*MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL info will be reviewed.  There were a few issues with members using ‘discount codes’, so some troubleshooting occurred and that helped:

 

*$10/month, if paid monthly

*$100/year (single membership), if paid in full by March 1st

*$150/year (couple--same address membership), if paid in full by March 1st

(Possible discounts:  If attendance in 4 or more monthly meetings the year prior was had, $20 can be taken off your year’s membership cost.)

 

**At the December 2021 meeting, the discussion of having any future elected Officer’s Membership cost reduced to $25/each (single membership) was had.  The LVJBS Team members agreed to this discount.  (**Discount only valid for those Officers who were paid in full members the year prior and attended meetings/held up to their Elected duties (Found coverage when needed, Volunteered throughout the year, etc.)

 

*TICKET LOTTERY information:

--We have extended the MELVIN SEALS & JGB lotto with the BBLV until Saturday, Jan. 8th.  Members and any interested music fan, can help advertise the BBLV event by sharing the event to their own Facebook page, tagging at least 5 non-LVJBS members and by completing the online registration form. 25 free tickets will be distributed to those who meet the requests.

(*See the LVJBS email and/or Facebook page for complete details and forms.) 

 

Item 2: Vice President’s Report (Adam):

  • A.    Wasn’t able to make the Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas (BBLV) meeting with JT and BBLV’s Director of Marketing, Kirk Reed.  An update of the meeting was shared by JT: 
  •  
  • The BBLV wants to continue their relationship with the LVJBS, by us helping them to find ‘JamBand’ related bands for contacting and helping them to advertise their events.  This assistance will earn us an allotment of comp’d tickets for disbursement to our members.
  •  
  • (Jessica to soon send out a Facebook post, asking Jambanders to share their thoughts or hopes of future Jamband groups/musician names which they would like to see in our city.  From there, we will get those suggestions the BBLV’s way so they can contact and arrange events.)

  • JT’s 2022 goal is to send 5 letters/month to business sponsors in hopes for them to donate money, in exchange for their names/business names to be added to our events.  Also, depending on the given donations, a certain number of LVJBS memberships can be given to their company to share with their employees/staff, as they choose.
