*Upcoming 2020 Officer Nominations have all been in.  (There were 2 Offices needing a Vote:  President/Secretary). Yet, the current Secretary (Jessica) does not want to risk her status of a “Tribal Member/Charter Member” due to how the LVJBS’s ‘Bi-laws’ are written:  “Officer at least one year/Committee Chair for at least two years/NO loss of any held Election for Office”, she has removed herself from the 2020 Ballot, for the 2020’s Office of Secretary.

*After seeing BLUE OYSTER CULT in Moapa, NV recently, there is another possible venue that could host a great event.  (Stage area with a large grassy area for the audience).  Discussion had of a Halloween event on Saturday, Oct. 31^st, 2020.  Our friends, SPAFFORD, are willing to help us celebrate this 20 year milestone, if date allows.  More details TBD.

*It’s been wonderful being a dedicated LVJBS Secretary for these many past years.  Congrats to Megan for getting to take over the duties for 2020. 

 

Treasurer’s Report (Paige): 

*Dues are now ‘monthly’ payments.  $10/month.  The 2020 Annual memberships can now be paid for this upcoming year.  An email will soon be sent with any earned meeting ‘credits’ for a discounted membership and ‘due’ dates. 

*HOLIDAY PARTY monies will be ready for the performers’ payments. 

Costs: Pitchfork $300, DJ $75, & the requested $175 for Ice, Propane, & Light projection.

Total of $550.  Officers decided that $650 will be given to the hosts for payments and any miscellaneous needs. (Other Officers and Members have been graciously buying/donating goods/decorations for this event without needed reimbursements.)

* Don’t forget that attending monthly meetings can get you $5 credits for the next year’s dues.  (up to $20max).  Attendance is noted each month and an email is sent your way each December, letting you know the needed dues to keep current.

*Be sure to add your SMITH’S GROCERY card and your AMAZONSMILES account, to the ‘Jam Band Society of America’ non-profit help, to ensure a portion of your purchases comes back our way!  Tell your friends/family!  (We will look into posting an ‘easy’ ‘click here’ link for others to get started.)

*’CASINO-CARES program, where a gambler’s winnings can have their ‘spare change’ or ‘coins/cents’ donated to a non-profit instead of ‘cashed out’ in their pocket.  We will reach out to them to proceed.  This is an excellent way for groups to earn ‘easy’ money.
