FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
The Sopris Sun and Sol del Valle’s core staff met up in Glenwood Springs for a rare team photo on Feb. 5 before visiting the Colorado Mountain News Media printing press in Gypsum for a tour (see page 20). Pictured (left to right): Contributing Editor James Steindler, Digital Editor Ingrid Celeste Zúniga, Sol del Valle Editor Bianca Godina, Lead Editorial Designer Terri Ritchie, Editor-inChief Raleigh Burleigh, Sol del Valle Marketing and Development Manager Margarita Alvarez, Executive Director Todd Chamberlin. Partnership and Engagement Manager Luise Nieslanik and baby Noah had to stay home, so Burleigh snapped their portrait at the Carbondale office. Not pictured: Advertising Designer Emily Blong, Delivery Champ Fred Kischbaum, Youth Journalism Instructor Skyler Stark-Ragsdale, Sol del Valle Layout Artist Diane Amsden, the Perez family Sol del Valle distribution team, our beloved volunteer proofreaders and many talented contributors.
