Jan 6  So it begins…

Hey, everyone. This is Dylan, your new webmaster for the Winter 2011 term. (Yes, someone finally ousted Jon. :P) I’m not much for introductions, but if you have any questions/concerns about the website or the forums, PM me (wartjr2373) or send me an email and I’ll be sure to respond.

Information is limited at the moment, so I’ll add more later, but here is some of the stuff you have to look forward to:

• Games Nights – Friday, January 7 at 4:30PM, AL 208 – Games nights! These generally occur every Friday at the same time, but the room will usually change, so check back here to find out where it is.
• Cosplay Tea Party – Saturday, January 8 at 2:00PM, Amy’s place – Amy wants to have another cosplay tea party. I wasn’t at the last one but basically you drink tea and work on costumes. If you like either of these things or just want to hang out, then come to this! Location is Amy’s, same place as the Hot Pot last term. If you didn’t go to that or don’t remember, you can try to get a hold of her. Or, probably easier, you can meet us in the SLC at 1:00PM. We’ll be going to Gamestop to get Shiny Raikou and then proceed to Amy’s place.
• Meeting – Monday, January 10 at 6:00PM, MC 2035 – There will be another meeting next Monday. Most of the initial bureaucracy is out of the way, so this one should be shorter and more fun. History suggests discussions of Show 1 and Club’s Days. Again, no room booking yet, so stay tuned.
• Project Nights – Wednesday, January 12 at 6:00PM, SLC 2109 – Project nights. These happen every Wednesday at the same time in the same room, generally. If you have any projects you’ve been working on, the people here would surely love to help you work on it. Even if you don’t have anything, you can come and help other people with their projects. Generally much more productive than our usual stuff.
• Club’s Days – Thursday, January 13 and Friday, January 14, 10:00AM to 3:00PM, SLC Great Hall – Club’s Days is where we show off how great we are and try to convince people to join. You can come to learn more about the club, buy your membership, and you can even help recruit more members.
• Show 1 – Friday, January 14, 4:30PM to 10:00PM and Saturday, January 15, 2:30 to 10:00PM, Room AL 116 – Schedule can be found here. This is where and when you want to be, our first show. This is where we show off what we do best, and actually watch some anime!

Now that that’s out of the way, if you’re still reading this, I have a couple other things to impart to you. First of all, if you want to get involved in the online community, be sure to sign up on the forums. If you have any questions that aren’t answered by our woefully out-dated FAQ, it’s best to consult the forums. Start a new topic if your question is unanswered, and the right person should be able to get to it fairly quickly.

If you want to receive information via email, be sure to sign up for the mailing list. Information on how to add or remove yourself from the mailing list can be found here.

Finally, since we held elections last Tuesday, allow me to introduce your Winter 2011 CTRL-A executive task force. If you want stuff to happen during this term, bother the right person in this group until it happens.

• President: Kyle Kylie
• Vice-President: June
• Secretary: Will
• Treasurer: Karl
• External Relations Officer: Jonathan

For details on these positions, check out the constitution and the by-laws. If you want to reach any of us, you can find our contact information here.

Phew, I think that’s all of it. Remember to check back later for more detailed room information for the events that are close-at-hand, or sign up for the mailing list if that’s more your speed. Have a great week, and enjoy the rest of your stay at Ctrl-A. We are the club that keeps on expanding, because we select all! Hahahaha! >_> Ignore those Ctrl-C guys, though. They just keep multiplying. (snicker)

Okay, I’ll stop.

“Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!” Dylan
