LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Exton, PA. We welcome new member Mike Dobbyn, our financial advisor. We were also joined by guests representing the categories of travel agent and flooring contractor.

Our showboater was our payroll specialist, Jacky Wilson with ADP (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). She had information available about the different services that ADP provides. She also showed us what the computer program would look like from the customer's perspective and explained how easy it would be to add new employees directly. Jacky makes excellent use of technology to make the payroll process as easy as possible.

Our speaker was our property and casualty insurance agent, Mike Hoopes (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  Mike has worked with the Chester Springs Insurance Group since 2011. He writes policies primarily with Farmers Insurance, but he also has connections that allow him to get policies with other carriers as well. Mike is able to write both residential and commercial insurance policies. He has a strong belief in what he does, which is protecting people in their times of loss. Mike strives to find the right balance between cost and coverage. He warned us that people who shop for the cheapest price may be buying a policy that won't cover them adequately. Ultimately, Mike provides a personal touch--he is YOUR agent, not just a random voice on the phone.
