Time Capsule 2002 and 2003

Time Capsule 2002:

When I recall 2002, I remember my quest to establish a creative atmosphere in our production offices. I looked at all the supplies, shelves and work spaces and thought, “I can do better than this!” I decided to display our beautiful magazine covers in frames on the wall. Soon, I ran out of space to showcase all the issues!

Time Capsule

Year 2000 and 2001:

January 2000
We were asked by so many of our readers to create a calendar of our breathtaking photographs reflecting the beauty and nature of the Venice Area - so we did!
We produced a limited edition calendar that became a collector’s item because of its stunning imagery. The calendar was for sale at many retail outlets such as: Caddy Carts, Island Gift Nook, North Jetty Fish Camp & Sunset Grill Gift Shop.

Highlights from 1999

We had our first full production and promotional meeting at the Honoluana Tiki Bar in Nokomis.Our writers, photographers, creative staff and a few of our advertisers that were to be featured in an upcoming issue all attended.

Our magazine was being delivered to 60 locations.
~ Today, we have hundreds of Key Sites. ~

A Year of Celebration

Venice Gulf Coast Living Magazine will be celebrating every month of 2012 in anticipation of our 15th anniversary on January 2013.

In each issue's Time Capsule, we will present a bit of our history, adventures and experiences.

The first 24-page issue of Venice Gulf Coast Living Magazine was published in January 1998 with only 10 advertisers, nine of which were restaurants! Included were Crow’s Nest, Landmark, Paulo’s, and Pop’s Sunset Grill, which has advertised with Venice Gulf Coast Living Magazine in every issue since 1998. Inn at Beach Resort, also part of the premiere issue, has continued to advertise since the inception of the magazine.
