We're so glad you're part of the Macaroni Kid family! To make your experience more rewarding, below is a tour to make the most of your MacKid newsletter and website.
The MacKid newsletter will arrive in your Inbox every Wednesday.
CENTER COLUMN
ARTICLES - Articles will focus on recipes, crafts, health, money saving tips and much more.
EVENTS (Our Specialty) - Here you will find "This Week's Picks" and "This Week's Calendar". Events are listed after the main articles in order by date. Each listing will have links to detailed information. Please note the disclaimer that we're not responsible for event changes, although I really try to stay on top of things!
TOP BAR
CALENDAR - Although there is a list of current and upcoming events listed in the main part of the newsletter/website, this doesn't include every activity, so check the CALENDAR (click on the blue CALENDAR tab at the top of the page) to see the entire month of activities and events. We encourage you to check the calendar often because we add new activities and events as we hear about them! When you find an activity of interest, you can add it to 'My Macaroni'. (See below).
BIZ DIRCTORY - This is an ever-growing directory and is the place to look when you want to find a business that provides a particular service. The Business Directory has two types of listings: Basic & Featured. The basic listing includes every provider we could find in a particular category (i.e., art, baseball, mom's clubs, etc.). The featured listings are MacKid sponsors and keep this site FREE to our subscribers. Featured listings appear at the top of each category and include additional information. Be sure to tell them you found them at MacKid!
PUBLISHER MOM TAB - Do you live in another town/city that doesn't have MacKid? Interested in a really fun wobby (work/hobby)? Click this tab to learn more about becoming a MacKid Publisher.
LEFT SIDE COLUMN
MY MACARONI - After each event/activity listed there is a + sign next to "Add to My Macaroni". Click the + sign for each event that looks interesting, and a list of your favorites will be compiled for you to refer back to at another time (by clicking on the large pink "My Macaroni" button above the Table of Contents), or you can print it out and hang it on your refrigerator so you can be sure to include these activities into your week.
SUBMIT AN EVENT - Did you hear about an event not included at MacKid? Share it with everyone by submitting it here. Most fields are required. If you don't know the information for a particular field, just so say in the field and I'll do my best to find it.
WEEKLY LIST - A weekly table of contents is provided to make navigation easier.
KIDS EAT FREE - located on the left sidebar in the 'Weekly Table of Contents' and in the center column, these Kids Eat Free sections appear each week and are updated only if we add new listings. Know of a restaurant we forgot? Let us know so we can share it with everyone.
