Hello, again, members.

I was pleased to learn that, in the debate over Federal stimulus spending, one of our own has been assisted.

Jim and Marion Hook, AABBI Members and owners of the Adobe Rose Inn here in Tucson were featured in yesterday's Wall Street Journal with regard to an ARC Loan they received--an interest-free loan administered by the Small Business Administration.

The article may be read online through March 3 by clicking on the hyperlinked title below:

ARC Loans Help Distressed Businesses—but Act Fast
Stimulus Initiative Provides Interest-Free Funds Backed by the SBA; Popular Program May Peter Out by September

Congratulations, Jim and Marion.
