This Monday evening, May 9, the Culver City Rock & Mineral Club invites you to enjoy Kent Lauer’s visual presentation of his glass lapidary workings. Lauer has been working with glass for more than 30 years, and while Kent is a geologist, what started as a fascination with glass soon became a career. His work has since been seen worldwide, on beautiful women, in important homes and historic buildings. Living in Southern California has given Kent many chances to work on glass for films, commercials and celebrities. He has been teaching beveling and dichroic glass sculpture at shows and privately for over 25 years, and will be displaying some of his work at the meeting. Visitors are always welcome, so make sure to be at the Rotunda Room of the Veterans’ Memorial Building at 7:30 p.m. to be dazzled!

One of the Culver City Rotary Club’s most rewarding projects includes Donations to Camp Pendleton Mothers & Babies. There are over 70,000 Marines at Pendleton, and more than 160 babies are born there every month! Many times family and friends are far away when the young couples arrive, and they only have empty living quarters. Rotarians are collecting baby or young children’s clothing, diapers, toys, books, bath tubs, gently-used strollers, car seats and/or cribs and furniture, dishes, pans, household furniture and other household items, and gift cards – all of which help out young Marine families so much! If you have any items to donate, email Dannie Cavanaugh at [email protected].

Reading books just became more fun than ever with the Culver City Julian Dixon enhanced-buzz-965-1371144401-6Library’s Edible Book Festival! What’s an Edible Book? An edible book is anything having to do with books that is made out of edible materials. You can re-create a picture from a book, a book cover, or a play-on-words. It’s a fun way to combine food and literature in any sort of drama or whimsy that inspires you. You can choose to make a realistic facsimile of part of a book, or use your creativity for a play-on-words with the book title and the ingredients. Some examples might range from a plate of Green Eggs and Ham in homage to Dr. Seuss, frowning grapes, for Grapes of Wrath, Alice in Wonderbread, or green- frosted graham crackers for Graham Greene. Participants are invited to make their edible books and bring them to the library on Saturday, May 14 between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m.. From 1:30 to 2:30, you may admire the displays and vote for your favorite. At 2:30, prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Most Humorous, Most Creative, Best Kids’ Book Portrayal, Most Delicious- Looking, Most Inspired, People’s Choice, and more. A special cake will be available for tasting, and everyone’s invited join in celebrating books, food and friendship at the Library, 4975 Overland Avenue.
