HAPPY 4th OF JULY!
Welcome to the July 2000 edition of the Roundabout, our family newsletter. We are still offering you freebies, research information, shopping, music to listen to or download* family news to catch up on, fun things to do with the family, food links to great recipe sites, and much more! As usual, we are on the lookout for anything fun, informative and original.
To navigate the rest of The Roundabout you may either click on any of the buttons on the left and you will be transported to that page, or scroll down the page and investigate for yourself. If you leave the Roundabout page click on your "back" button to return here.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger. 75% are children.
Every time you click on the button you donate food. There is no charge to you for the donation.
This is our new Family Fun Page. I've included a few things that may be of interest, such as a free recipe generator. Normally I review many of the new internet sites as they are announced and if it's family oriented and fun, I like to pass it on. In the past we've offered you numerous freebie sites (and they are still available at the online archives. To go there, simply click on the Home button and select the month you are interested in.)
A recipe-generator! A new recipe every day!

If you're a kid or just feel like one, make sure you visit the fun and educational "spaceKids" part of the site.
