A LOOK AHEAD

Thanks to the LOR Foundation we have grown our community calendar reach to thousands over the past year.

TheDailyZU.com website and social media continues to flourish with over 50,000 impressions a month (you read that right).

In the new year we will be expanding our services with The Daily ZU and offering Montezuma County web (hosting, websites, maintenance) and marketing services (social media, strategy, training) with the expertise of Jodi Jahrling and Scott Farris.

We are shifting our photography studio plans and creating more opportunities for affordable, fun photos for all. We will begin offering monthly themes and specials, while focusing more on studio photography and equipment upgrades so we can offer more options for less cost.

We will continue to experiment with new offerings, new layouts, new classes, and new ideas and always try to honor and celebrate our local artists, authors and musicians in the process.

Your help in supporting our need to constantly change and improve keeps us motivated.

Here's to an amazing new year in the ZU!
