The public is invited to join Venice City Clerk staff in celebrating Municipal Clerks Week on Monday, May 6, for “Coffee with the Clerk” from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Community Hall at City Hall, 401 W. Venice Ave.

Although it is one of the oldest positions in local government, few people realize the vital services City Clerks provide. Enjoy coffee and cake while learning more about the role of the Clerk’s Office in local government and meet Venice City Clerk Kelly Michaels and her staff.

“The reason we want to do this is because City Hall can be an intimidating place for people to come,” Michaels said. “Just meeting staff from the Clerk’s Office puts a friendly face on that process.”
