Conejo365 | Fall 2014 www.conejo365.com | 3 Connecting with the Conejo
We see Conejo365 as a true community magazine; a joint effort of our loyal readers and our supportive advertisers who make the publication possible. Thank you all for your encouragement and input in helping us make the magazine better and better with each subsequent issue.
The response from our premier issue was tremendously positive, but we’re just getting started. This second issue of Conejo365 is a reflection of the many good comments and ideas we received from our community of 60,000-plus readers and advertising partners. We’ve mixed in some of our own creativity, as well, in developing the beginning of what promises to be a truly collaborative effort in which so many can benefit.
Starting with this issue of the magazine, you will notice we’re getting more interactive. We are adding some contests and encouraging more reader input to entertain and inform. We are also featuring a wider variety of activities.
All of the events and entertainment we run in the magazine are now also being posted on our website at www.conejo365.com. And we’re keeping our social media up to date on our Facebook page, so, if you “like” us, you can be kept current on Conejo happenings.
We’re off and running thanks to your support, but we’ll always be looking for your feedback to make the publication more useful and help our friends and neighbors better connect with the communities in which they live and which offer so much to them.
A special thanks to our advertisers. We look to them as our partners to help promote the very best of our extraordinary home and continue to build the Conejo as such a wonderful place to live, work, and play. Importantly, our sponsors also allow us to offer all of this at no cost to our readers. Keep those cards, letters, e-mails and Facebook messages coming.
Sincerely,
Mike Corridori, Editor
