Keynote Speakers:

Creating Jobs for Neighborhood Youth
Abbot Kinney Boulevard business owners 
Richard & Thomas Schiffer of Abbot's Pizza

Richard and Thomas Schiffer employee youth in 
Venice not only to prepare and serve up 
delicious pizza, but see it as a way to 
help teach basic job skills and 
respect for one another. 

Originally from New York, the Schiffer brothers 
will celebrate their 10th year in business on 
Abbot Kinney Boulevard this year. They believe 
in taking care of the neighborhood and in turn, 
the neighborhood takes care of them. 

In addition, the Town Hall will include presentations 
and volunteer opportunities by Venice youth
organizations.

Join us at GRVNC's second community forum this year to

learn what is happening in Venice. Help us work

difference.
