A wonderful before and after slide show presented the real value of having a professional create a look to enhance the grounds of your home or business.  Year round service includes snow maintenence too!  A very popular item is the "Staycation", a beautifully designed patio customized to your wishes and makes you have a vacation right at home!

Top O the Morning to Letip with a grand day for business referrals.  Our speakers were W. marshal Pearson, attorney, and Jack Ansley, from John H Ansley Photography.

W. Marshal Pearson, Estate planning Attorney, spoke of estate planning, and describing how you should transfer your assets the way you want to.  A Living will is very important, and choosing a power of attorney to carry out those wishes is critical.  He reviewed steps to make a living will, and guidelines to prepare your chosen one about your decisions.  A serious subject that way presented in a very compassionate way is what makes Marshal Pearson an expert in his field.

As a graduate of St Joes, and Army and Vietnam Veteran, Jack Ansley, portrait photographer, began working with his father in 1972. He showed us a wonderful video slide show of his most favorite works, displaying portraits, amazing pets ( how does he get them to pose so regally?), and porfessional, corporate portraits.  His focus is on formal portraits, and his willingness to accomodate families and clients even on Sundays, and holidays, separates his service from others. He is truly an artist!

March 8 meeting was an overview of our elections.  The board as is, took time to explain to the member what each role is, their postitin and responsibilities. The president, Greg Cazillo revealed his vision to reach 30 members this year.  It will be done!  Just think, 30 referrals for your business!

Greg also took time to talk about his experiences at the (help me here) National convention for Internet Marketing.  A very lively and dynamic discussion ensued about social networking, the trends in social media and how important this change is to promoting your business.  The importance of an email newletter to reach your contacts is imperative! Once a month, reach out to those you do business with, and those you would like to!  Greg, as website designer, can help you with this.
