NOTE FROM MISS LAURIE:  I believe The Gnu’s Room is co-sponsoring this event since they are the ones whom I received this notice from.  I was assured that this event would be family-friendly.



Anime Club


I will be starting an anime, manga, comic/graphic novel club at The Gnu’s Room.   I am excited that an anime parent is willing to help me with this new endeavor.  I am taking input from current and former students and parents. 

We will be having a sign-up sheet at the Auburn Anime Day this Saturday.  If you would like to be advised of the Anime Club events please send me an e-mail; when a name for the club is settled on then the club will have a blog, website or Google group.

NOTE TO ANIME FANS:  The club will be for 10 to 18 year old.   It will be for fans of anime/manga, comic books and graphic novels.  I am looking for suggestions for names for the club and then the members will vote on the one they like best.  We will also have a contest to design a club mascot.
