Note from Publisher | A Winning Mama Bear, A Call for VBS & More

May 9, 2019

To the Macaroni Family:

It seems that Mother Nature has gotten the memo, and warm weather is here to stay in the Piedmont!  With May comes all the graduations, weddings, sports banquets, final projects and end-of-grade testing you can handle (or maybe can't!).  My hope is that in these upcoming weeks, you will also have a little time to spend with your family--to press pause for just a few minutes-- and just BE together, too.  

I have several things I'd like to share with you:

1) Gold Daisy 4 Good Campaign Ends

Please take a moment to read how Gold Daisy Award-winning businesses came together to raise awareness and support for NETworX Catawba.  Congratulations to all winning businesses, and thank you to the many who took part in the nomination and voting process.

2) Vacation Bible School and Upcoming Summer Events

If you are a part of a church or organization that wishes to submit their free or low-cost event on our calendar for the summer including festivals, VBS and other kid-specific events or activities, please use this link to our Calendar Submission Form!  Thank you so much for your cooperation.

3) Taking Care of Mama Bear Mother's Day Giveaway Winner

Mother's Day is approaching, and to all the mothers, grandmothers, fur baby mamas, care takers, and aunties (whether by relation or by BFF status!), I wish you all a wonderful weekend.  I was able to partner with some great, local businesses to treat one winner to a prize-pack for our Taking Care of Mama Bear Giveaway.  

Audrey's husband, Richard, won the prize pack for her.  Way to go, Richard!  And congratulations to Audrey, a special and deserving teacher and mother.

Thank you to AR Workshop Hickory, Boombae's, DoTERRA Wellness Advocate Melinda McCormick and the Hickory Crawdads for their partnership.

Don't forget to like, share and comment on social media to help continue to spread the word about Hickory-W Piedmont Macaroni Kid!  Your support is greatly appreciated.  And, be sure to follow us on Pinterest!

Your guide to finding family fun,
