neighbors at a VNC meeting. All are welcome.

The next VNC Board of Officers meeting will take
place on January 16th at 7pm at Westminster
Elementary School, 1010 Abbot Kinney Blvd. Please
come to meet your neighbors, express your opinion on
the issues before the board and learn more about
what's going on in Venice.

following neighborhoods: area 1 (Ballona Lagoon
West Bank), area 2 (Ballona Lagoon East Bank), area
