El Marino Language School in Culver City will host its first Family Holiday Boutique, a fundraising shopping event featuring holiday gifts, kids crafts, food trucks, DJ, karaoke and more on Saturday, December 2. A percentage of all proceeds will go to Advocates for Language Learning El Marino (ALLEM), a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that raises money to provide a native-speaking language support provider (an adjunct) in every classroom at El Marino Language School.  

The holiday shopping marketplace will feature 30 local vendors including fellow parents of El Marino who will be selling kids clothing, toys, gifts, jewelry, ceramic arts, candy and more. Event entertainment includes the ultimate traveling craft party, Craft Camper, sponsored by Culver City Mazda and a live DJ with music and karaoke, sponsored by El Marino parent and real estate professional Vivian Lesny. Food truck “Tokyo Doggie Style” and Taco Cart caterer Iguala Guerrero will also be on-site to feed hungry shoppers.
