Parents – with the kids out of school over the holidays, what could be more fun for your children grades kindergarten – 5th than the Culver-Palms Family YMCA’s Winter Day Camp, December 23 – January 10 (three weeks)? Campers must be 4-year-old and 9 months at the time of registration. It all takes place at the Palms Elementary School Y site, 3520 Motor Ave. Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a couple of holidays off, of course. For a “Winter of Wonders” campers will explore the sights, sounds, smells and taste of Winter with a variety of games, sports, arts and crafts and cooking projects. For “2014, Here We Come”, campers will be dance in the New Year! And for “Back to the Future,” campers will travel back in time to the dinosaurs and then soar to the future universe. Campers will even get caught up in a time glitch, while exploring their present selves. Camp will also include traditional day camp activities such as arts and crafts, sports and games, enrichment, fitness, clubs, projects, service learning, and much more. Winter Day Camp will be the perfect experience to usher in the New Year! For more information, contact Christopher Jefferson at 310-670-4316, [email protected] or visit the Y online at www.ymcala.org/cp! Registration packets are available at the Culver-Palms Family YMCA and at Palms Elementary School. Registration is open now!

From Culver City Sister City Committee President Marla Wolkowitz comes a great way to make some year-end donations that will warm your heart: A portion of a student’s transportation to Japan or South Korea ($1,500) could be your gift; or for every $500.00, a student scholarship will be made available at the annual CCHS Scholarship Assembly; for $250.00 the CCSCC can entertain a visitor from one of our four Sister Cities (There are at least 8-12 official visitors each year including two runners from Kaizuka, Japan and other visitors from Kaizuka, Iksan, Uruapan and Lethbridge). They welcome smaller, multi-use donations as well, e.g. they have found that email is not always the most efficient way to communicate and often have to revert to actual postage and envelopes! A donation of $50.00 buys a roll of stamps, and they usually use two rolls per mailing. You can participate by mailing your check to the Culver City Sister City Committee, Inc., P. O. Box 1072, Culver City, California 90230-1072. Questions? email [email protected] or visit the Culver City Sister City website at www.culvercitysistercitycommittee.org.
