Meeting Change for the Summer

2009-07-25T12:51:00.004-04:00

Apologies to anyone who thought there was a meet today- no. Unfortunately the Whitman public library will be closed on Saturdays for the summer. Therefore we'll have to adjust meetings to Thursdays or Fridays. Also, anyone who plans a meeting, please let everyone know in a week's advance AND after you call the library and CONFIRM we can have a meeting. Thank you.

Meeting Change

2009-03-16T15:28:00.003-04:00

From now on, Anime Club will no longer be meeting on the first Saturday of each month. Instead, it will be on the last Saturday, starting on March 28. The meetings will still be at Whitman Library from 1:00 to 4:00pm. Hope to see you there!

Anime Club Meet Saturday

2009-02-09T09:52:00.003-05:00

There is a meet at the Whitman's local library on saturday, February 14, same time like always. Games and movies are always open, so bring in something that you would like to share or just ask around on AIM.

Unrelated note - February 5th was Travis's and my (Kevin) birthday on the 5th, so don't forget to congrat us on getting closer to old age. =P

Anime Club on Saturday

2008-11-30T00:50:00.003-05:00

There will be an Anime Club meeting this Saturday, December 6, from 1:00 to 4:00pm at the Whitman Public Library. We will be playing video games (DDR, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, etc.), card games, and possibly watching anime (depending on what DVDs people have available). Hope to see lots of people there!

More Club Meetings!!!!

2008-11-08T23:12:00.003-05:00

From December to June, we will be returning to having meetings at Whitman Public Library on the first Saturday of every month. These meetings will be from 1:00-4:00pm.

Also, we can possibly have an additional meeting at Weymouth Tufts Library. Just comment on the blog and let me know what dates you think would be good for this meeting and I'll contact the library about it. Also, Tufts Library is open from 9-5 on Saturdays. Is 2-5pm a good time for the meeting, or should we stick to 1-4, like the Whitman meetings?

2008-07-02T21:17:00.002-04:00

The July meeting is thursday the 17th. We need a ps2 and we will be watching either Moon Phase or Busou Renkin.

@ 12-3 pm

August meeting is thursday the 14th. I will not be there so bookworm and kevin are in charge. If bookworm doesn't do a good job then you have permission to lock her in the closet.

@ 1-4 pm

After this september will have the meetings on saturdays again. I will be off to college so bookworm and shade will have to be in charge like before and will be responsible for meeting dates.

Permission Forms

2007-02-07T21:20:00.000-05:00

Greetings all,

I've sent out all the forms to the people who have given me their e-mail addresses (except one person's whose I could not decipher) and included with the permission slips were additional forms, prompted by disorderly conduct at meetings. These additional consent forms are to maintain a suitable environs for all the members and should be signed by member and parent/guardian alike. ALL the members need to have the consent forms turned in, if not the permission forms (for those under 16) to be admitted at the next meeting. If you need the permission or consent form, e-mail me at symphoniafan@yahoo.com . See you all Saturday!

As bookworm stated the next meeting will be held in weymouth, february 10th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. We will be viewing 'Trinity Blood'. Due to the recommended age rating on this series, I will be sending out permission forms for those under 16 and gave me their e-mails at the most recent meeting. If you wish to attend this meeting and view the anime if you are under 16, you must bring a permission slip signed by a legal gaurdian. If you did not attend the most recent meeting or did not write down a usable e-mail address, send me an e-mail at symphoniafan@yahoo.com and I will send you a permission slip.

Meeting in Weymouth!

There will be a Manga Club meeting at the Weymouth Tufts Library on Saturday September 23 from 9:00 am to noon. We will be watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa. Please come!

Meetings during school!

2006-09-08T17:11:00.000-04:00

Currently the next club meeting is at the Halifax Holmes Public Library on Saturday, September 16th from 10am to noon. The meetings after this'll probably vary due to people's weekend schedules or suggestions on the http://www.myowncafe.org/ anime/manga topic message board. Friday nights and Saturday mornings seem to be the best options at the moment. (Seeing as school has started and most parents will flip if their children ask to attend a club meeting on a school night.) If anyone has a request for a meeting date, or cannot attend/get a ride, post on myowncafe and let me now (my screen name is Shade there too). If you're not a member of myowncafe, you'll need a library card and be between the ages of 13 and 18 to register.

Anime Manga Club

2006-08-11T17:30:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! There was some trouble with the official club website, so I thought we could try using a blog. (The official website is http://www.freewebs.com/good_company474.) My library's teen group has a blog and it's been working very well for us, so hopefully this will work out. Anyway, for those who don't already know, the Massachusetts Anime/Manga Club was started by some people from www.myowncafe.org. It currently meets at Rehoboth Blanding Library, Halifax Holmes Library, and Weymouth Tufts Library.
