Wanda Doyle, Tybee Island Mayor Pro Tem, is your host for the Ask Tybee Wanda forum. Wanda moved to Tybee Island in 1998 to prepare for retirement after 30 years of teaching. After retirement from teaching, she opened a plant nursery with her daughters. Almost four years ago Wanda decided to run for Tybee Island City Council. She was elected and has been on City Council since that time. She is now the Mayor Pro Tem. Wanda enjoys being involved in Tybee’s small community. She welcomes questions about the unique island.
In Focus is keytosavannah.com’s photo gallery which features pictures from events around town. In partnership with Bunny Ware of New South Events, keytosavannah.com is able to deliver professional photos that truly give viewers the essence of what Savannah is all about. Bunny will also carry with her keytosavannah.com reminder cards to hand out to those people she photographs.
Bunny hails from Wadley, Georgia and has lived in Savannah for 12 years. After college, she worked as Outside Sales for various automotive companies. During that time she also worked with Dan Leger of Southern Images Photography and began taking Savannah's business and networking pictures. Through working with Dan, she began her work with Chef Matt Cohen and his partner Chef Scott Gordon at The New South Cafe as the Sales & Marketing director. She is now the owner of New South Events and Photography and photographs and offers the images to the groups, meetings or events she attends.
“Every feature we add to keytosavannah.com is with the community in mind,” states Bob Letcher, keytosavannah.com COO, “We do not want to be just a Savannah phone book. We aim to be interactive, vibrant, and informative. I think these features, maybe more than any other we’ve added, make the site just that.”
Keytosavannah.com was launched in October 2008. While billed as a travel website, locals will also find the extensive database of retailers, restaurants and events useful. “If you know where you are vacationing, you don’t want to spend hours looking all over the Internet for information about the place,” says Letcher, “You just want it to be easy.”
eMarketSouth, keytosavannah parent company, began in 1999 as a dynamic, database-driven website design and hosting firm and registered as a Georgia, LLC in January of 2000. eMarketSouth retains such clients as EMC Engineering, Brown’s Guide to Georgia, Mopper-Stapen, and Southern Mamas.
