VNMS End of Year Message

​Dear VNMS Community,

​Thank you for all your kindness and cheer this past challenging year! We couldn’t do it without you. And our businesses won’t make it without VNMS’ financial, technical, and promotional support. As you mentally and physically put an end to 2020, placing it in the file folder marked, “Never Open Again”, we hope you will open your hearts to our neighborhood one last time with an end of year donation. And don’t forget any matching gifts that are possible from your employers. 

​Here at Van Ness Main Street, we close this year, thinking of our businesses and all we have done with your help. And our businesses really appreciate all of our support: 

​“VNMS’ technical assistance has been invaluable to me and my restaurant. I was able to send my first newsletter to my customers announcing my Thanksgiving special. The response was overwhelming with more than 80 orders – made our month. Thank you, thank you VNMS.”
— Fred Darricarerre, owner and chef, Rosemary Bistro Café

“VNMS’ unwavering determination to make our streatery happen was really uplifting and morale-boosting. VNMS led the way with DDOT letting us continue to run our business and apply for the Resiliency Grant – which we were so relieved to receive! The expansion of VNMS to include our businesses near Nebraska Avenue could not have come at a better time.”
— Carolyn and Massimo Papetti, owners, I’m Eddie Cano
