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.
