Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a fabulous week. Last week we changed our newsletter to 7 AM instead of 5 AM. With this change we have received a lot of feedback requesting we keep the newsletter at 5 AM. So we will be changing it back to 5 AM to honor your wishes. Thank you for your responses. We hope everyone is able to stay warm and safe with these cold bitter winds blowing.
Next week we will share another Jurassic Quest article, be sure to open it, because two families have a chance to win a 4 pack of tickets.
We are receiving numerous new camps per week and each one can be found in our 2024 Directory https://nrv.macaronikid.com/directory or on our 2024 Guide. If you are interested in learning more information about our summer camps & programs sponsorship packages you may email us at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com.
