A Note From Your Publisher

March 30, 2023

Hello! There have been a lot of new subscribers lately, so I thought it was time to re-introduce myself. Here are a few random facts about me:

  1. I've been the Macaroni KID Chestermere publisher since 2015. 
  2. I’m a mom to two kids and have been married for 18 years.  
  3. I was born and raised in the Chestermere area. My kids are 4th generation "Chestermerians". 
  4. Robins are my favourite bird and I live for that first day in spring when they start to sing.
  5. I'm a cat person, there's nothing better than those little toe beans.
  6. I love Chestermere's history. I highly recommend the book "Chestermere: A Home for All Seasons". It's available at the library. 
  7. On a Myers-Briggs personality test, I am an INFJ, an introvert through and through. If you see me in public, and I don't say hi, it's not you, it's me.
  8. I organize a few other events in Chestermere, other than Macaroni KID-related ones
  9. I'll take Coke over Pepsi any day of the week. 
  10. I LOVE the mint M&Ms that come out at Christmas. I horde them, and have been known to try and buy out local stores.
  11. Dementia awareness has a special place in my heart. I lost my mom to early-onset dementia and both of my grandmothers had dementia. 
  12. Blue skies and yellow canola fields make my heart sing. I also love the smell of canola. 
  13. I love to shop locally whenever possible and I love helping local businesses reach local families. 
  14. My mission with Macaroni KID is to bring local fun, businesses, and events to you and your family.

If you are a new subscriber, welcome! And to those of you who have been around for a while, thank you for sticking around. I appreciate your support.
