Our readership continues to increase, while the event submissions for the magazine are exploding. This kind of acceptance is very gratifying and we fully expect to keep building on our early successes with help from our readers and our advertisers. In fact, the magazine would not even exist without our advertisers. Through their participation, we are able to offer Conejo365 to everyone in our area at no cost to them. Our advertisers have truly invested in our community by supporting this publication, so, I encourage all of our readers to use our partners’ services and attend their events. Speaking of events, the Conejo Valley offers an amazing variety of activities from which to choose any time of year. In one convenient place, we feature as many of these as we can in every issue of Conejo365. If you don’t find what interests you between our pages, let us know and we’ll make every effort to add it. We’re so fortunate to live in the Conejo Valley. It just doesn’t get much better than this, especially, in the late winter and early spring when we might get some rain to green things up like we did this year. In this issue of Conejo365, we tried to capture a bit of the beauty that those precious drops of moisture help create. Enjoy this issue of Conejo365 and please keep the event listings coming!
