April showers did not hamper the LeTip CCE meeting, as we joined for a lot of laughs and honored our newest member Andy Desiderio of  Hope and Anchor Woodworks, custom cabinetry and woodworking.  Welcome Andy!

Our speakers were Scott Darling of Remax, and Craig Constable of Mass Mutual.

Scott Darling,  is not your typical Realtor.  As a sixteen year veteran of LeTip, he asked teh question :Is there a move in your future?" He would like us to keep our ears open for life changing situations such as a job promotion ( looking for a new house), Job downsize ( looking for a smaller house), a marriage, divorce, new baby, and seniors.   As a certified residential specialist and one of the very first in Chester County to become a certified senior real estate specialist, Scott is very qualified to help you with your new life changing situation.  He has helped over 500 families move, and is also an Instructor for investing in real estate.  Scott doesn't stop at the closing, but follows up with all of his clients with a survey, and anything he can help with after his clients get settled into their new homes!

Craig Constable of Mass Mutual, is our Life, Health and disability Insurance Specialist. Statistics show that 7 out of 10 people will experience a disability that may last 5 years or more!  Disability Insurance will protect your ability to earn an income, and Craig can steer clients in the right direction to protect their valuable working status, and salaries. Good referrals for him are those in professional positions such as dentists, doctors, and lawyers practices.

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.
