Letip Chester County East

Our President Greg Cazillo and Vice President Scott Brown were away on vacation. But when the cats are away the mice still show up for great networking!

Our first speaker was Andy Desiderio of Hook and Anchor Custom Woodworking.  Certainly the most talented member we have, he took us through a slide show of some of his projects. From the drawing table to fnished product, Andy is the whole deal! Custom bars, cabinets fit to size, even odd placed and sized, and even designing a beauty salon complete with custom functional drawers like a lipstick drawer to organize all things girly!

Jack Blanton from JBND Tax Books told an amusing and effective fable of how our tax system works, starting out  with "ten men go into a bar to buy a beer....".  Within 5 minutes we all had a terrific grasp of how it all works. Check out their website and sign up for their tax newsletter to stay on top of your business taxes.

Our first speaker was Dieter Enz, professional painter of SCLI, and spoke of the importance of power washing your exteriors of home and busines to gain maximum improvement of the looks of your property.  A wonderful slide show revealed before and after examples of how power washing can extend the life of your homes, decks, and businesses. Dieter uses "green" products to insure the washing will last through the whole season.  Nice work, Dieter!

Scott Brown, of James Brown Heating and Plumbing has gone High Tech.  By taking his Ipad on site he can calculate, measure and deliver a proposal that allows the client to get information instantly.  His operating cost calculator can show the client annual savings when applying energy saving heating and air conditioning units to their homes.  He can also download a tax credit program and show the client exactly what they can apply to their tax deductions.You can't get more efficient than that! Great idea, Scott!

A very light turnout for the meeting, but those who did show their dedication to their Sales Force were rewarded.  Our speakers for this week were outstanding with their information of what they do.

Scott Darling, of Remax, revealed his secret to positive cash flow through investments properties.  Scott also teaches investing in real estate, and is interested is mentoring people who want to invest and plan their future through investment and rental properties. As usual, his charismatic delivery had many of  the members thinking through referrals for him.

Greg Cazillo, the Chapter's President and Website designer gave the group examples of the many types of websites that are out there.  From the very basic brochure- style to more involved media plans with video, audio, ecommerce, a even a tutorial that Greg offers only his clients to maintain their own sites if they choose. An excellent slide show displayed some of his favorite  sites and the varied options that are out there to get your message across the internet.

The Chapter also welcomed our newest member Michael Dunn and Preservation Tree Company, a certified arborist who can diagnose, treat and maintain the delicate lives of the trees around us.
