Dive into the heart of community support with Kerri Beattie and the Pinon Project's array of programs designed to uplift families and individuals. From early childhood education to a newly opened day center for those experiencing homelessness, there's an initiative for everyone. Plus, mark your calendars for Pumpkin Fest on October 26 at Montezuma Park! Enjoy a day packed with a 5K fun run, costume contest, and the much anticipated Trick-or-Treat route in Downtown Cortez.

LP recently moved to Mancos from Austin, Texas, where they worked as a Case Manager for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and in HOA property management where they were fortunate to learn many different styles of communication and creative thinking/problem solving. In their time away from work, they watch a ton of movies (spanning all decades, nationalities, and genres), and tries to listen to one really good album every day.
