LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Exton, PA. We were joined by our region's Executive Director, Robert Smith-Felver. We also had a guest representing the category of wellness products.

Our showboater was new member Diane Lafferty, our Landscaping representative with Newcastle Lawn & Landscape (www.nclli.com). She informed us that this is a great time to plan springtime projects for landscaping and hardscaping. Diane had photos of beautiful outdoor spaces that included various types of fireplaces for a warm and inviting outdoor experience. We look forward to hearing from her as our speaker next week.

Our speaker for January 13 was our chiropractor, Dr. Joe Zappy from The Wellness Center of Chester County (www.WCofCC.com). He showed us a chart that indicated the number of education hours that chiropractors spend learning about a variety of subjects and compared these hours to the educational program for medical doctors. Chiropractors clearly have many more hours studying musculoskeletal issues and neurology. Joe is highly skilled at diagnosing and treating these sorts of issues. He discussed the example of a 12 year-old client who had always walked on her toes. Joe examined her gait (i.e., her pattern of walking), and he could see that her legs were externally rotated in the hip joints. He made adjustments to her feet and hips, and right away the girl could walk with a more typical heel-to-toe stride. Joe gave her some exercises to help retain proper joint alignment; he wants to empower all of his patients to take care of themselves. He makes sure to give each patient personal attention, particularly when instructing them in exercises, so that their form is correct and will yield the desired results. Ultimately, Joe wants his patients to get better and not just get locked into an endless stream of chiropractic visits. Contact him for movement assessments or for help with diagnosis and treatment of pain.

Our showboater was new member Mark Kochanowsky, our appliance repair person with A to Z Appliance Repair (www.atozappliancerepair.net). Mark presented a selection of promotional materials as well as a book he has written about caring for your appliances. We look forward to hearing from him as our speaker next week.

Our speaker was our massage therapist, Sue Scales from Hands Down Massage & Bodywork (www.handsdown.abmp.com). Sue mentioned some things that people may do or say that would indicate a need for massage therapy. These include long periods of standing or walking, running or other athletic pursuits, and stress. Massage can also be a great gift for that hard-to-shop-for person during this holiday season. Anyone who is trying to take better care of themself or to pursue better health would benefit from massage therapy as part of their healthy lifestyle. Sue can help with her personable manner and massage therapy tailored to the concerns of each individual client.

Our showboater was Jack Ansley, our portrait photographer (www.ansleyphoto.com). Jack is able to take individual, family, and pet photos. He can also print photos taken on a cell phone; just e-mail the picture to him, and he can print it as a traditional photo or on canvas.

Our speaker was Mark Kochanowsky from A to Z Appliance Repair (www.atozappliancerepair.net). Mark has worked in the field of appliance repair for 30 years, so he brings a wealth of experience to his work. He does not sell appliances, but he is happy to give advice about what to buy and where to purchase it. He knows which appliances tend to have trouble or can be difficult to repair, so he will steer people toward better products. Mark has seen all sorts of appliance troubles that have been caused by the actions (or inaction) of the owners, and he has written a book of maintenance tips for appliance care. He has also seen problems caused by incorrect installation, and he will install appliances correctly. One of Mark's biggest recommendations for care is to clean the vents on clothes dryers. When the vents are clogged with lint, the dryer's efficiency decreases. The simple vent cleaning can increase the life and performance of the dryer.

Our speaker was one of our newer members, Adam Perkowski from Springboard Media (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He is our home automation specialist, and he can engineer systems that allow customers to control various electrical devices from their cell phones. In some cases, they may even be able to save money on electric bills by controlling things remotely. Adam will make sure that everything works the way the customer wants it to, even if it takes several adjustments. If you know someone (or are someone) who is frustrated with their technology and would like to have their life made easier, contact Adam to find out how he can help.

Our speaker was Gary Hunter, our Carpenter Contractor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He walked us through the process of constructing a deck, complete with photos, architectural drawings, and samples of materials that he might use. Gary and his son have worked together on many carpentry projects, and they are always careful to plan and measure for a professional result. He makes sure to research and adhere to township codes for construction. At this time of year, he is finishing up his outdoor projects, and he is looking for indoor work during the colder months. He can fabricate crown molding, railings, cabinets, kitchens--just about anything made of wood. Please contact him for an estimate.
