COMMUNITY BRIEFS
25th Annual John Lennon Birthday Remembrance on Oct. 9. The free-to-the-public celebration will include music from the late singer/songwriter from The Beatles. There will be a highlighted cake-cutting ceremony, with official cake-cutter Chris Carter, host of America’s longest-running Beatles radio show, “Breakfast with The Beatles.”
Santa Monica peace activist Jerry Rubin will serve as the master of ceremonies. Just prior to the event, Lennon’s star, which has been in place since Sept. 28, 1988, will be polished by Dennis Garling, one of the official Hollywood Walk of Fame star polishers, who frequently polishes the stars of both Lennon and The Beatles.
The Remembrance will take place at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 9. Lennon’s star is located at 1750 North Vine St. in front of the Capitol Records Tower Building. For information, call the event’s sponsoring group Alliance for Survival at (310) 399-1000.
