Thank you for subscribing to Macaroni Kid Chicago-North! I hope you find this newsletter and website to be informative and full of fun things for you to do with your family!
1. EVENTS: Today's events are at the very top of the page. Looking for something on a different day? Scroll down to the events section and pick a day!
2. PAST ARTICLES: If you would like to look back at previous articles, go to the Articles tab at the top of the page. Once you've clicked it, you can scroll through past articles or search using categories or keywords.

4. SPONSORS: Support our sponsors. Sponsors make it possible for me to offer this free service to you. Each local ad is approved and added to the page by me, so I can assure you that they are safe to click through. Likewise, all national ads are approved by the home office. Of course any transactions between you and the advertiser are the responsibility of the two parties involved and not Macaroni Kid.

14. TRAVELING: If you are away on business, vacation or visiting friends in another city, make use of our Macaroni Kid sites throughout the country to see what is going on there! We have over 500! Simply go to www.macaronikid.com and choose the state you will be in and the drop down will show all the choices you have! If there is not one in a city you are planning to visit, let me know, maybe we can find a new publishing mom! I do love my job!
15. NATIONAL NEWSLETTER OPTIONS: There are several national newsletters available (Family Travel, National Newsletter, Macaroni Kid Eats, Military Families, Safety Announcements, Family Fitness, etc.) and you can change your subscription preferences any time by re-entering your information in the subscribe form, as long as you use the same email address as the original subscription. (If you need to change the newsletter subscriptions AND email address, you can reply to the newsletter for all.) If I entered your information, you are only subscribed to the local newsletter. I am also happy to help if you need it!
