This next meeting is a very important one for Anime Spot, elections will be taking place. We have five positions you can run for, President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Public Relations. If you want to run for a position or vote you must be a due paying member. you can purchase a membership at this week’s meeting before elections.

If you would like, you can run for the highest position you would be comfortable in and “slide down” to running for the lower positions. For example, if you want to be president but could stand to be secretary, you can run for both because we do the positions one at a time.

The meeting will be on Friday, April 6th, from 7:30pm-11:30pm, in the student union, Key West Room 218CD

Now, if we could just get you guys to enter the AMV Contest, that would be great! *hint hint*

We have the beginnings of our schedule. We are planning on having more meetings than this, some on weekdays to accommodate people who have trouble getting to campus on weekends. If you’re on the facebook group, please go there and vote in the poll for which day to have our alternate meetings.

We will have events other than Knightrokon over the course of the semester, but we’re still working on dates. If you have any event ideas or any past events we did that you enjoyed and would like to do again, let us know.

HELLO Anime Spot!

It looks like it’s that time of the year again, time for the holidays to start and the semester to be OVER! We all know the sleepless feeling of the dreaded finals week, so to give everyone a breather in between studying for their Master’s degrees, let’s PARTY!

So come on down to Anime Spot’s End of the Semester Party and have some fun with your fellow members as we watch some anime, play some games, raffle some cool prizes, and just have a good time in general. The anime this weekend is the fourth episode of Gundam Unicorn! This party will take place at the same time as our usual meetings, so this Friday, December 2nd in the Student Union, Key West 218 AB from 7:30pm-11:30pm.

Also if you’d like to bring some board games or some snack/drinks let us know in the comments of the Party’s Facebook page event so people don’t bring the same thing.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Everyone’s heard of KNIGHTROKON by now, right? Well if you haven’t, get off your bums and go check out the website of UCF’s very own Anime Convention! Hosted by your’s truly, Anime Spot. And because we are hosting such a momentous event right here at the very school, such things as bills and Senate meetings need to take place.
