LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. We were joined by a guest representing the category of nutrition products.

Our showboater was Greg Cazillo, our website designer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He showed us an example of a website he has been working on. Greg places a high priority on making sure that sites will be automatically adjust to be viewable on any size screen, especially since more people are viewing websites on mobile devices. He can also program the ability for visitors to the site to RSVP for events, which is easier and less expensive for the event organizers.

Our speaker was our portrait photographer, Jack Ansley (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He gave us a brief history of portrait photography, which was originally a much more time-consuming and expensive practice than it is today. In fact, early portrait photos were symbols of prosperity. Now we are all amateur photographers and photo subjects, since most cell phones have cameras. However, we tend to print fewer photos, and we also may lack the photographer's eye to judge what ought to be in the frame of the picture. A professional photographer knows how to position his subjects to get the best photograph, and he also has lighting and computer tools to make a picture look even better. Jack can also restore and print old photographs, and he is happy to consult with anyone who has an old picture that needs to be restored and/or resized.

Have a great week!

Lonnie displayed the gifts that he offers to customers who obtain their mortgages with him (first mortgages or refinances) as well as information comparing rental payments versus mortgage payments.

Our speaker was Scott Brown, our heating and air conditioning contractor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Scott showed us photos of various projects that his company has worked on. He installed a high velocity system in the addition on a home. He showed us an example of the installation of radiant floor heating underneath hardwood flooring. Scott showed several photos of the stages of the installation of geothermal systems, including the drilling of vertical wells outside the home. Water will absorb heat from the ground or expel heat into the ground in these wells. Obviously, Scott can perform many types of work beyond the few he was able to show us in the photos. Contact him to discuss heating and air conditioning options.

LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, September 9, 2014. We were joined by a guest representing the business category of Actuary.

Jack Ansley, our portrait photographer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), provided the showboating. He displayed various photographs that he has taken of scenery, animals, and still life objects. Jack invited us each to take a photo and reminded us that photographs can make great gifts. He can frame photographs, and he can also make them into custom greeting cards. Contact him for more information or to place an order.

Our speaker was our chiropractor, Dr. Joe Zappy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Joe told us that a chiropractor is a medical specialist who treats musculoskeletal problems. He takes a movement-based approach to treatment. He will often film people in motion so he can see where the weaknesses and imbalances are. He then uses a combination of manual therapies and corrective exercises to help achieve balance and proper movement form. Joe prefers to help people get better and then see them as needed in the future rather than locking each client into an endless series of office visits. He treats many athletes and has attended physical therapy and athletic performance seminars to help expand his treatment options and techniques. Joe often partners with a local physical therapist. Joe is not a physical therapist, although he knows some therapeutic techniques. The physical therapist may look to Joe to provide neuromuscular re-education, and then Joe sends the patient back for physical therapy. Joe's movement assessments can help him to determine which muscle or muscles are in need of treatment. He also helped to develop a Rehabilitation to Performance program that is taught in chiropractic schools around the country. Contact Joe for an orthopedic exam and the best chiropractic treatment plan for your needs.

LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, September 2, 2014.Our showboater was Dr. Joe Zappy, our chiropractor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He brought vertebral bones and a pelvic bone for us to look at, as well as several diagnostic tools that he uses with his patients. Joe made the point that diagnosis is important; without the correct diagnosis, it is difficult to effectively treat a problem. He performs a comprehensive orthopedic exam for every patient, so he can develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Our speaker was one of our newer members, Rob O'Keefe, our contractor/builder from JMB Custom Renovations (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). His company is licensed to work in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. They accept both residential and commercial jobs of various types, although their specialties are decks and basements. They have also recently worked on additions, garages, attics, and window installation; and they are certified for lead and asbestos abatement. Rob's personal experience in the field started with training in engineering when he was in the US Army, and he worked with the Army Corps of Engineers. As a civilian, he received degrees in both construction management and business. He now proudly works with JMB Custom Renovations. JMB will always consider each customer's budget, present a variety of construction options, and educate the customer about what type of work will be involved, what can feasibly be accomplished, and how long a job may last.

David Schreier, our tree care specialist from 4Seasons Arborscapes (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), was both our speaker and showboater. He is the co-owner of 4Seasons Arborscapes, and the company formed in 2009. However, David has always loved trees, and he spent several years doing tree work on weekends while working at a corporate job during the week. In his business, obviously caring for trees is important, but David also places a high value on ethics and follow-up. He and is company are worthy of your trust. David and his crew are also skilled and use various types of tools and equipment for different jobs. Sometimes rigging and ropes are necessary to move trees out of a precarious position, and creative engineering skills are brought into play. Videos of tree-moving jobs are available on the website www.4seasonsarborscapes.com. Overall, David is most interested in preserving trees, using pruning and cabling to keep trees stable and safe.
