April Client Spotlight
In the right light the sun hits the golden brick of a former sewing factory in downtown Myerstown and the whole building glows. The perfect introduction for the light-filled space within that is the home of
Char Co.
This brand consulting and creative studio was founded eight years ago by
Char Newswanger
, a woman who radiates style and quiet charm. She began her journey as a photographer and has since transformed into a “team of photographers, stylists and storytellers that believe in empowering and inspiring creative entrepreneurs.”
About a year ago Char, saw her client base growing, and decided there was a need for an outside perspective from someone who has also walked the journey and had experience that they could share. After reaching out to
SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon
Char began a close working relationship with mentor, Kevin St. Cyr.

Dear Mentors:
We are again invited to help our friends at
ASSETS
with their spring
Business Start-Up Learning Circle
cohort with 15 entrepreneurs.
This will occur on April 4, 2018 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the
Southern Market Center
(100 S. Queen Street).
We have helped out in the past, and those of us who attended came away gratified and delighted.
The
Learning Circle
members are enthusiastic entrepreneurs who appreciate our help and often become long-term clients. The
ASSETS
staff are terrific to work with and make our jobs easy.
As in the past, Lou Davenport will make an initial presentation on Business Plans, as only he can, and then we move on to one-on-one mentoring.
Please let me know if you would like to attend. You will not regret it.
Thanks.
Larry
