Venice Community Housing Corporation Hosts Annual Donor Appreciation.  

Private citizens in Venice who have contributed to, and supported, Venice Community Housing's affordable-housing and low-income service programs in the past year were honored at this recent event.

(The following is an excerpt from the March, 2013, monthly Venice Community Housing Newsletter)

On March 7th Venice Community Housing hosted its annual Donor Appreciation event, celebrating those who have supported our organization over the past year.

Venice residents Ron Radziner and Robin Cottle generously hosted the event at their beautiful home, designed by Marmol Radziner for the Radziner-Cottle family.

The evening included presentations by VCH staff members and clients, including tenant Terry Alan Bareir and YouthBuild student Carmen Cotton.

Alan and Carmen's heartfelt words communicated the lasting impact that affordable housing, education and job training have had on their lives, and the hope they now have for the future. We are grateful to them for volunteering to share their stories with our guests.

We would also like to thank chef Ali Haghighi at Monrose Catering for providing a delectable spread of hors de'ouvres and the VCH staff and volunteers who helped the event run smoothly.
