***Reminder: Our Quarterly Business Mixer will be held on Tuesday, September 22, from 7:30-9:00am. Each LeTip CCE member will have a table to “display their wares” and discuss what products or services you offer, while explaining why you joined LeTip and how it has benefited you/your business. Please be sure to follow-up with your invitees, and also work on your display materials and give-aways!***
Our Speakers today included: Sue Bullock of Tuttle Marketing Services and promotional products specialist; and Mark Burkholder of Burkholder Brothers – landscaping, irrigation specialists and snow removal experts.

They can design, build and maintain any property.
