H. The homepage of the website has now been edited, removing the Dec. 2023 events that were still showing.

Item 1: President’s Report (Jessica): “Alright! Welcome all … We are in our 4th month, second quarter of the year already!”
A. BBLV announced some of their employees moving on – One being one of our ticket advertisement/comp ticket connections (Kirk Reed). Jessica communicated with the other contacts from the March lottery tickets to see what ‘April’ tickets they might want to share with us.
C. Officers met at the Gutzats after the March Adopt-A-Highway clean-up to Inventory the LVJBS Archive. The next Inventory meeting will be on SUNDAY, MAY 5th at the Gutzats. We are considering our next Adopt-A-Highway roadside clean-up on this day as well.

E. Advertising with KUNV for April/May. We discussed a 30-second clip about the LVJBS with a familiar jam band in the background. Greg will help create the content for the clip.
G. Many people have inquired about ‘how to vend’ at Robert Shatzer’s recently announced TUSCANY SHAKEDOWN VEGAS events. Robert asked us to share his name and the vendor form with anyone who makes contact & to have them say ‘the LVJBS sent ‘em’.
H. Robert (& his Tuscany crew of four) is asking for help on a viral-video-ad He wants to make…A variety of people saying ‘SHAKEDOWN VEGAS’ in “funny voices/accents”. The Tolsons plan to bring the LVJBS banner to the Sand Dollar and record a video.
I. DONATION of the two FLUTES can take place on FRIDAY, APRIL 12th @ 9 AM for 30 minutes. The Band Director at Las Vegas High School (E. Sahara & Tree Line Road, near Hollywood) was excited and grateful to hear of our donation. He wanted their ‘advanced band’ to be in class to share a song or two with those who attend. We’ll be meeting at the school around 8:50 AM to sign-in, get a Visitor’s Badge and will leave by 9:30 AM.
J. Tiffany B. reached out concerning how the LVJBS Membership info on our website reads: Single Membership/Couples Membership/Friend of LVJBS (non-Member)…It reads they will be notified of events and “eligible for open ticket offers”. She asks if those ‘Friends of’ are eligible for lotteries, etc. if the $10/mo. isn’t paid. Jessica told her that it is for random shows, depending on finding more venues & not necessarily the BBLV or VIRGIN ones, unless there are extras. We discussed editing the wording on the website. (Greg to send new wording/edits.)
K. WEBSITE: Still reads December 2023 events on the homepage. We discussed the needed edits so Liani can help us make changes.
A. Alligators – Greg replied their way via email on 3/31. He’s providing bands that reach out with interest in playing during Dead & Co. residency with Robert Shatzer’s information. We are still seeking a cost-effective venue to host events.

