“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough” — Oprah Winfrey
Great Lakes Kids’ Directory has many features that make it a valuable resource for parents, teachers, grandparents and childcare professionals - anyone who is involved with children. It is compact in size, making it a handy resource to keep in your purse or car. In addition, it offers valuable coupons for use at kid-friendly businesses and includes a calendar of events so you know what’s going on across the Great Lakes Bay Region each month. You’ll even find a convenient dining guide inside that lists restaurants offering FREE or discounted kids meals. Our goal each month is to help inform our readers of the many opportunities, events, products and services available for families in Great Lakes Bay Region. Please remember to support the businesses that advertise in this publication each month and tell them that you saw their ad in the Great Lakes Kids’ Directory.
