President’s Report (Greg):  

“What’s up, Everybody?”

This report will be ‘short & sweet’….Everything is ‘status quo’ in LVJBS world!

Vice President’s Report (Johnnie):

·         Met with a city-developer in regards to the ‘grant’ (non-profit/arts collaboration).  They are in the preliminary stages for a 2017 (June) festival with bands (on Jackson Ave.) and activities.  We decided to help ‘point’ bands in their direction, as they go further.  More info TBD.

·         The 2017 LVJBS Members’ Calendar is ready to be printed.  The pictures are courtesy of photographer, Paul Citone.  The Tuesday meetings will be ‘reminders’ on each Tuesday of the month dates.

 

Secretary’s Report (Jessica):

·         It was nice turning this month’s calendar page to the ‘Soundtest 3D’ poster-pic. 

·         Thanks to those who helped out at the Adopt-A-Highway clean-up on Sept. 18th.  It only took 1.5 hours and was a fun time.

·         Johnny from RELIX magazine came to us for Halloween weekend RELIX table help at the Brooklyn Bowl.  We will ask officers and, then, open up the volunteer spots to members.  (It is important that responsible volunteers follow through with these spots, to avoid any future concerns with LVJBS.)