DECEMBER 2023 LVJBS Meeting Minutes
Date: December 5, 2023
Location: Rocky’s Bar & Grill
Attendees: Johnnie T., Paige T., Jessica G., Greg S., Jimmy C., Kathy G., Fred G., David D., Angela C., Brett R., Dan R.
Item 1: President’s Report (Johnnie): “Okay, Folks…Let’s get ‘er started!”
A. Thank you to all of the 2023 Officers and Committee Heads for all they did for the LVJBS this past year. It’s been a great year of trying to throw various events and other attempts to raise monies.
B. Recap of November’s Tech-needs:
Before year’s end, we are hoping to ensure the ‘procedural things’ are in place, according to the Bi-Laws. We will ensure that the monthly meetings are held for the elected Officers and Committee heads (possibly via Zoom) and the Members’ meetings are taking place quarterly (at random local locations). At the December 2023 meeting, we will review the Bi-Laws and give a refresher to those who may need it and share its info with the new elected Officers. We will also ensure a review of each Officers’ duties is had (e.g. Current President has been handling the Tech needs (emails of events, etc.), Social Media Chair to handle the Twitter, IG, Facebook announcements, etc.)
WildApricot has an option for TEXT MESSAGING our members and/or EMAIL. A notification will be sent, asking members if they are ‘willing to accept text messages’. (Pricing was originally $30 and is now $15/year). Texting prices vary: $6/month (or $.04/message). WildApricot is currently costing us $140/month. More details TBD.
C. Officer Elections for 2024: 2023 had 38 paid members. 22 members votes for the 2024 elections.
Current 2023 Officers:
PRESIDENT: Johnnie Tolson, VICE PRESIDENT: Greg Serensits, TREASURER: Paige Tolson, SECRETARY: Jessica Grant, MAYOR: Shannon Stark
Elected 2024 Officers:
PRESIDENT: Jessica Grant, VICE PRESIDENT: Greg Serensits, TREASURER: Paige Tolson, SECRETARY: (pending: Jessica Grant elected, but can only hold one Office.) MAYOR: Shana Bachman
D.JT to send the other five 2024 Mayor Nominees an email to see if one of them would like to become our Secretary and help with those needs since the Secretary Office is again open. We will have another voting session to determine who the group would like to support for this change. The new Officer will be announced before our January 2nd meeting.
E. IT-Committee Head position is needed. Group voted & all ‘Ayes of the World’ support this new position to assist the Officers with the Technology needs. For now, the current Secretary (Jessica) will create a GoogleDoc and share it with the LVJBS Team to help identify ‘what tasks are needed’ & ‘what tasks are done’. We feel this will help with communication amongst tasks.
F. JT made contact with Harrison Ezratty (RELIX magazine promotor) about needing any assistance at the upcoming Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas (BBLV) shows in exchange for comp-tickets to jam band-events. Upcoming: Keller Williams, Pink Talking Fish, Lettuce, Matisyahu (More info TBD)
Approximate agenda of events:
1:00 PM: Doors open
2-3:00: PITCHFORK
3:30-6:30: CATFISH JOHN
6:30-9:00: Acoustic Campfire Session/Clean-up
C. The created STATIC STICKER will be free to all paid attendees of the Holidaze Event ($2/each for additional or future sales). Also, thanks to David DeGroot for his colored-hand-flyer that will be available for those to have as a keepsake.
A. We are glad that the rumored ‘PHISH BOWL’ at the Sphere is happening! April 18-21, 2024.
B. Spoke with PINK TALKING FISH who will be playing the BBLV on Sunday, January 28th. They don’t plan on bringing their ‘backline’ and asked if any local band would be able to ‘open’ for them, allowing their use of equipment. Greg reached out to a few of our local bands and none were interested for that date. Dave B. spoke with the DUNE BABOONS. They don’t use a keyboard, so unsure what will be decided. (Greg to ask Eric of PTF to create a list of backline needs so we can assist with this event.)
C. A PHISH-BOWL after-party is definitely a thought for a successful event. We contacted both Nathan and the SandDollar LV and Andrew at Virgin Hotel’s Oxford24, yet didn’t hear back, in regards to helping promote an event for the late night of Friday, 4/19.
We were contacted by Darren (former Particle Drummer) who is interested in having his current band, WALL OF SOUND, play an after show & Jeff from SHAKY FEELIN’. Groups voted on SHAKY FEELIN’ having more of a fan base, which would make for a successful after party event. (More details TBD.)
(We are assuming Pete Shapiro (of the Brooklyn Bowl) might be working on something at the nearby, in walking-distance from the Sphere, BBLV. We will await further updates to decide any involvement.)
D. CUBENSIS is playing in Tempe, AZ on Thursday, 2/1 & asked about possibly coming here on Friday, 2/2. (Suggested they make contact with the SandDollar for their band’s price-offer plus tips, since we don’t have a great venue option at this time.)

