12th Annual Venice Garden and Home Tour
Saturday May 6, 2006 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
This annual event is a self-guided walking tour of Venice homes and gardens. Since the Tour was launched twelve years ago, Venice has become one of the hottest residential, recreational and entertainment areas in Los Angeles. The Tour offers a rare opportunity to see up close what all the buzz is about. It's a tour like no other - a giant one-day neighborhood open house, showcasing approximately thirty exceptional, sometimes iconoclastic gardens.
Venice has always been a Petri dish for lifestyle experiments; it's where some of the most innovative architects and landscapers in the country live and work. In this foray into old and new Venice, the Tour will wander through the charming neighborhoods near Abbot Kinney Boulevard, visit gardens and peek into homes that range from witty and playful, to sensuously lush and exotic, to sleek and sculptural.
As this year marks the 12th annual Garden Tour, it is especially significant because it is also the 100th Anniversary of the Neighborhood Youth Association, an historic milestone for the organization and cause for celebration. Founded by local landscape wizard Jay Griffith, activist Linda Lucks and businesswoman Jan Brilliot, the Tour provides support for NYA's Las Doradas Children's Center. The Center offers at-risk children in Venice the care and guidance they need to become productive, fulfilled members of the community.
Start Location: Las Doradas Children's Center804 Broadway, Venice, CA 90291
(corner of Broadway & Pleasantview, 1 block west of Lincoln Blvd)
When: Saturday, May 6, 2006, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Parking: Free on-street parking is available, or pay $3 to park at Broadway Elementary School, entrance on Broadway between Lincoln and Pleasantview (all proceeds will benefit the school)
from 12pm to 3:30 catch me and my friends jamming at 607 1/2 San Juan.

From Robert Greenwald: Dear activists, colleagues, and friends:
A big thank you to everyone who has donated to "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers." To see the credit list on the website grow longer and longer, the 2000 names, the soldiers honored, it's all just incredibly inspiring. Without all of you this film would not be possible. Thank you!!
We're about $80,000 short of our $300,000 goal and time is running out. It's critical that filming start next week so we can begin editing in June and have the film ready before the mid-term elections. We can definitely get there... with your help.
Please give $50 to make this film a reality. We'll put your name (or that of a loved one) up on the big screen, to forever stand as a testament to the thousands of people coming together to expose the war profiteers.
If you missed Jim's earlier note with the specifics on what we're doing, you can find it here:
http://iraqforsale.org/why_donate.php
All of us at Brave New Films and everyone working on IRAQ FOR SALE, including dozens of volunteer field producers, are poised to give this our all.
With grateful appreciation,
Robert Greenwald
P.S. Thank you for the tips. They are invaluable, so please keep them coming to tips@iraqforsale.org.
