Thank you for subscribing to Macaroni Kid Naperville. I hope you find this newsletter and website to be informative and full of fun things for you to do with your family!
1. The calendar feature will allow you to see the whole month at a glance.
2. If you would like to look back at previous issues, go to the top of the page on the right side and click on the "Macaroni Kid Naperville Archives" button. You will go to a list of dates and you can choose which newsletter you are interested in viewing.
3. If you ever need to change your email address, you can hit reply on any newsletter and send me your new email address and I can change it for you. Also, if you're getting too many National emails, let me know and I can unsubscribe you from the ones you do not wish to receive.
4. Business Directory: This is the Yellow Pages for Families, all your needs met right here and some even offer specials for being a Macaroni Kid! You can find it right here under "biz"directory".
5. There are several national newsletters available (Family Travel, National Newsletter, Macaroni Kid Eats, Military Families, Safety Announcements, Family Fitness etc.) and you can change your subscription preferences any time by re-entering your information in the subscribe form, as long as you use the same email address as the original subscription. (If you need to change the newsletter subscriptions AND email address, you can reply to the newsletter for all.) If I entered your information, you are only subscribed to the local newsletter. I am also happy to help if you need it!
6. The "My Macaroni" button that appears above the articles is my favorite feature! You can click the button (My Macaroni) under any event listing and after you've selected all of the events that you are interested in, you can click the "My Macaroni" button and it will show your list, then you can download everything to a pdf that you can save and/or print to take with you!! Then you'll have all the details right at hand when you're on the road!
7. Support our sponsors. Sponsors make it possible for me to offer this free service to you. Each local ad is approved and added to the page by me, so I can assure you that they are safe to click through. Likewise, all national ads are approved by the home office. Of course any transactions between you and the advertiser are the responsibility of the two parties involved and not myself or Macaroni Kid.
8. Comment on things you like or send me an email by replying to the newsletter so I know what kinds of things you like to read about! If you have any suggestions for articles, let me know!
