Old News

[Spring 2007]

[Wed. 6.13.2007]

It's summer. Everything's closed until the fall. Go watch your own anime.

[Tues. 5.15.2007]

I lied. Today (Tuesday) will be our last official meeting of the semester. Come if you want to see how all those series we've been watching up to this point will end!

If anyone is interested, there is a group which meets at Barnes and Noble (at the Hampshire Mall) on the second Saturday of each month at 4:30pm to discuss manga and graphic novels. They would be happy to see anyone who wishes to come.

Another if anyone is interested: there is a Go group which meets at Rao's Coffee on Monday nights at 7pm. If you are interested in learning how to play, they're nice people and they would probably be willing to teach anyone who is interested in learning... they taught me!

We will be having our final marathon of the semester on Wednesday, May 16. Check the marathon schedule to see what will be showing and when it will show. The marathon will be held in THOMPSON 104, so don't go to Morrill.

If you have anything taken out from the library, please return it by the last meeting.

[Tues. 5.1.2007]

We will be back in Morill 329 tonight. No guarantees for next week though. -.-;;

We will be holding officer elections NEXT WEEK (5.8.2007) if you are interested in running, you should come to the meeting tonight, or contact one of the officers ASAP!!

We're still selling our VHS tapes. Buy them from us already!

Next week will be the last meeting of the semester. Come and see what cool treats we bring, and see the endings of all the series we've watched this semester!

We will be having a marathon on Reading Day. Watch this space for more details.

[Mon. 4.23.2007]

Anime Boston is now over, which means that the VHS sale is now on. Come buy our VHS so that we have room (and money) for more anime and manga in the library!

This week's meeting will be in Thompson 104 again. I don't know what's up with that, but it's really starting to bug me...

Officer's Pick on Tuesday will be the AMV contest winners from Anime Boston. If you wanted to see them, you should come at 6pm!!

The Anime and Manga class will be watching Pokemon this week. It will be in Japanese, one way or another, unless Professor Baird can't find a sub... In which case, don't look at us like it's OUR fault.

[Tues. 4.17.2007]

We're back in Morrill-329 tonight, so don't get confused.

We will be voting on showings for next semester tonight, so if you want a say in what we watch, show up. AMVs for each show will be screened first, followed by the voting.

Anime Boston is on Friday!! Make sure you've got a ride, a place to stay, and all of your costumes ready to go!

Condolences and sympathies to the friends and families of the students and teachers killed in yesterday's shooting at VA Tech.

[Mon. 4.09.2007]

This week's meeting will be in Thompson 104. If you don't know where that is, I suggest you find a map or ask an officer or a friend.

There WILL be a meeting next Tuesday (4.17) in spite of the fact that we will be following a Monday schedule for classes. This is the only way that we will be able to finish our series by the end of the semester.

Anime Boston is in 12 days. If you don't have a ride or a place to stay, you should probably find one quickly! Also, if you did not recieve pre-registration confirmation for Anime Boston, and you did register with us, you should check their website (www.animeboston.com) to make sure that you are on the list.

[Tues. 3.27.2007]

The meeting will be in the usual place at the usual time today. As usual.

Officer profiles have been updated with office hours for this semester. Feel free to show up during those times (or almost any time between noon and 1 on all weekdays) to browse the library or just hang out.

Spring 2007

[Tues. 3.13.2007]
As usual, our meeting will be in Morrill 329 today. Be there for anime-y goodness!!

Spring Break is next week, so don't show up for a meeting then... nobody'll be there!!

[Mon. 2.26.2007]
UPDATE: Unless there is a last minute change, there will be NO Anime Club on Tuesday the 27th. The keys don't work for the room we got, so we can't show anything unless we get the right keys... but we won't be able to get them in time because we didn't know who to go to. Go figure.

Blame the beurocracy and we'll see you next week.

[Thur. 2.22.2007]
IMPORTANT!!! Next week's meeting will be held in Holdsworth 203. If you don't know where that it, I suggest looking at a map of the campus, because I don't know where it is either. This is subject to change if I can convince Prof. Baird to get us a better room with his super teacher powers, so keep checking back here.

Congratulations to our two new officers:
President: Yvette Chretien
Vice President: Nicole Lewis

Sorry if I spelled either name wrong!

Officer information will be updated accordingly when CSI isn't on in 20 minutes. ^_^

[Tues 2.13.2007]
Next week will be the elections for president and vice-president. Please try to show up as these positions are very important to the smooth running of this club.

Office hours until further notice will be as follows: Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 12:15-1:00 Tuesday/Thursday: 11:00-12:00 and 12:40-2:00

If anyone is interested in sharing a hotel room during Anime Boston, please email Napoleon for more information.

[Thurs 2.1.2007]
First, I would like to apologize for those of you who showed up on Tuesday to find no meeting. My bad.

There are two officer positions which we will need filled. Both our president and vice-president are unable to continue in their offices. Any interested parties should show up to the meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 5 so that we can hold elections ASAP and commence training.

There will be a major change to the format of meetings this semester. After the main showings this semester, (see the Schedule page) we will be hosting the Anime and Manga class's weekly anime showing. There will be a different anime shown every week, and club members are welcome to stay and watch. The schedule will show which anime will be shown in the time slot, and we will try to tell you a week ahead of time what will be shown the following week.

[Sun 1.14.2007]
There will be emergency elections for the position of vice-president held at the second meeting following the start of the new semester. All parties interested in running for the position are encouraged to attend. However if you're not going to take the responsibility seriously, don't bother running.

The webmaster would also appreciate it if the former officers of the club would NOT make alterations to any part of the site without telling her first... it causes problems with the updating system.

[Sun 12.19.2006]
A new link has been posted on the Mailing List page so that interested members can join the mailing list without having to e-mail Sharon. I hope it's easier to use.
I trust everyone enjoyed the marathon & hope that ya'll have a wonderful winter break. Remember to return any last minute DVDs or manga to the library.

Good luck during finals week!
