Venice Paparazzi was on the scene at the Venice Chamber’s 2016 Board Installations
.
LAPD Pacific Division Captain Nicole Alberca performed the honors of swearing in the 2016-17 Venice Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors on July 27, 2016. The event was hosted by the Rose Cafe-Restaurant in Venice. Rosé and House Beer was served alongside delicious bites of avocado toast and zucchini pizza on the patio of the beautiful boho-chic restaurant.
.
Over 40 members of the chamber and members of the community mixed and mingled while enjoying the annual Board Installation. VCC President George Francisco presented immediate past President, Carl Lambert, and past Secretary, Jill Prestup, with certificates of commendation from L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl.
.
Before swearing in the new Board of Directors, Captain Alberca said, “We can all agree that we can’t get anywhere without each other. So I think it’s very appropriate to have law enforcement shoulder to shoulder with our community because I’m very adamant that in two years, we would’ve never made the success we made without my community as my partners. It’s not just about the partnerships, it’s about the depth of the relationships that we’re going to build.” Celebratory hugs and congratulations were shared after officers were sworn in. It was a night enjoyed by everyone.
