13-225x300Kudos to the Culver City Rotary Club! Past President Chris King reported that the Upward Bound House’s two Rotary-adopted units will be ready to be occupied within the next few weeks. Upward Bound will provide the Rotary Club the demographics of the two families who will be moving in (how many children, what their likes are, etc.), and a shopping list of what the families need. Chris is now looking for some volunteers to go shopping for those items with him, and also volunteers who will help decorate the units within the next two to four weeks. The club will be reimbursed for all that they purchase through the funds that the club has already donated to Upward Bound.

If you’re crazy “fore!” golf, you’ll like the Culver City Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Golf Tournament, set for Monday, October 20 at DeBell Golf Club, 1500 E. Walnut Ave., Burbank. This may sound like another language, but we’re quoting directly from the flyer: “It’s a Shamble Format with a double bogey maximum score,” which we’re sure golfers understand, but we don’t… A Registration/Skills Contests run from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m., 11:00-11:45 a.m. Canyon Grille Box Lunch, 11:45 a.m. Shotgun Start, and at 5:30 p.m. a Sumptuous Awards Reception. Entry packages run from $225.00 to $1,300.00, with a portion of the tournament proceeds going to the Culver City Education Foundation. To register and find out the benefits of each level of participation/package, call Barbara Brody at the Culver City Chamber of Commerce, (310) 287-3850 or email her at [email protected].

We’re off to see the Wizard! And if you’re a “Wizard of Oz” fan, you’ll love the Culver City Historical Society’s next general meeting, coming up on Wednesday, October 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Teen Center, 4153 Overland Avenue. It’s the Wiz’ 75th birthday this year, and Aljean Harmetz, author of The Making of the Wizard of Oz, will discuss her book and reveal facts about this classic movie, made in Culver City. There’ll be songs from the film, a slide show narrated by Harmetz, a documentary with interviews and stories from many of the original cast, and a question and answer session. A signed copy of Harmetz’s 75th anniversary edition of her book will be given by a drawing, and all attendees will have a chance to win. After the program, a book signing will take place in the Culver City Historical Society’s Archives and Resource Center (ARC), just steps

away, where her book will be for sale for $19 (cash or checks only) while supplies last. Harmetz also will sign books for those who bring them that night. The ARC will have displays showing movie history in “The Heart of Screenland.” For more information call the Society at (310) 253-6941 or inquire by e-mail at [email protected].
