Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! First I'd like to apologize for not sending the Newsletter last week. Our Tech Team was working on our back office to update our website and we were unable to access our system until they were finished at 1 AM. That's normally fine and dandy as I work all night on Wednesday from 7 PM - 5 AM but last week I apparently touched something I shouldn't have and caused a bad rash with swelling on my hands. Benadryl doesn't normally make me sleepy so, I took one to see if I could get the reaction to go away. It didn't help but it did put me in la-la land. Thank you for understanding. When a dr tells you that your hands have come into contact with something you will rack your brain trying to figure out what that something was. I still haven't figured it out yet.
As hard as it is to believe, we have started gathering Summer Camp & Programs for 2024. If you are interested in learning more information about our sponsorship packages you may email me at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com to obtain our 2024 form. We will release the guide this weekend and include it in our weekly newsletters so check back soon!
Have a wonderful week and thank you for being loyal subscribers & sponsors.
