• 11/13/09 - David decided (with input from Susan and Donna) to continue running SWPA's ad on Gateway To Sedona. Victoria (the owner of Gateway To Sedona) allowed us to continue our current ad, at a reduced price -- $600.00 for 6 months. David decided on six months, rather than a year, so the permanent SWPA Team could revisit this issue when they have been voted in and begin looking at where we can get the most bang for SWPA's advertising bucks. Victoria estimated that SWPA's ad on Gateway to Sedona generated about 1487 click-throughs this past year, which is outstanding. Our new stats page backs up this estimate. Members are encouraged to keep an eye on the leads that are produced via our automated form and watch to see how many of these leads find us through Gateway To Sedona.

Here's a blast from the past. Sandy Ezrine, the original owner of Weddings In Sedona, staged one of the most unusual weddings ever. Sandy Ezrine was the minister, Bob Coates was the photographer, David Sunfellow was the videographer, and the bride and groom, well, they were a couple of dogs. Literally.
