The histories, the mysteries: Venice Birthday Celebration!!!
Some sources say Venice was founded in 1904.
Others vehemently state 1905 or
1908.
Like its namesake, the exact date
is shrouded in the wetlands of history.

It has been traditional to set
the date on July 4th-and why
not?
Venice has been the womb of
independent thought since its inception. Ask five Venetians their opinions and
you're likely to get seven replies. From HARE KRISHNAS to Harry Kirshner from
world-renowned artists to maintenance workers, Venice has been the Peoples'
Beach.
So we the duly constituted
self-proclaimed Official Centennial July 4th Venice Birthday Celebration
Committee invite all independent spirits, politicos, creative and noncreative
individuals, committees, and organizations who want to initiate and participate
in the festivities to join us in planning the readings, plays, songs, paintings,
histories, and parades.
The committee
has arbitrarily picked the Centennial Celebration to be July 4, 2005. We are
revving up early – this July 4, 2003 sing, dance, etc., even if you can't.
Lack of ability has never inhibited true Venetians from expressing
themselves.
Explore the history, the
mystery of Venice, that special quality that entrances the
residents.
Everyone is invited to
participate to make a great special Venice event. Come as your favorite Venetian
historical figure! Political artistic etc., or your unfavorite historical or
contemporary figure, nearly all points of view welcomed-no sexism, racism,
religion or sexual orientation baiting allowed – be your own float –
organize a pooch posse!
Show 'em what
funk is all about.
Viva Venice! Viva
the history, the mysteries of Venice!
