Hello Tippers! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and LeTip Chester County East, the premier networking group of Chester County, is busy making deals! At our last meeting we had one guest – welcome to Martin Ritter of Martin H Ritter Construction Co. (general contractor), back for a 2nd visit.

SPEAKERSScott Brown of James Brown Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning and Jack Ansley of John H. Ansley Studio (portrait photography).

1st Speaker:  Scott B.’s presentation focused on how you can use less energy and save more money with various rebates, cash incentives and energy saving tips. For e.g, If you purchase an energy-efficient product or renewable energy system for your home, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit - 30% of cost up to $1,500 which expires 12/31. For more information, on this and other incentives, please view http://www.energystar.gov, http://www.pecosmartideas.com/, http://www.keystonehelp.com/, http://www.dsireusa.org/. A good lead for Scott is a home owner or property/facility manager who is interested in exploring energy saving initiatives for the home or office.

2nd Speaker:  Jack is interested in targeting office spaces in need of assistance with their decorating initiatives by selecting beautiful photos from Jack’s collection. Jack has over 3,000 stock photos that can be perused in selecting the right photos to display in the office space, based on the decorum. (And Bridget Hanley can frame these pictures. That’s 2 tips in 1!) Many of the photos are of Philly area scenes, so these pictures would be the perfect decorative touch for a local office space. A good lead for Jack is an office manager or facility manager of a local company that is moving into a new office space or is interested in re-decorating their existing office space.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE, Q1: Congratulations to the following Tippers for perfect attendance during our first quarter of 2010:

Jack Ansley, Mike Clark, Scott Darling and Dieter Enz.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK"You never know, ... You stay with it until the end. It's like Yogi Berra said, it ain't over until it's over and the fat lady sings.” By Charlie Manuel

Hello Tippers! LeTip Chester County East, the premier networking group of Chester County, hosted another interesting meeting. Our two guests included Mark Kochanowsky of A to Z Appliance Repair and, back for a 2nd visit, Janet Raimondo of Heartland Payment Systems (credit card processing & payroll services).

SPEAKERSTeri West of Superior Home Mortgage and Gary Siano of Guided Wealth Management (financial planner).

1st Speaker:  Teri can help current or potential home buyers with their mortgage needs – starting with a free credit score analysis. A good credit score starts at around 740, which directly impacts your mortgage financing options. Teri can advise clients on how to improve a credit score before they apply for a mortgage. And, of course, the first-time homebuyer tax credit ends April 30th! Good leads for Teri are engaged couples, current homeowners who are interested in upgrading their existing home and/or are looking to refinance their home.

2nd Speaker:  Gary discussed the different factors that influence your financial future: 1. Asset Allocation; 2. Sequence of Returns; and 3. Deposits and Withdraws. Gary takes the time to explain key investment concepts, in plain English, to his clients. He takes them through a financial discovery process - evaluating retirement goals, objectives, and understanding what is most important to them. Good leads for Gary are individuals who have been laid off from their job and need to rollover their 401K, as well as those that are getting ready to retire.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK"Somehow I can’t believe there are many heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret can be summarized in four C’s. They are: curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of these is confidence." By Walt Disney
