Paula Ogier
Program Planner
Paula programs our fine arts, crafts, food, wine, travel, and homes & garden courses, plus our Thursday lecture series. She also plans our art gallery exhibits and produces special literary and educational events. As a reader, writer, artist, food and gardening enthusiast, obsessive wall painter, lover of animals, and more, the center's diverse learning opportunities suit her many interests. She is also an avid singer, but only alone in her car, so nobody has actually ever heard her sing.
