Mayor’s report (Jenny M.):  Color:  Yellow Sunshine

*Jenny has the needed phone numbers to start making the ‘personal’ phone calls of gratitude, thanking our 2019 members for joining the LVJBS. 

 

(Officers asked to send JT some ‘bulleted points’ of the past year’s LVJBS facts/events to help with a ‘letter’, mailed to Members and ‘missed’ Members, sharing our new ideas, happenings, and goals.  This will help with the creation of the letter.)

*Dustin/Amanda Terry (now in TX) have friends, The Bourgeois Mystics, doing their ‘La Bonitas Tour’ on Friday, August 9th, here in Las Vegas.  (More details TBA). 

 

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

*FUND DEVELOPMENT CHAIR (Megan B.):  The LVJBS SCHOLARSHIP FUND is coming along great.  After the Garage Mahal event, $1,440 was raised.  The application will be sent ‘live’ with a due date of August 2019, to help with the awarding of the first scholarship, in September.  (Once applicants have applied, specific donation-needs can be requested.)  We want to welcome Valerie Porter (Peter’s wife) to have input with our decision making. 

*Megan to send Officers/Board members a copy of the LVJBS Donation package for us to share, as needed.

 

 OPEN FLOOR:

*(Dan R.):  The Sound System Proposal was created and shared with the Officers: 

Reminder of Proposal (April’s meeting): We now pay $60/mo. for our Sound System’s storage.  Dan proposed to the group that He would ‘buy’ the System from the LVJBS, store it in his personal storage area, and have it available for any of the LVJBS’s needs. Officers had discussion of the details:   Dan’s $1 purchase includes storage & Maintenance.  LVJBS to utilize, as needed, yet must be used by a ‘certified’ Sound System Engineer, if used without Dan.  If Dan chooses to ‘divest’ himself of the system, the LVJBS has the right of ‘first buy back’ for $1.  Discussion of a generated inventory list sent to the Officers and a discussion of situations/what-ifs (moving out of state/death/divorce) were had. 

*Thank you to AEG and The Joint for the 40 comp tickets to Phil Lesh & Friends & the given discounted tickets.  J

*Paige has the 2019 Membership cards.  Contact her & grab it when convenient!

*JT’s thoughts:  There are discounts given to Platinum Drivers of LYFT (i.e. 40% FTD flowers/Sprint phone discount)….Why not ask local companies & create a list of LVJBS Membership rewards from various businesses?  More info TBD.
