We passed out over 1,000 copies at our booth during the recent Thousand Oaks Street Fair and many more businesses are giving away copies in their stores and offices. Such enthusiasm!!!
One of the other highlights of this past Fall was the amazing response we received from those participating in our 1st Annual Pub Crawl. We
will definitely do that again soon. In this issue we have another surprise. We are hosting a murder mystery party with one of our awesome advertisers, Oaks Security. It would be criminal for you to miss this one!!! Check inside this issue for more details.
I have lived in the Conejo almost my entire life and thought I knew just about everything there was to do here. Wrong!!!

Each year, Southern California experiences some 10,000 earthquake tremblers, any one of which can cause irreparable damage to your masonry fireplace, which you may not even notice. Eventually, this can lead to your chimney collapsing or dangerous gases escaping into your attic or living spaces. Many homes in our area were built with “precast concrete fireplaces,” which are now particularly hazardous because a vast majority of them have cracked or failed and need to be replaced.
Since 1976, Altmann Construction has been helping its neighbors rebuild or replace damaged fireplaces and chimneys caused by quakes and weather deterioration. We can also add a gas-only fireplace to almost any location in your home.
We’re your FIREPLACE SPECIALISTS and we want you to be safe,
so relax and call us at 818-667-7086 or e-mail [email protected]. Contractor’s State License #369088

“I visited a lot of assisted living communities because my kids didn’t think I should live alone any more — like it is THEIR decision?
Then I visited The Reserve. The entire place had energy and activity. I met three people just waiting for my tour and they were on all on their way somewhere. The food was truly restaurant quality—and I was told by the other residents that it is like that every day!
I realized that I missed being around people like myself. I missed having Bridge partners and water aerobics classes. I decided to move there because I wanted to.
Now my daughter wants to move here... Ha!”
