Dear Beachwood Family

This weekend is FULL of activities that could and probably will be fun. We start with a piece of news that broke yesterday and it confirms what this community group and countless other community groups and individuals have been trying to tell the city - there IS an active earthquake fault beneath the Millennium Project - read below. Then read up on all the fun you can have this weekend and in the near future. Check the "in this issue" box at the right. It's our "table of contents".

Did you know that your own good news matters? That YOU matter? We want to hear about you, your news (births, departures, happy stuff and sad stuff. Sharing is good! Send submissions to BeachwoodCanyon@sbcglobal.net.

LA Times - L.A. Now: Massive Hollywood Project Sits Atop Quake Fault, California Says

Houses sitting astride an earthquake fault have been split apart during the 1971 Sylmar earthquake and the Napa earthquake in August, rendering homes uninhabitable. In China and Taiwan, taller buildings on faults have been ripped apart, killing people inside when they collapsed. Parrish said. (State geologist)

Silent Movie Fundraiser at Basant Lodge

Nov 16 at 6 p.m.

Stop the Millennium is putting on a great event at our local Basant Lodge - Here's their message:

We were thrilled to learn that the Besant Lodge on Beachwood Canyon was the first Silent Movie Club in

Southern California. We have teamed up with Cliff Retallick for one great evening in our historic neighborhood.

"The Mark of Zorro (1920) tells the story of Don Diego Vega (Douglas Fairbanks), the outwardly foppish son of a wealthy ranchero Don Alejandro in the old Spanish California of the early 19th century. Seeing the mistreatment of the peons by rich landowners and the oppressive colonial government, Don Diego, who is not as effete as he pretends, has taken the identity of the masked Robin Hood-like rogue Se�or Zorro ("Mr. Fox"), champion of the people, who appears out of nowhere to protect them from the corrupt administration of Governor Alvarado, his henchman the villainous Captain Juan Ramon and the brutish Sergeant Pedro Gonzales."

Come see "The Mark of Zorro," and enjoy live music complete with Cliff Retallick on Piano, Jazmine Ramay and Zaidee Lutetia on Vocals. You'll be hearing them singing songs from the '20s era. And of course, there will be movie-going refreshments.

All this for a $50 donation! If you haven't received your invitation, or know someone who would
like one, please contact us at STMevents2014@gmail.com. If you must drive, park in the Beachwood Market parking lot, courtesy of Alex Pappalexis. Shuttle rides from and back to the Village will be provided by the Reichenbach family.

Reserve your ticket right away as the space is limited!

Hold Your Breath - This is AMAZING!

Imagine you going to take pictures in the Woods. Then you're surprised by a group of gorillas. Several curious puppies who get on top of you. So far so good, but what about the father of the class? A gorilla with grey back, just keep an eye on their movements. Click on the image to watch this short video.
