Item 2: Vice President’s Report (Adam):
Item 6: Production Report (Greg):
· A. CUBENSIS has confirmed the Legends Lounge/Grateful Family Reunion for Saturday, March 25th @ The Hideaway. There is a conflict with the recently announce PIRATE FEST event at Craig Ranch Park in regards to their annual use of our SoundSystem and our sound-tech, Dan R. (Phone call made to Dan R. with these comments: We prefer to use our ‘old Legends Lounge’ system since this is an anniversary event. Discussion of priorities were had: We can’t change the date due to flight arrangements being made. Pirate Fest changed their ‘usual’ April date to March. We had our date chosen prior to their recent announcement of the 3/25 & 3/26 weekend. Do we rent one for our event? Utilize Dan R. for our event?) Decisions TBD soon.
Pitchfork will have their own system for their outside-performance.
Greg is going to contact an ol’ LVJBS Pal, David Nelson to see if He would like to join as a possible Pitchfork sit-in (stand-in?) and for a possible jam with Cubensis. More details TBA.

AUGUST 2022 LVJBS Meeting Minutes
Date: August 2, 2022
Location: 595 Brewery
Attendees: Paige T., Jessica G., Jeffrey T., Ramon F.
Item 1: President’s Report (Johnnie—absent w/ notes via Paige):
“Let’s do this!”
Item 2: Vice President’s Report (Adam-absent)
· A. Review of balances. Monies in both checking and savings (Scholarship fund money)
· B. Discussed the recent updates/research on the discussed ‘Las Vegas Jam Band Society Memorial Tree’ --We mentioned a possible memorial tree for our recent losses (Jenn M, Donna R., etc.). Looked into pricing for these types of memorials. $500 to designate & plant our own ‘tree’ at a Las Vegas park of our choice. Another option for $100, would provide a name plate/plaque to an existing tree. (Paige showed the researched location options and the existing tree info.)
After great discussion, the meeting attendees narrowed down the $100 tree locations to more central locations, in safer, less crime-filled areas to avoid any vandalism. We also discussed being sure to check out ‘where’ in those parks the tree would be, to ensure there is ‘space’ for drum circle-type events that are not near neighborhood walls, etc. (We do not want to have noise complaints, we want to ensure there is parking nearby, etc.) Meeting attendees considered discussing the $500 tree, choosing our centrally located & drum-circle friendly, Sunset Park. (*Paige & Jessica are going to make the effort to check out the other parks’ existing $100 trees, the location within the parks, & take photos to share at our Sept. meeting.)

“Shall we get started!?”
Thanks to our new LVJBS Members, Will & Star Houston, for joining us. :)
· B. Review of AmazonSmile added funds ($37+)
· C. Discussed the ‘Las Vegas Jam Band Society Memorial Tree’ --We mentioned a possible memorial tree for our recent losses (Jenn M, Donna R., etc.). Looked into pricing for these types of memorials. $500 to designate a ‘tree’ at a random Las Vegas park. We could ‘byo-plaque’ to a purchased/planted tree OR for $100 add our name plate/plaque to an existing tree. Group is leaning towards finding a great tree at Sunset Park (since it is centrally located in the valley and is one spot that ‘we’ have been to or hosted various drum circles at, in the past & since it would make for great, future memorial gatherings of music & friendship.) Paige to bring more info to our August meeting.
