FIRST MEETING OF THE SEMESTER!
When? August 20th at 7:00pm (Our meetings are every Thursday @ 7)
Where? McCool 111
What topic are we discussing? Popular anime
What anime are we watching? Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Should I come to this meeting? Heck yeah and bring friends!

Our elections were just held, and your new officers for the upcoming year will be:

President: Laura V.
Vice President: Joseph Y.
Secretary: Alex H.
Treasurer: Roger D.
Event Coordinator: Austin C.

Congratulations to you all, and I hope you make next year fun!

Be sure to come and support your newly elected officers in the upcoming year. They have big plans and will definitely make it a fun experience.

Congratulations to our new officers!

I would like to extend a thank you to the old officers who resigned. We couldn’t have gotten this far without Jessica and Andrew, so we will certainly miss you.

I hope everyone will give a warm welcome to Joseph Y., who is taking over as vice president for the rest of the semester; Morgan D., who will be the new treasurer; and Austin C., who is the new event coordinator. I am sure they will serve the club well in the remaining amount of time this semester.

Be prepared for our welcome party next week!

Please remember that this semester we will be located in McCool 111 for both Anime Night and Club meetings.

Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Mu Epsilon Kappa’s founding chapter, the University of North Texas, just had an article published in their school newspaper about their club and the MEK organization as a whole. Our club admins were asked to respond to some questions as representatives for our club, and we were mentioned pretty heavily in the latter half of the article.

Check the article out for yourself here.

Curious about what MEK actually is? Still unsure as to what benefits you, as a member, get from our partnership with UNT? (You actually get some cool stuff!!) Interested in doing something fun and relating it back to our Greek letters? Leave a comment here or bring it up in the discussion forum here.

Sorry for the short notice, but we’ve got a new room. Again. We’ll be in room 109 in McCool from now on, and this should be permanent unless we run out of room. If we do… we’ll figure it out.

Apologies, but this was not expected.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is our welcome party. We’ll be serving food and drink to paid members, though anyone is welcome to attend the anime viewing and meeting portions of the party.

The McCool lobby will be used to serve our food, followed by the anime viewing in McCool 100, the auditorium. Please drop by and welcome all our members back for the year, as well as to their new meeting location!

Remember, last day to sign up for AWA is also tomorrow, so if you’re wanting to, better let us know! You can still pay later, but the event is fast approaching. Our club-sponsored AWA trip will be on Saturday, September 20.

Just a warning to all of our members who currently are able to see the private forums. We will be removing all members from the private forum who have not paid dues for the 2008 Fall Semester on August 21, 2008. This is so that those who have not paid dues, and can still see the private forums, can no longer see them. If you would like to continue to view the private forums, please bring your $10 dues during the first club meeting of the semester.

We will also be making a new contact information topic (and deleting the old one) because many of our members have changed contact information.

Thank you for your patience, and remember to bring your $10 dues to the 1st meeting if you wish to continue seeing the private forums.

I’ve added several different pages, widgets, and plug-ins in an attempt to make sure everyone remains well-informed about the club.

The events calendar will be updated with the events planned each month, including meetings, anime nights, group meals, activities, and whatever else seems important. I may consider birthdays of members (or those that register can add their own) if you’d like.

The image gallery currently was just placed up as a test, but it does work and can be fixed up much nicer. I just put in a bunch of random images, but once our secretary has internet access, I should be forcing him to put things up.

Meeting information is on a separate page, but I’ve placed it in the announcements so that new members may know of the time. New members, do sign up on the forums and introduce yourselves! We live there and will certainly be happy to see you.

I’ve updated the scheme on this page a bit thanks to some user input. It’s more anime-ish and I figured out how to at least make the red parts be textured.

Those who would like to write articles, please let me know and I’ll add you with write permissions. I want to add anything you think should go here–reviews, convention information, game speculation, etc.

Also added is a user information profile box, which people can access when you write articles. The information is up to you, though, since you’re not required to fill out more than your username, email, and password. If you’d like an avatar, sign up on Gravatar with the same email address there.

I’m currently working on adding an onsite chat room as well, so please give me time.

For now that’s all. We’ll get to actual discussion of Club-related things soon!

This blog was installed for easier updating of our site.  We’re still getting it all set up, but feel free to register and I’ll get to fixing up accounts to the proper levels.

Hopefully you enjoy the new features this will bring us!  Remember, visit the forums!

Meetings begin Thursday, August 21.  Check out the Meetings page for location and time!  It’ll be updated with the anime nights time as well when we figure that out.
