1.  JULY 4th EVENT – THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to our residents and sponsors!!!

It was our 13th annual event…..and we grew again by hundreds of attendees. It was a large and festive 4th of July celebration! See the pics below—it was a ton of fun!

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:

ACS Security has been feeding us for many years. They happily and swiftly cooked for the entire crowd. Their BBQ dedication was fantastic. To Debbie Allen and her volunteer staff, your dogs were delicious and the line was so super efficient. Amazing!

Personalized seasonal, Holiday and Promotional Displays for: Retail Centers, Private Homes and Estates, Premium Hotels, Corporate Offices and Public Spaces.

UCLA Health returned for the 4th year as our Platinum sponsor with a generous contribution that covered many of our expenses. Thank you, UCLA Health for your support of Holmby Westwood. All enjoyed the fans and beach ball giveaways.

Ralphs returned for the 4th year as our Gold Sponsor with their iconic Ralphs antique Delivery Truck in our parade.

Target in Westwood kept kids smiling with face painting and lemonade. Thank you to Rudy and his friendly Target team.

Whole Foods was new this year with their 365 guessing game

Our local realtors also deserve our appreciation for their sponsorship. Their sponsorship covered all the kids activities, including the DJ, obstacle courses and crafts.

The firemen from Fire Station #71 were outstanding and so gracious to stay at the park while kids admired them and their truck. Thanks to the LAPD too.

SPREAD THE WORD about the good work our association does for the benefit of its residents. Community building, regular email communication among the residents and advocacy in City Hall are just a few of the activities our Board undertakes. We must work together for our shared concerns of architectural integrity, greenscape preservation, emergency preparedness and crime watch. Residents pay $95 annually to join HWPOA. You must pay the dues to be a member; being a resident alone won’t do it. Email Dana to sign up at hwpoa@aol.com.

Please send your business to our main sponsors, as they dedicated their time for goodwill and exposure. These sponsors ensure our event takes place with food and activities for all!

5.  JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL – LEO BAECK TEMPLE

Jewish Film Festival
Leo Baeck Temple, 1300 N. Sepulveda. Free parking.
Tuesday, July 18, at 7 pm

$5.00 per ticket. Purchase at door. Light refreshments.

Come join us to watch “Infidel” – A hilarious, ribald, satirical film that will have the audience laughing out loud!

The set up of the movie. Mahmud (wonderful Iranian comic actor Omid Djalili) is a loving husband, doting father and something of a “relaxed” Muslim. He may not be the most observant, but in his heart he is a true Muslim. After his mother’s death, Mahmud finds his birth certificate which reveals that he was adopted at birth and HE’S JEWISH.

He turns to Lenny (Richard Schiff of the WEST WING), a drunken Jewish cab driver to help him with this life crisis. So many plot twists so much to laugh at and so much fun. A satirical send up of almost every group and religion.
