Come as you are....or someone different

It is a place shrouded in mystery and fog. Unlike any city in the world, its mood responds to the sea. Its beauty and intrigue is cloaked in masks in a surreal setting. Its well know residents go by names like "Il Dottore" or "Zanni" or "Pantalone". Where a common greeting is "Signora Maschere" to many an anonymous lady. Where at one time its inhabitants wore masks six months of the year? Where is it??? It is Venice at Carnevale time. Some believe it is the most beautiful and romantic city in the world. Although we can't transport you to experience the Maschere a Venezia, we can invite you to our Carnevale held on February 17th. This is a heads up to start working on your costumes and masks. Only your imagination will limit your creation.

We have included some photos from the Venice Carnevale for your admiration and enjoyment. Stay tuned for more announcements and schedule for the ICD event. If you possess skills in costume or mask making, your friends may need your assistance.

It is going to be a grand party without the Grand Canal.
