This month is the 2ND ANNIVERSARY of Macaroni Kid : NEPhilly-EMC! Yeah!!
Would you like to know a little more about your Publisher (ME!) and Macaroni Kid National? Take a look at About Us.
♥
Many reoccuring events are NOT listed in the weekly EVENTS SUMMARY, but rather in the ACTIVITY articles in the second half of the newsletter.
Check them frequently for updates & changes!
In addition to being your Macaroni Kid publisher, I am also an Independent Consultant for Usborne Books & More!
If you are looking for great educational books that will really engage your child, consider having a home show and getting your books FREE.
Is your child's school, classroom, band or youth group looking for a fundraiser? I can offer either a book fair or Cards for a Cause to help your group meet its fundraising goals.
For more information, contact me at: UsborneBooksPA
Come see my display of Usborne Books & More on Saturday, October 20th from 9AM to 2PM at the VENDOR FAIR held in the undercroft at All Saints Episcopal Church Rhawnhurst, 1811 Loney Street, (Northeast) Philadelphia, 19111.
There will be lots of vendors offering you the opportunity to see new products, taste samples, book your own show/party/demonstration, or become a consultant. Buy presents now for the holidays!

Have you checked out the Submit An Event button? It is directly under the My Macaroni button at the top left of the newsletter, just below the publishing date.
I want to list as many events, classes, and sports as possible in the area.

Would you like to List Your YARD SALES in Macaroni Kid?I have been thinking about offering a low-cost listing for individual yard sales in my catchment areas. What do you think? Email: jeanneh@macaronikid.com
I offer FREE listings for local church, school, non-profit events, flea markets and farmers' markets.
Events can be put on the CALENDAR months in advance. Please let me know if your organization has an event or you know of events in your area!
Here's a tip to make your fall and winter planning easier: Each weekend, visit our Calendar page. Click on "View More" under the Monday square to bring up all the events for that day. When you see an event that you think your kids will love, click the "Add to My Macaroni" plus sign. Then click Tuesday's link and do the same. Repeat for each day of the week.
When you have made it through the week, click the NEPhilly-EMC Home link at the top of the page and then click on the pink My Macaroni button. This will take you to a new page with just the events you selected (including all the info you'll need) that you can print or download. Voila! Your own personalized Events Calendar.
