Members’ (in-person) Meeting Minutes
Date: Tuesday, September 3, 2024
Meeting Start: 7:05 PM
Location: Cheba Hut (4550 S. Maryland Pkwy)
Attendees: Jessica G., Paige T., David deG.
Item1: President’s Report (Jessica):
“Hello & Welcome to the September, quarterly All Members’ Meeting!”
A. We have had a successful Marketing/Advertising partnership with Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas for the past month! They have graciously provided us with 10-20 tickets to ‘lotto’ off to our ‘Members and Friends of’ LVJBS.
*There are no BBLV September jam-rock events.
*Will request the following shows for an October partnership: Dropkick Murphys (10/6), Rival Sons & Clutch w/ Black Stone Cherry (10/10), Highly Suspect w/ Dead Poet Society (10/13), The Crane Wives w/ Rett Madison (10/24), Bowling for Soup (10/25)
B. RELIX (Harrision Ezratty) finally replied to the July email on Aug. 29th. They are not going to be involved with the Bender Jamboree as thought and wanted to discuss future BBLV tables. I mentioned the lack of ‘jamband’ type events at BBLV for Sept. & asked him to reach out to us once the BBLV calendar has events that He would like RELIX to represent.
C. The LVJBS did not have a table at the RED EYE GIN CopaRoom show this past Saturday. We didn’t hear from Taylor until a few days prior, so decided to have a 50/50 Raffle instead. (The Tuscany couldn’t allow us to do the 50/50 since the words ‘raffle’ were on the flyers/signage & not the word ‘donation’. (Thanks to Paige for joining me (early) to try to raise some funds & note to ‘selves’ for the donation-wording needs for Tuscany events.) Awaiting more info on the monthly Tuscany/LVJBS presents events.
D. LVJBS Holiday Party planning will need to begin soon. More info will be available at our October meeting. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please contact an LVJBS Officer.
E. Tecopa Takeover: Dave B. couldn’t make tonight’s meeting and made contact with me prior. The event will publically be announced soon. Music is now planned for the late afternoon/eve Friday, Nov. 8, throughout the day on the 9th, and the morning of the 10th (Friday-Sunday). Questions: Will the Annual Cornhole Tournament be happening, Greg? (No Fuquas this year.) Donation? The LVJBS will provide $750 for the event since it’s not as ‘large’ as the last event where $1k was provided. The Tecopa Resort (Amy) will donate $500 to the LVJBS to help with the event’s ‘Porta-Potty’ costs. (Paige sent Dave the non-profit letter copy.)

- D. We checked out the BONFIRE venue for Paige’s birthday gathering. Thoughts on future events there?
TREASURER’S REPORT (Paige):
*We need to have more help with set-ups, volunteering, etc. We need to come up with a ‘plan’ to get more helpers.
We made good money with the Shakedown Table weekends. We decided to give a gift card/package (movie cards/candy) to the Shakedown organizers and those volunteers who helped multiple times (decided number TBD) as a ‘Thank You’.
PEF Scholarship update on the 2024 recipients: We had $500 returned from the given 3 scholarships. We decided that the 2025 Scholarships would be a total of 4 ($500/ea.) since the credit is had.
ZEFFY update: Awaiting Liani to update us on the new program that was looked into (will replace WildApricot, if so.)
