MINUTES

of the Heart of Texas Bed and Breakfast Owners Association Monthly Meeting

at Country Charm Bed and Breakfast, West

Tuesday, April 4, 2006

The meeting was called to order by President Susan Mazanec. Members present were John and Marcia Boggs, Joanne Heitmiller, Elmer and  Jo Ann Mulhausen, Ron and Barbara Epps,  Linda Williams,  Linda Johnson,  Shirley Land, Sandra Twitty,  Nancy Countess, Pam Allen, Bruce and Dorothy Dyer, and Susan Mazanec.** 

Guest speaker was Judy Maggard, Director of Parent Programs/Baylor Parents League.   Judy presented an advertising opportunity for the association in the Parents' Calendar for the school year 2006-2007.  The calendar would be sent out to all students' parents before the start of the school year.   The advertising consisted of 1/4, 1/2 and full page ads in the back of the calendar.  Judy fielded a multitude of questions, most of which centered around the area of placement of the ads.  Many members did not feel that the ads would receive much viewing if placed in the back, but expressed interest in ad placement within each particular month and the cost for each ad.  Judy left the meeting with the promise to find out how much a small block ad would cost, forward the information to Susan Mazanec, who would then pass the information out to the members for a vote. 

The subject of internet advertising /sponsored ads/cost-per click was brought up again and discussed.  Susan reported that more information is still being sought, but also that a Waco-based web marketer had expressed interest in attending the next meeting to make a presentation.  

Sandra Twitty gave the treasurers' report and also noted that dues were not received from Penny Mercer/Shabby Chic B&B.


Our host, Joanne Heitmiller provided yummy sandwiches, desserts & more (as well as nifty craft ideas!) for the enjoyment of all attendees.  Thanks, Joanne!


**The attendee list may not be correct, as I don't have the list that was passed around (?) and am basing this on my memory of the event, which is limited.  Please bring any corrections to my attention.

A volunteer to take minutes at the next meeting would be greatly appreciated!

Minutes respectfully submitted  by  Susan Mazanec.
