Keeping Venice Beautiful

Thanks to the volunteers from Keep Venice Beautiful, a committee of Venice Area Beautification, Inc., for taking good care of our Chamber landscaping! 9 volunteers spent a total of 40 hours trimming, weeding, delittering, spreading 80 bags of mulch, sweeping, and hauling away 5 pick-up truck loads of debris and litter. Here's another stat: average age of group 70! Great job! Thank you from all of our Chamber Members & Board!
