Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a wonderful week. Hopefully your children are enjoying their summer break if they have started. I know Giles is ready to be out of school! We are still in need of an assistant for 5 - 10 hours per week. If you are interested you may email us at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com. I started physical therapy a few weeks ago and at my visit I was explaining to my therapist that I am the Publisher for Macaroni KID NRV. She thanked me and told me that she has our website bookmarked as her homepage. Sometimes in life we are dealing with so many different things that we feel we are letting others down or not rising to our full potential. It is nice to hear that you're still appreciated, so thank you for your kind words. We are working on building the calendar back up daily. If you are still searching for the right summer camps or programs many of our camps listed in our guide still have openings. We will be adding a few more camps this week or weekend.
There is still time to sign up for the Women's Clinic held tomorrow afternoon. Learn more information here https://nrv.macaronikid.com/articles/663d04dbd565c91b08331d4b/virginia-tech-football-announces-youth-camp-and-womens-clinic
Have a wonderful week and thank you for being loyal subscribers & sponsors.
