- Mack Trucks- Mack Truck Headquarters is located in Allentown, PA.
- Dan's Camera City-
located 1439 W. Fairmont St., in Allentown, this
is a complete photography store. From camera to telescope sales
and services like photo restoration and scanning, (plus photo
developing). There isn't one store that does it all like these guys do!
This past winter, they came to our general meeting and educated us on
digital imaging along with demonstrating some of their digital cameras
and scanners and explaining the services the store offers. Not only were
we impressed with the wide scope of their business, but the presentation
was very professional, well organized with many of Dan's employees there
to entertain our questions. One of our most informative meetings ever!
Go visit!

When the latest new domain name extensions ('dot' info, 'dot' tv, 'dot'
pro, 'dot' biz, 'dot' name, etc.) were sold last year, another member,
Jan McIntosh, decided to buy the name, sauconvalley 'dot' info. Having
been frustrated in trying to find homegrown Saucon Valley websites (she
knew existed) by searching the internet, she felt a need to have a
community 'portal' or an index of links. Just underway, the website was
born November 8th, 2002. She pleased to announce it
will be a pop-up-window-free information site! Read all about domain
names here.
