Exciting Plans in the Making for the 30th Anniversary Venice Art Walk & Auctions, May 16 & 17, 2009 Volunteer Co-Chairs Leslie Adler and Mary Jensen are already hard at work on the 30th anniversary Venice Art Walk & Auctions, May 16 & 17, 2009. “The Venice Art Walk & Auctions has raised millions of dollars for Venice Family Clinic over the past three decades,” Adler says, “and that makes it well worth the many months of effort.” Expect to see dozens of arty spaces you’ve never seen before, plus an all-new Art Happening, the always popular Art & Architecture Tours, and plenty of opportunities to hand-pick original works from the 400-piece Silent Art Auction. For more information on corporate sponsorship and other involvement opportunities, contact Venice Family Clinic’s development department at 310.392.9255 or vfcinfo@mednet.ucla.edu. Special thanks to the 2009 Venice Art Walk & Auctions Steering Committee: Leslie Adler (Co-Chair), Alison Dockray (Co-Chair), Mary Jensen (Co-Chair), Ellen Belot, Karen Chu, Amy Coane, Rhonda DeVictor, Lisa Gelber, Dena Kleinrock, Roya Mina, Michael MacLachlan, Pam Morgenstern, Jodie Rea, Katrina Revenaugh, Alan Shaffer, Valerie Shavers, Ricki Sherlin, Sandy Singer, Matt Tager, Jessamine Tepper, Jamie Theis, and Irene Weibel
