About The Publisher: Melissa Baltazar

Hello Allentown Families!

I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new publisher of Macaroni Kid Allentown! My name is Melissa, and I’m so excited to bring you the best events, activities, and resources for families in our wonderful community.

A little about me: I’ve always loved researching and producing fun events and sharing them with family and friends, so becoming your Macaroni Kid publisher feels like the perfect fit! With a background in professional writing and a passion for connecting with people, I couldn’t think of a better way to use my skills and interests to serve Allentown to Kutztown families like yours.

My goal is to make Macaroni Kid Allentown your go-to guide for all things family-friendly. From local events and activities to helpful parenting tips and community news, I’m here to keep you informed, entertained, and inspired.

But I don’t want this to be a one-sided conversation—I’d love to hear from you! What’s on your mind? What types of content would you find most helpful? Are there local events, organizations, or businesses you think deserve a spotlight? Let me know! Together, we can make this newsletter a true reflection of the vibrant and diverse community we all love.

So, whether you're looking for your next family outing, tips to make your day a little easier, or just a dash of inspiration, I’m here to help. Let’s make family time fun, memorable, and meaningful!

Thank you for welcoming me into your inbox and into this amazing community. I look forward to connecting with you and helping your family discover all the wonderful things Allentown has to offer!

Warmly,
Melissa B
