Hello Summer | Remembering Our Nation's Heroes

Welcome summer!

For all my fellow summer lovers, this is one of the best times of the year, right?  The unofficial beginning of summer with a long weekend! 

As many more businesses and venues open back up for events, it's exciting to see several churches are bringing back the great summer tradition of Vacation Bible Schools this summer!  To hopefully help make your summer planning a little easier, I have compiled a guide VBSs in the area.  If I have missed any, please email me at mackidpasadenamd@macaronikid.com, and I will add them to the list right away!   Also, some churches have not finalized plans, so, please keep checking the website for updates.  Here's a link to the guide.   

Congratulations goes to Beth Thierer, winner of our summer giveaway!  Thank you to all who entered--there was a great response.  We're already working on something fun for the end of the summer, so watch out for that contest in a couple months.  A big shout to goes Chelsea Murphy of Douglas Realty, your go-to real estate agent in Anne Arundel County, for sponsoring the giveaway.  Enjoy your beach bag filled with summer goodies, Beth!

Lastly, to mark the significance of this Memorial Day weekend, I hope you'll take a moment from your family fun to reflect on our country's service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and freedoms.  One special member of my family who my family and I remember is my uncle, Russel Voris, who died in combat in the Vietnam War.  He was only 23 years old.

Have a wonderful, long weekend!

All my best,

Laura
