It’s a very moving ceremony, one we’ve attended in the past and will attend again this week: our own 9/11 Remembrance, wherein the City of Culver City honors those lost in the attack on the World Trade Center September 11, 2001. Members of both the Culver City Fire and Police Departments will participate in the Memorial, which takes place in the City Hall Courtyard, 9770 Culver Blvd. Members of the public are invited to attend, but seating is reserved only for those present who lost a loved one on September 11th. Parking is available at City Hall on parking level one. Safety personnel will assemble at 6:15 a.m., and at 6:59 a.m. (the time of the South Tower collapse), a bell will be rung. One minute of complete silence begins at 7:00 a.m., and at 7:15 a.m. the ceremony is completed. For more information contact Captain Bill Heins at (310) 253-6840.
In addition to its regular Sunday services, Westside Unity Church offers a weekly Wednesday Meditation and Metaphysical Bible Class: This Wednesday, September 11 you can attend Meditation 6:30 p.m. – 6:45 p.m., and the Metaphysical Bible Class from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., both facilitated by Rev.

Why not cap off next weekend at Hinano’s, located straight down Washington Blvd. until you (almost!) hit the beach — “U.S. 99,” a local trio playing blues and rock ‘n roll (featuring ‘Big Harmonica Bob’) will be playing from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., and it’s always a good time – the popcorn is free and the hamburgers are epic! The street address is 15 Washington Blvd.
The Culver City Education Foundation warmly welcomes everyone back to school, and no wonder! CCEF gets excited when they can see the fruits of their year-round labors to provide enriching programs, equipment and opportunities for all of CCUSD students. Thanks to CCEF’s work last year, there are new musical instruments in the schools (including recorders for all 3rd graders), several new computers, plus new kitchen equipment for high school culinary arts classes. CCEF’s fundraising has made it possible to continue District-wide Math Clubs, the 2nd and 3rd grade music program, academic support through AVID, Successmaker and Odyssey software, not to mention Academic Coaches for Athletes. In all, CCEF raised a whopping $336,000 in just the past year, and invite everyone to help this coming year by supporting the annual CCEF All For One fundraising campaign right now – visit [email protected] to see what you can do!

She’s one of the RSVP Singers group who entertains folks in assisted living and nursing homes every week, and you’re sure to see her at every special event, dance, or party where she’s busy helping to serve refreshments, collect fees, and/or greet you in her friendly, cheerful way. Congratulations, Annie! We’re tired just writing about all you do!!
