It’s birthday countdown time! Culver City’s actual Incorporation Day was September 20, 1917, so this Wednesday, September 20, 2017 will celebrate not only the City’s official 100th birthday that will include remarks by elected officials, Harry Culver’s grandson, Dr. John Battle, a color guard, pledge of allegiance and our national anthem, but will feature a signing ceremony hosted by Mayor Jeff Cooper with our new Centennial Sister City officials from Capo d’Orlando. Buono!! This all takes place in the City Hall Courtyard beginning at 11:00 a.m., and includes lunch. Come on down – 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. with the adjacent Dan Patacchia Conference Room open at 10:00 a.m. featuring a mini-museum of historical artifacts that will go into the 100 year Time Capsule. You’ll even be invited to include a handwritten note about our city to those who will open the capsule in 2117…
From the City of Culver City comes this message: “Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Many of our community members have asked how they can help. According to FEMA, the best way to help is with cash donations to trusted organizations. Financial contributions to recognized disaster relief organizations are the fastest, most flexible, and most effective method of donating. Organizations on the ground know what items and quantities are needed, often buy in bulk with discounts and, if possible, purchase through area businesses, which supports economic recovery. To help, visit National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (National VOAD)’s page for a list of trusted organizations.
