Welcome to Asheville Macaroni Kid!  Here's some information to help you get the most from our site!
 
Manage Your Subscriptions

With your free subscription to Asheville Macaroni Kid you will receive a weekly email with all the family-friendly events and activities happening in our community from me, the publisher of Asheville Macaroni Kid.  The email will be sent from sandym@macaronikid.com (to ensure you receive our newsletter please add this address to your address book).  
 
1.  When you subscribe to Asheville Macaroni Kid you also have the option to subscribe to other national newsletters including Macaroni National Newsletter, Family Travel Newsletter, Family Safety Newsletter and our Survey Newsletter, to name a few. If you opted to receive the national newsletters from Macaroni Kid headquarters, you will receive these monthly and they will come to you via our national publishers.  If you decide to continue receiving any or all of the national newsletters, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If at any time you choose to change your subscription preferences, please email me and I can add or remove you from any of the newsletter lists.  I can also update your email address on any of the newsletter lists.
  
2.   So have you noticed the little plus sign after each event along with its "Add to My Macaroni" tagline?  Have you tried it yet?  It's a great feature!  When you see events that you are thinking about heading out to, click on that plus sign.  Then click on the Pink banner that says "My Macaroni" towards the top left of the website and ta-da!!...a customized calendar that you can print out, stick on your fridge, carry with you, or even email as a PDF.  Super convenient for the moms and dads on the go!

3.  Have an event that you would like for us to include on our calendar?  Click here to submit your information.  I will be back in touch with you.

4.  Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the newsletter where you can often find craft ideas, recipes and other great articles!  Due to a large number of events in one week, the newsletter may be 'clipped' short in your emailed newsletter.  Click through to the website to see more great events and the remainder of your newsletter content!

5. 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.

6. 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!

7.  Share Macaroni Kid with your friends. What parent isn't looking for ideas to keep the kids busy? Don't keep this to yourself!

Questions, comments, just want to say hello or have a fun idea you would like to share?
Contact me, Sandy Miller by email.

I really hope you enjoy your Macaroni and that it becomes your go-to resource for family fun in our community.   I know how hard and time-consuming it can be to find things to do as a family.  So let me do the work for you.  Sign up for our weekly e-newsletter and get the scoop on upcoming events right to your inbox. 

A special thank you to Laura Miller and Angela McConville, publisher moms, for this article.
