AABBI will be joining the Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association and the Arizona Restaurant & Hospitality Association for Hospitality Day at the Capitol.

Join us in Phoenix, if you are able, for this special luncheon for  members and our state leaders.  This is an outstanding opportunity for us small business innkeepers to meet with larger hotel representatives and share ideas with our legislators in an informal and casual setting.

Thursday, March 19, 2009
Luncheon: 12:00 pm - 1:30 p.m.
AABBI Member Cost: FREE
Non-Member Cost: $50 per person
Parking: Wesley Bolin Plaza parking lot, east of Capitol Building.

RSVP by March 17, 2009 by calling AzHLA at (602) 604-0729.

AABBI will be represented by our AzHLA Board Representative, Richard Svendsen, and I am hopeful that I will be able to attend, but anyone from AABBI who can participate is enthusiastically welcomed!

I am very excited that, for the first time, Arizona's B&B Innkeepers will be front-and-center before our legislators.  This is especially important as critical budget decisions are being proposed in the Arizona Legislature that may dramatically impact tourism marketing, sales and property taxes and other areas affecting our personal and professional livelihoods.
