D. Hope to have a GoogleMeet call with our ‘original’ founding LVJBS Members/Board of Directors/Tribal Elders within the first half of the year to discuss the ‘future’ of the LVJBS.
E. 2026 GOAL: It’s important that our Officers follow-through with what was shared/spoken about each month, throughout the month. If someone says they will take care of it, it needs to be followed through prior to the next meeting (with hopeful updates shared on our Officers’ Facebook Page OR a group-text as needed.)

FUTURE VOLUNTEER EVENT – Three Square Food Bank is a great option if we were to organize a group event that could include children over 13.

PRODUCTION REPORT(Greg):
● Joe Marcinek contacted us about a possible JMB show after-WSP. He wonders if 24 Oxford is open for one of their late-night spots. If not, he is okay to start earlier (than the show lets out) for a possible SandDollar LV Friday or Saturday show, yet the attendance might not be so great.
● Doug (from Terrapin Flyer) was connected with Andrew/24 Oxford for a WSP after show. (We are unsure if it is just one night or multiple nights.)

OPEN FLOOR (all):
*Website update: Samantha Schwartz has been working on our new website-to-be.
(Jessica messaged Sam to get info for the meeting’s agenda this week. Sam sent an email, asking Paige (Treasurer) to ‘secure the new platform’ by purchasing the needed license with PAID MEMBERSHIPS PRO. This platform will help migrate membership data from Wild Apricot to the new site.
Cost of license for one year is $299 (discounted from $599). This is significantly less than Wild Apricot, $1764 per year.
Sam attended the meeting briefly for an update and answer questions. Jessica to send her a list of our sponsors & add her as ‘editor’ to the monthly Excel-events list.
*SOCIAL MEDIAupdate:
Facebook is the most used social media. Jessica checked in with Tiffany B. in regards to what she keeps up with.
Instagram is being kept up by Tiffany. Jessica asked her to try to log-in to Facebook often (at least weekly?) to see/share those posts since that is what shows most communication. (Tiffany will make that a goal to set reminder to do so, yet Angela mentioned there being a way for Facebook to auto-send to Instagram. More details TBD.)
Twitter–We were unsure who had that account for us. (After the meeting, we remembered it was RJ. RJ was contacted and reminded us that it was now taken care of by Ian Z.—Jessica contacted Ian (who lives in PA now). He is going to get it back our way, locally, for ease.) Jaime H. will get the login info sent her way & we will decide the LVJBS/Twitter future at next meeting (@LVJamband)
*Adopt-A-Highway (next event: Sunday, January 11th @ 11 AM)
*There have been a few people wanting to become more involved with the LVJBS (i.e. Melissa Arcella). As those inquiries are made, let’s be sure to invite them to the ‘all members’ meetings and send the ‘volunteer table sign-ups’ their way!
*Neighborhood Bar has been booking their Thursday/Saturday events. We are happily sharing their ads when seen & can send interested bands their way.
*Jaime mentioned a possible new, downtown music location: THE DUSTLAND BAR (1433 Commerce St./Utah Ave.)
