The Culver City Sister City Committee acts to facilitate and maintain relationships between Culver City and our foreign sister cities. Our goal is to develop and maintain long-term community based programs that foster international and intercultural understanding. This is achieved through cultural, educational and commercial exchanges of people, ideas and materials both within and between the Culver City community and our sister cities.

Message from CCSC President Barbara Honig:

Dear Members,

Barbara Honig We are in the midst of a very exciting season. We are awaiting the imminent arrival of an eight member delegation from our sister city of Iksan, South Korea including the Vice Mayor and President of the City Council.

The delegation will be presented to our City Council at their council meeting on Monday, November 14th followed by a Dessert Reception at the Grand Casino Bakery at 7:30pm. Their five day whirlwind visit to Culver City will include tours of our city hall, police and fire departments, senior center, veterans auditorium and Sony Studios, and meetings with community leaders. They will also visit the Getty Museum, the Korean Cultural Center, the Gene Autry Museum and Westfield Culver City Shopping Center and enjoy many of our fine Culver City dining establishments.

KAIZUKA/CULVER CITY RAISING MONEY TOGETHER TO HELP THE RELIEF EFFORT

The Culver City Sister City Committee will be collecting money for the relief effort and sending it to our Kaizuka sister city organization which is part of the city of Kaizuka. Kaizuka will be forwarding the funds along with the funds they are collecting from their citizens directly to the Japanese relief organization.

We are accepting checks (noted for Japan Relief) and they should be sent directly to:

Culver City Sister City Committee, Inc.
Japan Relief
P. O. Box 1072
Culver City, CA 90232

Contributions are tax deductible and receipts will be issued for all contributions. The U.S. Bank will be waiving bank charges for the transfer of the funds to Kaizuka.

It is at times like this that we realize we are all the same. An earthquake, a tsunami, a volcano, a flood, a tornado, etc. can happen anywhere to anyone. What makes us human is our spirit and compassion to help each other.
