It was the morning before the “big storm” and there was lots of tipping at the weekly meeting of LeTip Chester County East (CCE). We had the pleasure of one guest – John Reynolds of John Reynolds Design Associates (building design and restoration).

SPEAKER: Our two speakers were Mark Burkholder of Burkholder Brothers Landscaping and Gary Siano of Guided Wealth Management.

1st Speaker:  Mark discussed the snow removal piece of his business, which has kept his team extremely busy this winter season. However, they are now gearing up for the spring time. Mark is offering a “turf care special” which consists of two free applications if signed up before 3/15 and free comprehensive soil analysis with program. Burkholder Brothers also installs and services lawn and garden sprinkler systems. Mark is proud of their  proactive approach with clients who deal with the same point-of-contact at all times. A good referral is any commercial or residential property in Chester County.

2nd Speaker:  Gary, who is an independent wealth manager, discussed his goals in helping clients with financial planning - which is to diversify in stocks and bonds PLUS use different products like annuities. Gary is hosting a dinner meeting at Maggiano’s for clients and friends on February 18^th, 6:00pm. He will focus on the new year and explain important key investment concepts that will help solidify a prosperous financial future. Please RSVP! A good lead is any young adult about to be married to an individual who is about to retire, and anyone in between.
