YOU MAY NEED TO SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE TO SEE ALL THE EVENTS LISTED.

"Sweepstakes" Full Film and Discussion: Joanne, an 88-year-old widow, has been groomed and defrauded by unscrupulous individuals. Can her children stop the scam before she loses all of her money?

Osher is proud to present "Sweepstakes" , a 55-minute film written, produced, and directed by local filmmaker Stephen Williams, featuring Osher member Anne Cullimore Decker. "Sweepstakes" has been showcased at 18 national and international film festivals and offers a powerful narrative on the emotional and financial toll of deception. Last fall, Osher members previously viewed Parts I and II. Now, be one of the first to experience the full film, including its gripping conclusion in Part III. Following the screening, stay for a Q&A session with filmmaker Stephen Williams and Alan Ormsby, Director of AARP Utah, as they discuss the film's themes and share insights on protecting our communities from fraud.
