Six delegates from Culver City’s Canadian sister city of Lethbridge, Alberta, will arrive in Culver City for a four-day visit near the end of August. Local listing agent Martin Feinberg notes that the group will arrive on Friday August 23 and are coming to experience life in Culver City. While here, the delegates will also be representing the business, arts, and community of Lethbridge.
Former Mayor Ed Wolkowitz and former School Board President Marla Wolkowitz will be hosting a welcome party at their home in Lindberg Park Friday night, and the Culver City community is invited to attend. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and will be a great opportunity for local residents to meet the guests. Those interested in attending should send an email R.S.V.P. to njrfroggie@aol.com. This will help to ensure that enough food and drink are available. Donations of desserts or beverages for the welcome party are encouraged.
There will be another opportunity to meet the delegates from Lethbridge on Saturday when they will be taking turns manning the Culver City Sister City Committee’s booth at Fiesta La Ballona. The visitors will be at the booth between 10:00 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. When they are not taking their turn in the booth the delegates will have time to visit the other booths to learn about the diversity of the Culver City Real Estate area. After spending time at Fiesta La Ballona the delegates will visit the ARC and the Wende Museum.
Sunday and Monday’s activities will go from morning to early evening and will include many different planned activities around Culver City.
The visiting Lethbridge delegates will include Michael Bennett, the Lethbridge Twining Society’s Director for Culver City, Dawn Leite, Executive Director, Allied Arts Council Lethbridge/AB, Ted Stilson, Executive Director for the Downtown Lethbridge BZR – Main Street Projects, Tania Stilson, entrepreneur, former Mayor Robert Tarleck, and Adam Whitford, a curatorial and publications coordinator for the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (SAAG) in Lethbridge.
