Kidwinks.com eNewsletter 8/30/2009

We had a marshmallow roast in our backyard last night, and my daughter wore her winter boots to keep her feet warm. Earth to Mother Nature: "It's August! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???"
Listen, we'd like to ask your help. Many of you have emailed us about all the fun new things and great restaurants you've found using kidwinks. Thank you for that - we love to know we're helping our fellow busy parents (and even grandparents!). So WE know how helpful the website is; and YOU know how helpful it is. It's time our listings businesses knew it too. Would you mind telling the manager the next time you visit a business or event after finding it on kidwinks? Honestly, they like to know how best to reach customers, and will appreciate your feedback. It will also help us gain advertisers (our only source of income), and hopefully open the door to some new prizes for us to offer you. Thank you in advance!
Since the coming weekend is a long one, I thought I'd just concentrate on the first part of the week in this newsletter, and send a separate one tomorrow covering the Labor Day Weekend. If you don't see something that tickles your fancy here, you can find lots more to choose from by clicking through our Events Calendar or browsing through the Ongoing Activities section. Don't spend more money than you have to when taking the kids out to eat: check our Kids Eat Free Calendar first.
