VNC Town Hall Meeting, High Waves, Flooding,and Tsunami
Start: 7:00 pm

Body:

On December 26, 2004, off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, the world witnessed the awesome power of a Tsunami. Since that time, increased concerns about the possibility of such a tsunami occurring in the Santa Monica Bay have led to more information and action by government agencies. Because we in Venice live in an exposed, low coastal plain, flooding from a combination of heavy rains, high tides, and high waves, or even a tsunami is probable. Learn the risks of how a landslide off of the Palos Verdes cliffs could cause a 42 foot tsunami wave to strike Venice, Marina del Rey, and Playa del Rey.

Hope you can join us for free food, drinks and fun to show your support for the Venice creative community and the Venice High School Dropout Prevention Program at The Venice Walk Premiere Party on June 14 in, where else - Venice!

Don't miss the premiere screening of this hot new series shot entirely in Venice, CA starring Bob Hegyes of Welcome Back Kotter fame and a young ensemble cast of juvenile delinquents (Epstein is back with his own band of Sweathogs!). The Venice Walk is inspired by Bob's
experience as a teacher at Venice High where he became friends with the on-site probation officer assigned to students. His "anti-OC," "Laguna Beach on steroids" vision for The Venice Walk comes from real-life stories of real kids with real problems - and his own household of four teenagers that he's raising in Venice where he's
been a long-time local.
