Laura and MinnieGreetings!

How is your Spring Break going this week? Remember to email us your favorite vacation or break pictures and be entered to win a prize.  Plus, we'll post them!
 
You responded in overwhelming numbers last issue to  our 2012 Summer Camp Directory.  We have made many new additions so please check back.  Registration is coming right up for many! 

March for Babies on April 21st is a wonderful event to do with your family and friends out at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.  There's still time to sign up a team and raise $$ for the March of Dimes.

Also, if your neighborhood is hosting a garage sale this spring or summer, please email us the dates.  It's that time of year, and our free posting of all the neighborhood sales is a popular item with readers who love to shop till they drop for deals!

Enjoy your Easter break,
