The histories, the mysteries: Venice Birthday Celebration!!!


Some sources say Venice was founded in 1904. Others vehemently state 1905 or 1908.

Like its namesake, the exact date is shrouded in the wetlands of history.

Like its namesake, the exact date is shrouded in the wetlands of history.

It has been traditional to set the date on July 4th-and why not?

Venice has been the womb of independent thought since its inception. Ask five Venetians their opinions and you're likely to get seven replies. From HARE KRISHNAS to Harry Kirshner from world-renowned artists to maintenance workers, Venice has been the Peoples' Beach.

So we the duly constituted self-proclaimed Official Centennial July 4th Venice Birthday Celebration Committee invite all independent spirits, politicos, creative and noncreative individuals, committees, and organizations who want to initiate and participate in the festivities to join us in planning the readings, plays, songs, paintings, histories, and parades.

The committee has arbitrarily picked the Centennial Celebration to be July 4, 2005. We are revving up early – this July 4, 2003 sing, dance, etc., even if you can't. Lack of ability has never inhibited true Venetians from expressing themselves.

Explore the history, the mystery of Venice, that special quality that entrances the residents.

Everyone is invited to participate to make a great special Venice event. Come as your favorite Venetian historical figure! Political artistic etc., or your unfavorite historical or contemporary figure, nearly all points of view welcomed-no sexism, racism, religion or sexual orientation baiting allowed – be your own float – organize a pooch posse!

Show 'em what funk is all about.

Viva Venice! Viva the history, the mysteries of Venice!

Attend a planning meeting: 396-0811.
