Gary Sonnenberg of Deutsche Strasse Bed & Breakfast has been named President of the Minnesota Bed & Breakfast Association, and the Willkommen Committee stopped by to congratulate him and learn more about this position.  Gary and his wife Ramona have been members of MBBA since they began the Deutsche Strasse 18 years ago.  There are currently 150+ members, and the majority of MN B&B’s belong to this state-wide organization.  The President term is a 2-year commitment.  Gary and the executive committee plan on focusing on recruiting more members, providing more conferences and training opportunities for members, promoting the new website, www.minnesotabedandbreakfasts.org, and publishing their yearly guide book which is circulated in and out of state.  Congrats, Gary, and best of luck!
