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!

Olsen Rd., Thousand Oak Although counted as a comedy because of its plot twists and ending, “Measure for Measure“ presents a bleak world of manipulation and danger. In a wise ruler’s absence, moral extremists hold authority in Vienna and are left with life-and-death decisions; sinful transgressions lead to death or a life of shame; and mercy, justice and equity are talked about but rarely seen. Michael J. Arndt will direct. Play begins at 8:00 p.m. www.kingsmenshakespeare.org | (805) 493-3014 26 | www.conejo365.com www.crpd.org/run | (805) 381-2739 Sunday, June 28th 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Topanga Vintage Market Pierce College, Victory Blvd. at Mason Ave., Woodland Hills Over 170 great vendors of all manner of antiques and vintage goods, from furniture and home accessories to fashion, memorabilia and jewelry, plus a select group of two dozen artists and artisans.
