Pennsylvania recently received the National Green Power Leadership Award for voluntarily doubling its green energy purchases. In an effort to reduce the environmental impacts of its electricity use, Pennsylvania is making the switch to cleaner, healthier energy sources like wind and solar- and it's already paying off. Thanks to its clean energy policies, the state has been selected as the future home of the manufacturing facilities of wind-energy giant Gamesa Corp. The facilities represent an $84 million investment in the state that will create as many as 1,000 jobs.

Why Should I Come to First Thursday?
Maybe the questions should be "Why not?"
First Thursday is a great event to meet new people in an easy and relaxed setting. For the past couple of months, Stooges in Allentown has been our First Thursday host and each month attendance is growing.
Whether you are a long time member of the NET or new to the Lehigh Valley this is a great time and place to come out and see what the NET is all about.
Come alone, bring your friends, introduce someone new to the NET, introduce yourself to someone new. Expand your network...
Connect.
See you next week at Stooges!

5 Things: Holidays in the Lehigh Valley
Maybe you are new to the Lehigh Valley and this is your first holiday season here. Or maybe you have been so busy with holiday parties and all that 'year-end' fun at work that you haven't had a chance to see what the Lehigh Valley has to offer. Take some time out this weekend and see what's going on. Here are a few popular suggestions.
lehigh valley
- Visit Christkindlmarkt in downtown Bethlehem. This is the last weekend, so be sure to stop by for some great food, entertainment and homemade crafts.
- Check out the Lights in the Parkway in Allentown's Lehigh Parkway to get you in the holiday spirit.
- Visit the Toys for Tots Train Display in Allentown and donate a new and unwrapped toy to needy families in the Lehigh Valley
- Don't have plans for New Year's yet? Go to First Night in Bethlehem for music, performances and fireworks!
- Go see the Nutcracker Ballet at the State Theater in Easton this weekend.

5 Things: Our Wish List
Everyone has a wish list for the holidays, so it should come as no shock that the NET has a wish list too. Here are our top 5 things we are wishing for...
So what's on your wish list this year?
lehigh valley
- To increase NET membership (You can join here!)
- To have continued success and high attendance at First Thursday and all other NET events
- To offer an even better variety of events that appeal to more NET members. (Have a suggestion for an event? Let us know what you think.)
- A new laptop computer (preferably one that was made after Y2K) for the officers to house the database and all NET materials.
- To throw the biggest and best anniversary party this side of the Delaware to celebrate 5 years of the NET.
