The Culver City Garden Club will meet this Tuesday evening, June 4, at 7:00 p.m. at Star Education Center, 10117 Jefferson Blvd. Participants can bring their green thumb-related questions to the plant “Show, Tell & Ask” session following the presentation, “Workshop on Succulent Container Garden Creations.” CCGC member Louise Scholten will be the presenter, and after her demonstration everyone is invited to make their own creations – plants and soil will be provided (but please bring something in which to place your plants – be creative; toy trucks, hats, containers of any kind can work.) Refreshments will be served, but no plant raffle at this meeting – the Garden Club’s big show is coming up on June 22 and members are (or should be) busy grooming their entries!

And what are you doing from 10:00 a.m. – noon this coming Tuesday, June 4 that’s so important? We’re pretty sure the Culver City Fire Department has something better: a free Hands-Only CPR training in honor of National CPR Week. This critical training takes place at two locations: Culver City Fire Station #1 at 9600 Culver Blvd. Culver City 90232, at Westfield (Fox Hills) Mall 6000 Sepulveda Blvd. CPR instructors will demonstrate the basics and proper techniques of Hands-Only CPR, and participants will have the opportunity to practice on mannequins. The training will not result in CPR certification, but information on how you can get certified will be available. Since 80% of cardiac arrests occur at home, it stands to reason that the life you save with CPR is likely to be someone you love. For more information about the free Hands-Only CPR training, contact Captain Rob Kohlhepp at (310-253-6830) or [email protected].

Just a reminder – Culver City High School’s Class of 1958’s 55th Reunion is happening this summer from noon-4:00 p.m. at Carlson Park on July 20. Admission is free, just bring a picnic lunch. For those who may not recall (just kidding!) the park offers sheltered tables with benches, four barbeques, two fireplaces, and lots of grassy areas under shady trees. The committee’s also planning a Happy Hour at the Culver Hotel on Friday, July 19 and a Sunday breakfast at Dinah’s on the 21st, so it’ll be a full weekend. Around 75 responses so far, so CCHS alums should be sure to get their names on the list by visiting www.culverhighalumni.org.
