My Macaroni Feature

Sure I find out about all of these great events and share them with you, but this newsletter and website are just as much yours as they are mine.  Go ahead and make it work for you!

So have you noticed the little plus sign after each event along with its "Add to My Macaroni" tagline?  Have you tried it yet?  It's a great feature!  When you see events that you are thinking about heading out to, click on that plus sign.  Then click on "My Macaroni" towards the top left of the website and ta-da!!...a customized calendar that you can print out, stick on your fridge, carry with you,or even email as a PDF.  Super convenient for the moms and dads on the go!
