Welcome to the VCAFI New Bee's -
Jeri & Tom Cannon - Jeri is already putting together our media kit. Tom has put together a new and very dynamic brochure for the Foundation. Two fresh new face's who are not afraid of getting right to it. Jeri said we are going to move mountains together and I believe her emphatically.
Sharon Vaswani - Boots already on the ground. Sharon has taken it upon herself to get out and start meeting with local businesses to help promote the upcoming Clown College reunion in October 2013. Plus she got us into the Venice Farmers Market to promote our Foundation on July 19, 2013 8am-12pm. Please visit us and get your support bumper sticker or lawn sign. Maybe a tee shirt, book, or circus jewelry!
June Brune - New volunteer does not do email or computer. We will call you everytime we need help!
Jessica Heiny - Recent college graduate in Civil Engineering. Jessica will be meeting with the Foundation on Thursday bringing Civil, Structural Engineering, and Surveying in-kind services for the project.
Incredible!
Talking about bee's Thank you to The Sun Coast Bee Keepers Association for getting the word out that a huge hive was discovered under an old cargo container on site. The bee's got real mad at us for disturbing their home. They let us know by chasing down and stinging several of us. Thanks to the quick work of a local Sun Coast member the bee's will have a new proper home some where else, away from the Arena site, (Thank GOD)! Sharyon Rose - Long time VCAFI volunteer will take on the responsibility to archive all the articles and photo's for the foundation. Thank you Sharyon! Shirley J. Cannon - Former school principal is going to help this project move forward. Thank you Shirley for you support at City Council! Judy Houston - "Judy Writes" Long time volunteer keeps you informed through her very interesting Venice Gondolier Column.
