Omnilore's
FORUM
(3-per-Year
Speaker Luncheon)
Upcoming Forum | Future
Forum Schedule
The Forum is an
Omnilore special event held three times a year. (Three-times-per-year is
new in 2024. It was previously four-times-per-year,
but changed to align with Omnilore's trimesters.)
In the past year, our Forum
has been held at various Palos Verdes venues, including
at the Mary & Joseph Retreat (where we were on Oct.
31), the Original Red Onion, and Los Verdes golf course.
Past Forums have featured
college professors, scientists, researchers, business
leaders, newspaper editors, famous local artists —
including some Omnilore members.
Each Forum provides an opportunity for members to gather
in a social setting to enjoy a special luncheon followed
by a stimulating lecture presentation. Forums give
members and their guests an opportunity to meet and
socialize outside the regular classroom sessions.
The third Forum of the
year (end-October)
is actually our general membership's Founder Burt Cutler
Memorial Forum and Annual Meeting. At this
meeting, in addition to a wonderful lunch and a
stimulating speaker, we also elect our officers for the
coming year.
Omnilore Forums are open to
non-members. Attending is one way to become more
acquainted with our organization and members.
