Centennial Celebration Committee chair
In recognition
of the City of
Beverly Hills
100th anniver-
sary, the City is
planning an 18-
month centen-nial celebration
that will kick

2013 and con-
tinue until the
end of 2014.
On Tuesday afternoon, the City Council
ntroduced Dick Rosenzweig as the chair
of the 100th Anniversary Committee that
will work with Mayor Barry Brucker,
Councilmember Lili Bosse, and City staff to
plan the celebration.
Rosenzweig is president of the Wallis

Playboy Enterprises. His civic involvement
includes serving as a Conference & Visitors
Bureau board member and Citizens Budget
Review Committee member, and past presi-
dent of both the Chamber of Commerce and

be looking to every area of the community,the residents, the
hoteliers, the restaurateurs,
everyone in the community who would
like to be involved in this celebration,
Rosenzweig said.
Rosenzweig highlighted a number of cele-
bratory events the committee is considering,
including a Happy Birthday Beverly Hills
concert at the Saban Theatre in Summer
2013, a film festival at the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts & Sciences featuring
movies filmed in Beverly Hills, and a dis-
play of historical photos in the Beverly Hills
Library. The events taking place in 2013 will
be a drum roll leading up to the celebra-
tion of Beverly Hills centennial year during
2014, Rosenzweig said.
The City has allocated $250,000 for the
celebration from the current fiscal years
tourism and marketing budget, with the
expectation a similar amount will be allocat-
ed in the next two fiscal years during the City
Councils budget process. For additional
funding, the City is considering establishinga corporate
sponsorship program with help
from Argus Group, a consultant that would
reach out to potential sponsors.
The City also plans to develop a merchan-
dising program through its branding agree-
ment with William Morris Endeavor, and a
100th anniversary logo.
