It’s been about a week since I became the new Publisher of the Acadia-St. Landry edition of Macaroni Kid. I want you to know a little about me so you know you can come to me with any activities big or small and I will be happy to add them or make a post. I appreciate all suggestions. These are your parishes so l want to make the newsletter, website, and page something you will use and enjoy. I am a New Orleans native but have lived in Lafayette a while. I’m married to an amazing man from Opelousas and have 3 kids. I am also the assistant to the Lafayette publishing. It is still in the beginning stages, but it will get amazing fast!! I hope you love what I will be putting out to you. Liz

As I was looking for a job one day, I stumbled upon another Macaroni Kid Publisher looking for an Assistant. At that time, I did not realize what a large impact she would have on me. Not only were our personal lives eerily similar, but so was our passion to succeed. Jennifer Ercoli, Publisher for Macaroni Kid Lafayette, has been not only an amazing mentor, but also a great friend. Never would I have learned this much, in a year an a half, from another person. As much as I love working for only the Lafayette publishing, I needed to spread my wings and take on my own territory (I will still work in Lafayette also). Since I have taken over Macaroni Kid Acadia- St Landry, I have met amazing people who have greatly helped me, and are excited to see what we can to with these areas. I look forward to participating and planning family days, having things for children to do, and events to bring families closer. Also, through the newletter, website (acadia.macaronikid.com), and page, parents will be informed of events that are in their own area. I look forward to bringing more family fun to Acadia and St. Landry! I am excited to expand this journey further, meet more locals, and start planning activities once school starts and it cools down.
