Latest News From South St. Louis

Sept 5-12, 2013

Hi MacMoms & MacDads

Wow this last week have flow by. I am sure it is because we are leaving for vacation and time knows that I have lots to still do.  Can you believe what we consider fall is right around teh corner? I am so ready for some crisp air, pumpkin treats, and beautiful colored mums. 

Don't forget this weekend is the Here We Grow Again Consignment Sale. It is taking place Sept 5-8 at the Holiday Inn on South Lindbergh and Waston Rd. 

I would like to open the invite for any school group that would like to share their events with all the Mac Subscribers to place email me as I would love to share your events and help show support. 

If you live in Jefferson County, please help me out by submitting events that you see and think our readers would like to know about. I have two helpers in the area but it is still a larger area so having 6 eyes research events will still cause us to miss some things. And honestly I can't spend all my time researching events because my kids and house would be neglected. So I thank you for any help you are able to give us. 

Here's a sample of what's in the newsletter this week:
You can read about the events this week by scrolling down to "This Week's Calendar" or you can click into the calendar right here on the calendar image below, or by using the link at the top of the page:
If you're planning an event or know of one I missed, please use the Submit an Event button and tell me about it! I do my best to find as many great family events as I can, but I'm just one mom working in our home office, while entertaining a preschooler, so I really appreciate all of you who help me out!

I'd like to remind you to please support our sponsors who make this site possible. Without them, I would not be able to keep doing this week after week-- this newsletter is solely supported by the sponsors, so big thanks to them AND all of you readers! You will find information about the sponsors in the ads on the site, and there are even more businesses listed in the "Biz Directory". The Biz Directory is kind of like the yellow pages for Macaroni Kid readers, but with direct links to the sponsors' websites. If you'd like to see your business info in there, email me for details - cassiew@macaronikid.com.

Finally, if you're new here (or haven't read it yet), check out the article on Making the Most of Your Macaroni. There are some helpful tips in there for making this site work for you. I have always loved the "My Macaroni" feature and now we have a Google Calendar option too! Go ahead and play around with either of those-- they're so handy!

And that's the newsletter this week-- have a great fun-filled week!
