- B. The last month’s meeting minutes were not recorded, nor posted to WildApricot. (JT to send the recording to Paige so the meeting’s minutes can be noted.)

Open Floor
- A. (Jessica G.) We recently got a call from Marc Cutler (N*Dot) about our group still participating in the ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY clean-up area because there are other groups wanting to help the program. (I did mention that August is a month we often don’t participate due to the heat of the summer—Yet, we drive by to ensure there is not any immediate need.) Marc did ask for us to ‘pin’ the area that we cover and send his way. The next Adopt-A-Highway clean up date is scheduled for Saturday, September 25th @ 9 AM. (Facebook and email invite to be sent out soon!)
- B. (Dave B. & Megan B.) Due to Covid regulations, we have decided to cancel the 2021 TECOPA TAKEOVER (weekend of Nov. 11-14). The LVJBS donated (& will still provide) $1k to assist with the bills and it has been decided that a less formal event will still take place, while we celebrate one another, while having a great 2-day party. So far, MegaScopes, Shaky Feelin’, & a few other local music acts will still be sharing in the fun. Camping and lodging is up to the individuals who attend. (More info to come.)
