We have an opportunity to host James King on the 24th of March for a concert. What we need is a venue to hold the concert that won’t cost us much. If anyone has an idea of where we might hold this, please let us know.

It was chilly and windy at Morrell Park today but our business meeting went as scheduled. We added a new board member, Vera Vann-Wilson, and Leon Evans is now the Vice-President. All other offices remain the same. While Smitty was elected President (see what happens when you miss the meeting), Al Bess will check with him to see if he can take the position. If he can’t then Al will remain President.
Vera brought up the possibility of starting a Wernick Jam Camp class. This consists of a monthly class to encourage folks of every level to come out and jam and learn what jamming is all about. Vera is already a certified instructor and will run the classes. We’re currently looking for a venue to hold the classes. If you have an idea about this , please let us know. We had several suggestions and will check them all out. Check back here for more details.
Ron Williams asked anyone who is interested in attending home jams to please get him your email address so we can let folks know when and where a jam will occur. If you’re interested, get your address to Ron so he can contact you.
We had a good time jamming both before and after the meeting and the food was as good as it gets. Thanks to everyone who came out, it was good to see you. Our next Pick-Out is February 18th. Don’t forget, Tuesday evenings is the acoustic music jam at the Kesterson Rec center.

We’ve had a couple of inquiries about attending our Pick Outs. They are open to the public and we encourage anyone interested to come out to see what’s going on. You don’t need to be a member to attend, but we hope you’ll join if you enjoy it. Let your friends know as well. We usually have a pot luck along with the picking so bring a dish to share with others and come join the fun. We do ask that only acoustic instruments be brought. Our Business meeting is set for January 7th and will include some jamming after the meeting, so you don’t have to wait for February. Come on out and visit, the more the better.
Let us know if you have any questions.

(702) 834-5872 is the number for a “NEW AND IMPROVED” Southern Nevada Bluegrass Music Society Hotline.
This number now has the option to leave a personal message after the obligatory “beep” if you so desire. Please refrain from using profanity. You never know who is picking up and transcribing the messages, it could be someone’s mother or grandmother.
If you want to check out the hotline or you have something to say, just call (702) 834-5872 and wait for the BEEP!

This is our new website. It includes a system that allows club officers to easily add, delete and change content. This article is called a “post” while the articles you see when you click one of the tabs above (currently “About Us”, “Jams” and “Join Us”) are each a “page.”
Once you get a login to the system, then you will have a menu that allows you to “write” or “manage” “posts” “pages” and “links.”
I forgot – a “link” is shown by example over there to the left – the Strawberry Festival. Click it and you’ll zip off to the festival website.
