About The Publisher: Meonka Henning

Hi! I’m Meonka Henning, a proud Charlotte native, mom of two, and your local Macaroni KID publisher for the Lake Norman area. As a mom raising my family in the place I’ve always called home, I’m passionate about helping local families discover the best events, activities, businesses, and hidden gems around our community.

Cornelius Macaroni KID is a free weekly newsletter and website dedicated to sharing the very best family-friendly events and resources around Lake Norman and the greater Charlotte area. From Cornelius, Davidson, and Huntersville to fun day trips nearby, we feature the best local shopping, eats, events, camps, activities, seasonal fun, and small businesses that make this community so special.

My goal is to help families make memories, stay connected, and enjoy everything our area has to offer — all while supporting amazing local businesses along the way.

Are you a local business owner looking to connect with thousands of local parents each week? I’d love to chat!
