Letip Chester County East

LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, had a good time networking during our meeting on Tuesday. We also enjoyed the company of 2 guests:  Bob Evans of EDGE Printing & Packaging and Martha Hilty of Bryn Mawr Trust Company.

SPEAKERS:  Marshall Pearson, wills and estates attorney and Bridget Hanley of Little Conestoga Picture Framing.

1st Speaker: Marshall discussed the importance of why all adults should have three key documents in place: 1. A will; 2. Living will; and 3. power of attorney. Wills are basically a written testament as to how you wish to have your assets and property to be distributed after death. A living will is an advance directive that allows you to give instructions to your health care providers and your family about the types of treatments you want or don't want to receive if you become incapacitated. A power of attorney is a document that allows you to appoint a person or organization to handle your affairs while you're unavailable or unable to do so. A good lead is a young family or senior citizens.

2^nd Speaker:   Bridget enjoys working on a broad array of framing projects – from historical documents and sports memorabilia to prints and pictures and more! She provides great attention to detail and her costs are extremely reasonable. One of our fellow Tippers brought in an enlarged photo to be framed by Bridget. She used the photo as an example to demonstrate how she works with her clients to select the right frame - based on colors in the picture, the room it will be hung in, etc… unlike those big crafts stores!
