LAS VEGAS JAM BAND SOCIETY
Members’ Meeting Minutes
July 14, 2015
Meeting Begins: 7:45PM
President’s Report (Greg): “Everything’s going great—Let’s keep it how it’s going!”
Vice President’s Report (Kathy): It’s been a great Summer. Let’s keep it up. The poster for the 15thAnniversary is in the making. More details later.
Secretary’s Report (Jessica): This Summer has been good for marketing. Many LVJBS info cards have been given out at the recent shows. Check out via Facebook or web: ‘Living with the Dead’, a Deadhead documentary, from someone met at Santa Clara, who showed interest in the LVJBS’ work and is creating a documentary: www.deadheadsdoc.com
Treasurer’s Report (Paige): The LVJBS has made some money, in return from the ‘AmazonSmiles’ purchases. A small percentage of any ‘Amazon’ purchase, returns to LVJBS when you order from www.amazonsmiles.com and enter the non-profit Jamband Society of America. (It will save the information for the future orders, once found.)
We now have a P.O. Box to help ‘centralize’ our paperwork/mail.
One new member, Carron Haggerty, was met at High Sierra and has joined LVJBS for the remainder of 2015. Welcome! J
Mayor’s Report (Frobi (absent) via Jessica):
COLOR: Beautiful Psychedelic Rainbows
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Fundraising Committee (John & Kathy): Pictures of the past LVJBS posters were selected and have been sent in for the 2016 Calendar. They ‘should’ be ready at the same time as the ordered T-shirts. A brochure with LVJBS and the newly added P.O. Box info will be available. This will also be found on the ‘Wild Apricot’ site, via our ‘donations’ page.
A ‘Jerry’ nice tapestry was shown. This Jerry-face, signed, on vinyl was created by an Artist friend of Ray Hansen’s. The Fundraising Committee is thinking a $5 Raffle Ticket. More info TBD.
PR Committee (Jenny): Focusing thoughts of duties and efforts, on more outside events (i.e. Tacopa Takeover), since most other events have been hosted by other promoters/other venues.

*Contact Paige if there are any leads on where to order ‘tye-dye’ Lanyards (badge holders). Thanks!
*Greg shared the T-shirt samples/fabric samples. Group asked for 2 style for woman (a ladies’ cut T-shirt and a razorback Tank top) and one for the Mens’, yet in two colors. The Officers will finalize the order and create a pre-order at the upcoming Officers’ Meeting.
