Latest News from MK Appleton-Stevens Point

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

How's your week going? I have lots of fun things to tell you about today!

First, there are two ads now running on the website for two great vendor events that are coming up in March. One is on March 17 in Menasha and the other on March 24 in Appleton. You can shop your favorite companies in one place. Click the ads to see the Facebook events (the Mar 24 ad is not linked yet, but will be soon!)

This week we have Organizational Tip #7, information on fighting childhood obesity, and Friday is Dr. Seuss' Birthday, so we have some fun facts and activities for you and there's information on the latest referral sweepstakes, where I'm offering FREE design services (business or personal) for two lucky winners! The craft project is for birdseed biscuits (the birds could use the help now!) and the recipe is for a simple, yet VERY versatile crock pot dish. In fact, we just had the same thing for dinner, but converted to soup!

If you know of any events I missed, let me know about them by using the submit an event form. I'm looking for low-cost, one-time, family-friendly events with activities for kids. For those with classes and regularly-recurring activities, please email me (lauram@macaronikid.com) about putting together a custom advertising package based on your business needs.

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. So big thanks to the sponsors AND the readers! You will find information on the sponsors in the ads on the site, as well as in the "Biz Directory" (link at the top of the page).

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 especially LOVE the "My Macaroni" feature. Go ahead and play around with that-- it's great!

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