By Jeanette Dempsey, Editor/Publisher March 29, 2015
Thank you for subscribing to Macaroni Kid Columbia!  I hope you find this newsletter and website to be informative and full of fun things for you to do with your family in Columbia and surrounding areas! Below are some tips to help you navigate the Macaroni Kid Columbia website:

  • The newsletter comes out once a week on Sundays and its completely FREE. I like to publish on Sundays so that you can plan your week accordingly.
  • You can check out all of our previous newsletters by clicking "Columbia Archives" on the left hand side of the newsletter.
  • We won't spam you and we have a privacy policy in place so we will NOT sell your email address.
  • There is a great feature called "My Macaroni." If you're scrolling through our list of events and see something you like hit the "Add to My Macaroni" button. Then in the top left of the newsletter there is a "My Macaroni" button. Here you will find the customized list you created and can now print out!
  • There are several sections of the newsletter. "This Week's Picks" are events that I've highlighted as some of my favorite this week. "This Week's Calendar" lists all of the events going on over the next week. "Teen Scene" lists events for our teen crowd. "Plan Ahead" has events that you need to register in advance for or are big enough that you may want to plan for in advance!
  • Towards the bottom of the newsletter we have recurring articles such as "Story Time" and "Farmer's Market". They are filled with even more activities, so be sure to read them.
  • We have a Facebook page, Click here and like us! I use this to post important information, anything that comes up after the newsletter is published for that week or just to say hi to our readers!
  • We also have a Twitter page...click here to follow us!
  • If you know of a family-friendly event in the local area that I have not included on the calendar please submit it here and I will add it to the calendar and share it with our Macaroni Moms, Dads, Grandparents and Caregivers. In addition to the event listings, we have great articles, contests/giveaways, crafts, recipes and so much more in the newsletter.
  • As you find more and more to do in Columbia I hope you will help me get the word out. Pass your newsletter on to friends and family. Encourage them to subscribe.  Hit the "Forward to a Friend" button and SPREAD the Macaroni Love!
