‘Tis the season – football season that is, and the Culver City Elks Lodge #1917 members will be ready to gather the herd to root for their favorite teams starting September 12 at the Lodge.
Continuing to regularly attract new members is the Culver City Rock & Mineral Club, most recently adding Stella Green, Ashley Huitron, Renee Kraus, Kaoru Rogers, Peter Stankavich, and Sencee Tagami to their roster of rockhounds. We’re betting they’ll be at the club’s September monthly meeting, set for Monday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. when the program will be “Ethiopian Opals and Green Amber,” presented by Gabriel “Gaby” Mosesson, of Ethiopia Imports. Gaby and his family just returned from a month in Ethiopia, and he will have photos, videos, and gemstones to share. Gabriel’s two-part visual presentation will be augmented with many actual examples of his gemstones. (Plus, he’ll have rough and cut stones for sale). Guests are always welcome at the meetings, held at the Veterans’ Memorial Building, 4117 Overland Avenue.

Right down to the wire! Culver City Unified School District proudly opened the curtain on the first day of school to present the county’s newest, safest, and absolute best playground equipment for just about all preschool and elementary students to enjoy. The passage of the Measure CC Bond enabled the purchase and installation of equipment that will help our kids develop not only their physical abilities, but increase cognitive and vocabulary skills with opportunities to play and learn for years and years to come!
The Culver City Senior Citizens Association Board of Directors is pleased to honor the Wednesday Volunteer Crafts Group as “Seniors of the Month” for September, 2016. These dedicated Wednesday Volunteer Crochet Group members crochet sweaters, hats, booties, blankets and scarves to give to various Veterans groups, Operation Smile, Para Los Ninos Children’s Center and a multitude of nursing homes and children’s groups. The group has existed in many forms for many years, with the present group being led by Shirley Kym Campbell. She is very proud of the work that these women do to help others and values the time spent each Wednesday making beautiful handmade items to give comfort to others. They share stories and enjoy each other’s company while creating their gifts. Congratulations to this terrific group who gives so much! Their gifts of handmade items give warmth and comfort to so many people in the community. If you would like to donate yarn to the group, they would be very appreciative! The Culver City Senior Center is located at 4095 Overland Avenue, corner Culver Blvd.
