With LBS you can enjoy Bourbon Tastings, Social Sippers, Barrel Selections, Charitable Fundraising, Bourbon Dinners, Education, Networking, Meeting New Friends, and More! That's what we strive to provide.In my Volunteer Role, I helped establish this dues-based membership organization along with two other co-founders in 2014 and a small group of friends who enjoyed good bourbon and rye whiskey. What began as a group of friends enjoying distillery tours and backyard pours became a 501(c)7 non-profit social organization in 2015 and is a 250+ member organization that hosts 2+ events per month and has raised over $200,000 for a variety of organizations, entities, and individuals since mid-2014. I have served on our Board of Directors and as the Treasurer and Membership Coordinator since our founding in 2014 and also currently serve as Vice President. I keep the books, manage membership, plan events, speak at events, and conduct many operational functions within the club. Under my leadership, we have graduated from using Excel spreadsheets keeping member data and multiple event platforms to utilizing a membership software platform called Club Express and have grown membership and our statewide visibility tenfold! A labor of love!
