President’s Message
Greetings fellow Culver City history lovers! Spring is upon us, and it is the season to spread the word about Culver City Historical Society and the many exciting events in our city.
We had a booth at the Screenland 5K, and another at the Culver City Book Festival at the Wende Museum on March 28th. In addition, we will have a booth on May 9th at the Culver City Auto Show.
At each one of these venues, we have a booth with a display of historical photos and our merchandise for sale. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk to people and acquaint them with who the CCHS is and what we do.
Lots of people stop to ask questions about a variety of topics related to the movie industry and Culver City history in general. If Hope Parrish is around, they are sure to get a precise and detailed answer!
Also, we seek to recruit new CCHS members. We are going to have an exciting summer getting ready to work with the City to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Fiesta La Ballona. After all, if you want to know about our local history, look no farther than the Culver City Historical Society! The Fiesta itself has a fascinating history that we will be presenting during Fiesta weekend.
Our membership has been declining each year and we need the help of all our current members to help bolster our numbers. Members get so much for so little, like our quarterly programs and a newsletter packed full of information every season. Please think of someone you can invite to our next program in April, and we’ll be sure to dazzle them!
Looking forward to seeing all of you at our next program, or as you stroll by our booth at one of the City events.
