There are still more than two weeks left in December, and we haven't even celebrated the holidays yet. But Dana and I are already thinking about the new year, and we've got big plans for Macaroni Kid!
We are excited to announce that our NEW Preschool & Childcare Directory will be officially launching in early January! If you are a school or childcare center and you wish to participate in the directory, please CLICK HERE for more information.
We also have a new, handy-dandy, submit an event button, just to the left of this article (if you are viewing from our website). Do you have an event or activity you would like us to consider publishing, please send it our way via this easy process. We are always happy to hear of kid-friendly events in our area, so we can share them with our subscribers!
And speaking of subscribers, we would love your help in reaching our goal of 2012 subscribers by 2012! We are so close!!! How can you help? Forward our weekly newsletter to your friends and family. Ask friends if they have heard of Macaroni Kid. And tell everyone to subscribe! We appreciate each and every one of you, and thank you for your support in reaching our goal.
We thanked some of our subscribers this past week, as we continued to channel our inner-Oprah and Ellen! Macaroni Kid Snoqualmie Valley-Issaquah made winners out of 8 local moms. Congrats to: Jasmine, Caryn, Jodie, Kripa, Trisha, Laura, Camille and Tara!!!
