Porch B&B and after a delicious meal of Taco Soup
and Cherry/Peach Cobbler, President John Boggs
called the meeting to order.
Ten B&B’s were
represented. John thanked and commended last year’s
officers and called the roll of last year’s
membership. All who were present introduced
themselves and stated how long they have been in
business. A discussion of how to locate and solicit
new B&B’s in the area ensued.

relaxing weekend. There are a lot of antique stores
and shops there. Pam also mentioned the possibility
of a B&B cruise.

John warned about some schemes being used by people
to book rooms for upcoming events
that turn out to
be bogus and attempts to get refunds fraudulently.
