Muhlenberg Summer Festival

Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg’s 45th annual Muhlenberg Summer Festival runs today through Saturday at the Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem, campus. The festival is a fund-raiser that has brought in more than $2.1 million since it started, a news release says.

Last year’s event raised $70,000 that was used to buy several pieces of equipment, such as two new trauma stretchers, six patient transport chairs and “code blue” carts to treat patients in cardiac arrest.

The four-day festival kicks off at 5 tonight (Wednesday 8/16) and features kids’ activities, rides, entertainment, food and arts and crafts exhibitors. Hours are 5 to 10:30 p.m. through Friday and noon to 10:30 p.m. Saturday. Get directions here.

Book Description
Kiss Off Corporate America: A Young Professional's Guide to Independence is your road map to creative self-employment, providing tangible resources, inspiration and support for creating your own entrepreneurial lifestyle. Kiss Off Corporate America is the first book to address these changing career needs of the post-boomer generation, proving tangible resources, motivation and support to explore alternatives to the 9 to 5, mainstream work force.

Case study interviews support the tangible "how-to's" with qualitative, motivating examples of the struggles and successes of others searching for a life outside the corporate track.
