LAS
VEGAS JAM BAND SOCIETY
Members Meeting Minutes
March 3, 2015
Meeting Begins: 7:37PM
'We'll go ahead and start'¦'
President's Report (Greg):
*Our last show, The New Mastersounds at the Hard
Rock Live was a good time, but a loss for both us,
and the Hard Rock Live. The LVJBS lost about $1k.
The good news is that after discussion with the
band, they really appreciated the crowd and mentioned
it being as some of the best energy in the room,
in comparison to the other nights played thus far
this current tour.
*The current membership site, WILD APRICOT seems
to be going well. It's going to take some
time and learning to make it the most beneficial.
Suggestion: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. **Members Please
Note: If your email address is no current, there
will be no contact from the auto-site-messages.
*The Brooklyn Bowl has continued to be cooperative
with the complimentary tickets for advertising on
our site. We are grateful. Be sure to support this
great addition to our city.
Vice President's Report (Kathy):
*There have been some emails sent amongst the Officers
and Committee Heads, in regards to some lack of
email communication on the Yahoo!Group and whether
or not to keep it going since the new site and Facebook
are being used, as well.
(Our webmaster has been off-duty, keeping the website
from being easily updated with the monthly members
meeting minutes' and the auto-reminders for
the upcoming meetings. Thanks to Stacey for the
fill-in help. Thanks to everyone for your patience
with the incorrect location/times that may have
been read. We will work to correct these problems
in the future!)
(Greg to send emails to better guesstimate which
sites are most commonly used for information and
to see if we can easily remove the Yahoo!Group system
(potential date: June 1st) and keep with the Facebook
posts and the Wild Apricot Site only.) More info
TBD.
Secretarys Report (Jessica):
Thanks to those who supported last month's
SWEET TOMATOES Friends & Family event. *The
next one will be at the APPLEBEES on Lake Mead and
Rainbow. (Our LVJBS Sister, Sheila, works at this
location, and throughout the date of TUESDAY, MARCH
24th, any visit (to-go OR dine-in) with the provided
flier, will get the LVJBS 15% of proceeds back!*)
Treasurer's Report (Paige):
So far, we have 76 paid Members for 2015.
We will continue to renew our virtual adoption for
the Lone Woof Rescue and for Amp-Medic.
Two stamps with the LVJBS website to stamp for easy-visual
on our LVJBS business cards came in.
(Discussion of whether or not the website is current
or how it is kept updated.)
Mayor's Report (Frobi (absent) via Jessica):
COLOR: Clear like a Jellyfish
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Fundraising Committee (Kathy):
We held a 50/50 at the last show. There were a few
posters from older shows sold. Had some interested
table-visitors.
The CELLO was brought over to Swainston MS and Dr.
Nunez, the Director was very appreciative.
The donated electric guitar from Jenny M. may have
some worth. Thoughts to either E-Bay sell it to
purchase either school-donation instruments or guitars/drumheads,
to be autographed, for LVJBS raffles. (Megan volunteered
Dave to research the guitar. More info TBD.)
Archive Committee (RJ): absent
PR Committee (Jenny): absent

*Future meeting locations will be posted to the
Facebook page for ease and convenience, prior to
the meetings. The Minutes will be continued to be
sent to the Yahoo!Group and to the website for now.
*Hoping more Members take part in our upcoming FRIENDS
& FAMILY events, so it's not the SAME
people organizing and getting 'burnt out'
doing so. Thinking MAY 'may' be a good
time for a VALLEY OF FIRE camp-out for the Friends
& Family to get together and be social.
---The MARCH event is TUESDAY, MARCH 24th at the
APPLEBEE'S on N. Rainbow/Lake Mead. The offer
is good throughout the day for convenience/lunch
ease, but the Members are looking at meeting between
5pm-8pm, to gather as a group, socially, with families
& friends. (Get a flier from any Officer or
look for it to be posted to our Facebook page/invite
to be made'¦'¦)

shared the idea of participating in the 25th Anniversary
of AFAN: Aids walk on SATURDAY, APRIL 19th. This
