The Culver City Sister City Committee invites the public to welcome two delegates from our sister city of Kaizuka, Japan, who will be here to participate in the Los Angeles Marathon.

Mr. Yuki Otsuka and Ms. Noriko Komatsu will be spending a week in Culver City during which they’ll be touring, shopping and meeting with city officials. The visit is part of a program in which Culver City and Kaizuka have sent runners to each other’s annual marathon for over two decades.

A potluck welcome dinner is being held on Friday, March 13, and local residents are invited to attend and meet Mr. Otsuka and Ms. Komatsu. The party will start at 6:30 at Mike Cohen’s house at 4378 Jasmine Avenue, Culver City.

There is no charge but attendees are requested to RSVP in advance and to bring a small appetizer, side dish, salad or dessert. RSVP to Alice at (310) 642-7604 or alice5651@gmail.com.
