Businesses in San Fernando Valley to Throw Fundraiser for NO on Measure B

The owners of Reseda Flowers and banquet hall Venetian Palace, and other businesses located in the San Fernando have graciously volunteered to throw a fundraiser benefiting the NO on Measure B campaign.

The event is scheduled for 5-9pm on Thursday, Nov 1, at the Venetian Palace, located at 6740 Corbin Ave., Reseda, CA, 91335. There will be food and non-alcoholic beverages served, as well as entertainment provided by a psychic reader and a DJ. The fundraiser welcomes adult industry members and the public; donations will be taken at the event. FSC’s Duke and Vivid Entertainment’s Marci Hirsch will attend, and other adult industry members are encouraged to attend.

“Carmen [owner of Reseda Flowers] and the owners of Venetian Palace reached out to us and they want to do this fundraiser for the NO on Measure B campaign,” FSC CEO Diane Duke said. “It’s proof that the people of the San Fernando Valley do support the adult industry and see us as an important part of the community. Also, the event organizers say that they don’t like Measure B or intrusion by government into people’s personal choices, when it comes to sexuality and adult entertainment.

“Once voters understand that the adult industry has a successful testing program, people can see that Measure B is unnecessary,” Duke added. “L.A. County has real issues to deal with, like the economy and creating jobs. Local officials should be focused on providing services and resources for small, local businesses that need them, among many other issues.”

FSC also would like to remind industry members to be good neighbors and support local businesses like Reseda Flowers and the Venetian Palace. By supporting our local communities, we give back to friends and fans of the adult industry. Save the date – Thursday night will be a lot of fun!