An email with the required duties will be sent to the Nominees on November 15th, asking for the acceptance/denial of the position by Nov. 17th so the ballots can be sent to the dues paying members to place their votes.
D. Spoke again with Michelle Harris at the Pioneer Saloon. They have welcomed us to choose a future date (Nov./Dec.) for one of their 12 PM- 4 PM events where a ‘specialty drink’ will be advertised and those who purchase it, will help raise monies for the LVJBS—a portion of the drink’s proceeds will come back to the LVJBS. (An email will the upcoming bands’ names will be sent to the LVJBS Team Page for us to decide which event to host. We will need a few representatives to help share the info about what the LVJBS does and mention our fundraiser beverage while there.) More details TBD.
E. The ‘Corporate Sponsor Brochure’ is currently getting printed through VistaPrint & will be sent out to possible Sponsors shortly after.
F. Rockstars of Tomorrow has recently been introduced to us by Marissa Hollenback (via Tiffany Belcher) to help them gain sponsorship of musicians to assist their young musicians as they begin their musical journeys. We hope to learn more about their program in 2024 to assist them, as needed.
G. Our LVJBS TEAM page is one that the Current Officers and Committee Heads will use to share info/behind the scenes discussions. (We need to ensure all members who need to be on it, remains on the page. It looks like a member was accidently removed?)
Item 2: Vice President’s Report & PRODUCTION Report (Greg via JT)
A. The Savers FUNDrive raised $140.42. Thanks to Jimmy C. for the use of the Van to help deliver/weigh the collected goods. (Also, thanks to RJ Fuqua for helping to load the Tolson/Grant collection to store at his home.)

Item 1: President’s Report (Johnnie): “Ready to get going, Guys!”

B. The ‘Corporate Sponsor Brochure’ is almost ready for printing. Jessica to help with printing the first set. We will be hand-printing the envelopes for a more-personal feel. We will need to price printing, get envelopes and postage.
C. Officer Elections for 2024: Be on the lookout for a future email which will have a SURVEY along with a detailed email about the various LVJBS offices, the election process, and the annual dues payment options/discounts. (Survey has been delayed due to its formatting in WildApricot.) *Nominations will be needed by November 1st, Nominees can accept or decline their nomination by the November meeting of the 7th, through the 10th, & the elections for the 2024 Officers will happen at the December 5th LVJBS meeting—2023 active members can vote.
D. (No new update) Been chatting with Michelle Harris at the Pioneer Saloon. They have welcomed us to choose a future date for one of their 12 PM- 4 PM events where a ‘specialty drink’ will be advertised and those who purchase it, will help raise monies for the LVJBS—a portion of the drink’s proceeds will come back to the LVJBS. (We are hoping for one of our members’ bands to participate—Catfish John, Pitchfork?) More details/date TBD.
Item 2: Vice President’s Report & PRODUCTION Report (Greg via JT):
A. The mentioned Golf Tournament has not had any comments or interest in the recent Facebook post about it. One more post with an actual date listed will be the next step to see if anyone wants to participate.
B. The FUNDrive program from SAVERS consignment stores is happening now! The Collection date for the donations is SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4th. Been in contact with the SAVERS event organizer who is inquiring our thought on how many boxes/bags we anticipate. We are unsure of this answer, but we have a good start with advertising and pick-up areas. So far we have a South Las Vegas and an East Las Vegas Collection site (RJ Fuqua’s and Greg’s home) and we are looking into other convenient locations to help make the Nov. 4th morning pick-ups easily happen. (We are anticipating having enough donations to make the ‘rented’ UHaul truck reimbursed ($75) through Savers due the many boxes of books that are already readied. Greg will make rounds to the pick-up areas on the morning of Nov. 4th.)
--LVJBS will provide large plastic bags for ease of collecting. Just let an Officer know and some can be brought your way!
COLLECTION REMINDERS:
*Collecting Clothes (men’s, women’s, children’s), clothes, coats, shoes, scarves, handbags, wallets, fashion accessories, belts, backpacks, etc. ($.20/lb.)

C. LVJBS Holiday Party is ready to be planned. We are looking into SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9th. Dave B. to inquire about the use of GARAGE MAHAL as a venue and Greg to see if CATFISH JOHN will be available to perform. (Possible PITCHFORK as some ‘before play’….) More details TBA.
