Annual membership includes both the extensive online listing as well as a listing in the print edition. Your members can join and take advantage of our 10% discount to new members. See the coupon at the bottom of this newsletter for more information.   B&B Cookbooks Do your members have their own cookbook? We advertise our member's cookbooks for free and without commission on LanierBB.com. Let us help get the word out about your Association Member's delicious, time tested, and guest approved recipes. The cookbooks are included on the inn's LanierBB.com listing as well as accessible via our Recipes area and our B&B Store. New Amenity Categories on LanierBB.com One of the great appeals of staying at a bed and breakfast is that each one is as unique as the innkeeper's themselves. To match the inngoer with the perfect getaway, we have added more searchable Amenity categories. Inns can mark whether they are Green, offer Spa Services or can accommodate special diets. They can also let guests know that golf courses, wineries and colleges are nearby. There are over 30 categories that innkeepers can select as appropriate to their B&B which will help our online users find them even faster.   Share Your Wisdom Does your Association have wisdom to share with the B&B community? We would be delighted to post your articles in our Innkeeper's Resource area with full attribution given to you. You can send your article via email and we'll be happy to upload it for you.
