Conventions!

I just want to let everyone know about two upcoming conventions in our area.

New York Anime Festival and DigitalLife are both going to take place from September 25-28 in the Jacob Javits Center.

For NYAF, this is a change from last year...so don't miss it because you mixed up the dates! :)

Upcoming Anime

ANN has posted a list of this season's upcoming anime. So, if you're interested in seeing what's new, here's a link to the list:

Also, please read the post below if you haven't already. Important stuff :)

New CSI Policies

Hi Everyone!

There are a few new CSI (Center for Student Involvement) policies which greatly effect the club. I will have a member pointing this out to everyone at our meeting tomorrow (unfortunately I will not be able to attend), but I figure that having these up on our blog won't hurt.

1) Rules
CSI is really cracking down on certain things. We NEED to have 15 members or the club WILL be cut. I've found a couple of new ways to advertise, unfortunately I can't have them up in time for our second meeting, but perhaps I can have them up in time for the third. This includes posters. With the new polices in effect, it's simply impossible for me to get them up today. Hopefully with the new advertising efforts, we will gain members. That doesn't mean current members can't help out. Recruit! Keep the club alive.

2) Events
All clubs are REQUIRED to hold 3 events per semester (2 regular, 1 community service). My officers and I have already come up with events that the club can hold, and I will try to get in contact with other small clubs so we can collaborate on events and work together. However, I cannot plan events for the club on my own—I simply don't have the time. All members have to help with the event-planning process. If you have any ideas, please come to me, comment on this post, or email me. Events do not have to be big, so please come to me with any ideas you might have!

3) Club email
Pretty soon the club will have it's own email address. It will be AnimeClub@adelphi.edu, right now I can't access it, but I should be able to soon.

4) Budget
All clubs are receiving funds now. Do you have any ideas on what the anime club can use its budget on? Please contact me :)

I understand this may be frustrating to long-time members as the club has usually done its own thing in the past. Unfortunately we will not be able to continue doing that, so some things are going to have to change. I really need the members' cooperation on this one, and hopefully we can have a great year together in the process.
