HAPPY NEW YEAR, AABBI members!

As we kick off 2010, please don't forget to make use of AABBI's interactive Calendar of Events.  It's designed specifically to attract Arizona visitors to your town and to your inn.  Adding an event only takes a few minutes.

While there is certainly no shortage of events listings across Arizona, AABBI's is promoted as unique among others.  What drives AABBI's calendar is the eclectic collection of events from all corners of Arizona that are contributed exclusively by our member innkeepers.

Not only does this flood our calendar with smaller, more obscure events than what are broadly publicized, it represents the very same set of events that our member innkeepers would personally recommend to their guests.  These, along with the more notable larger events, create yet another tool that will allow users of AABBI's website to plan their visit to Arizona.

Our hope is that you, as an AABBI member, will take the time througout the year to load our calendar with your favorite weekly, monthly, annual or one-time events from your local area.  Our intention is to guide prospective visitors to your inn via these local events.

Click on CALENDAR OF EVENTS from the AABBI home page, www.Arizona-Bed-Breakfast.com.  Read the introduction and look for the Member Instructions link to print a PDF detailing how to add and edit events.  Take time to simply browse the calendar and its functions to familiarize yourself with how it works.

In order to keep the philosophy of our calendar pure--to feature a more personal side of Arizona--AABBI will only accept event postings from AABBI member inns.  The content, therefore, is up to all of us.  Please make the commitment to help make this feature as great and useful as it can be.

If you have any questions at all, please let me know.
